A petition signed by more than a quarter of a million people from around the world calling for an end to the brutal dog and cat meat trade in Indonesia has been handed in.
The Governor of North Sulawesi, Olly Dondokambey, received the petition after a campaign by Dog Meat Free Indonesia coalition, Care 2 and local animal protection groups.
It comes as the Dog Meat Free Indonesia (DMFI) coalition produced evidence showing the killings continuing in Tomohon, despite assurances to the contrary from the Mayor's office.
British actor Peter Egan visited coalition representatives earlier this year and was told by officials the trade would end.
