Dog Meat Trade

Proceeding contribution from Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2015. It occurred during Backbench debate on Dog Meat Trade.

My hon. Friend was talking about the delicacy element. Does she agree that we should be working with international charities across the piece to raise awareness of the fact that that is not a reason for consuming these meats? The Yulin festival was mentioned earlier; a huge social media campaign in 2011 forced the closure of the Qianxi dog meat festival. Can we encourage people to get the message out that this is not socially acceptable behaviour?
