I always thought I'd like to go to Bali, but after seeing all of these stories, I'd be sobbing all the time.

(28,117 posts)Nearly 200 dogs a day are currently being slaughtered and consumed in Bali, BAWA estimates. Thats around 70,000 a year.
The practice of consuming dog meat is not a long-held Balinese tradition, but was brought to the island by minorities who came to work in the hospitality industry in the 1970s.
Along the beaches in South Bali, unsuspecting tourists may also unknowingly purchase dog sate, as sellers may simply pass them off as chicken sate in a bid to make profits.

All western tourists should boycott Bali until this heartbreaking, cruel practice is stopped.
They even beat the poor dogs before killing them, thinking that would improve the flavor of the dog meat!! 😠😠
Tourism makes up 80% of the economy, so if people boycott this horrific practice, it will STOP.
🚨 Do Not Go to Bali. 🚨
