Disturbing video has emerged showing barbecued kittens for sale in an Indonesian market that has ignored orders to stop selling cat and dog meat.
Footage shows cruel traders bludgeoning the animals to death and then blowtorching them in front of shocked onlookers at an 'extreme market' in Tomohon, a city in North Sulawesi Province.
Horrified campaigners who are battling to end the barbaric industry claim some of the animals were still alive when they were being blasted with flames.
Charities say officials from the Mayor of Tomohon's office pledged to end the sale and slaughter of dogs and cats at the market in February. Last month, Indonesia said it was also preparing a regulation to ban the trade of meat derived from pets and exotic animals.
