Vietnam 2019 – dogs of Vietnam

dogs of Vietnam
dogs of Vietnam

In 2019 I visited the north of Vietnam.
Everywhere you can find dogs, running arround or sometimes prepared for food. Dogs for food is an exception and will be eaten only for special celebrations.

You will find the photographs of the Dogs of Vietnam here.

Dogs are a common sight in Vietnam, and are considered both pets and a source of protein in some parts of the country.

In urban areas, many families keep dogs as pets, and they are treated with love and care, similar to how they are treated in other parts of the world. Some popular breeds in Vietnam include the Shih Tzu, Poodle, and Pomeranian.

However, in rural areas, some people eat dog meat, which is considered a delicacy and is believed to have health benefits. This practice is controversial and is not widely accepted by all Vietnamese people. Eating dog meat is not legal in Vietnam but it is still being consumed by some people.

Animal welfare organizations have been working to end the practice of eating dog meat in Vietnam, and to promote the humane treatment of dogs. Many of these organizations also provide education and awareness programs to help people understand the importance of proper animal care.

It is important to note that visitors should not participate in any activities related to dog meat consumption or any other form of animal cruelty. It is also important to respect local customs and cultural norms.

Les chiens sont monnaie courante au Vietnam et sont considérés à la fois comme des animaux de compagnie et comme une source de protéines dans certaines régions du pays.

Dans les zones urbaines, de nombreuses familles ont des chiens comme animaux de compagnie, et ils sont traités avec amour et attention, comme dans d’autres parties du monde. Parmi les races populaires au Vietnam figurent le Shih Tzu, le Caniche et le Poméranien.

Toutefois, dans les zones rurales, certaines personnes mangent de la viande de chien, considérée comme un mets délicat et censée avoir des effets bénéfiques sur la santé. Cette pratique est controversée et n’est pas largement acceptée par tous les Vietnamiens. La consommation de viande de chien n’est pas légale au Vietnam, mais elle est encore consommée par certaines personnes.

Les organisations de protection des animaux s’efforcent de mettre fin à la pratique de la viande de chien au Vietnam et de promouvoir le traitement humain des chiens. Bon nombre de ces organisations proposent également des programmes d’éducation et de sensibilisation pour aider les gens à comprendre l’importance des soins appropriés aux animaux.

Il est important de noter que les visiteurs ne doivent participer à aucune activité liée à la consommation de viande de chien ou à toute autre forme de cruauté envers les animaux. Il est également important de respecter les coutumes et les normes culturelles locales.
