Unlike Matland, Indon Muslims love to eat Dog meat and love to keep Dogs as pets

[UltimaOnline]

JAKARTA – A Jakarta restaurant that sells dog meat has notched up more sales of it in the past year owing to fewer competitors offering such dishes, but its Muslim owner, Ms Lastri, is not happy.

Indonesia’s largest city is on the verge of banning the trade and consumption of dog meat to prevent the spread of rabies and promote animal welfare.

Ms Lastri, a Muslim who goes by one name, takes issue with the planned ban, arguing that it has been mooted merely because dogs are viewed as domesticated animals.

“We get the meat from wild dogs our supplier sources from the forest of Sukabumi (in West Java province), not from domesticated dogs. I, myself, keep dogs as pets, but never use (my pet dogs) for my food ingredients,” she said.
