## What the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Involves
Millions of dogs and cats are stolen, trafficked and slaughtered for meat each year, often in conditions that breach basic animal welfare and public-health standards. Live markets and long-distance transport spread disease including rabies risk.

## What WARN Funds In-Network
WARN supports partner-led interception and seizure rescue, quarantine and veterinary triage, shelter recovery space, and community education in Indonesia and Malaysia. Vietnam and Cambodia content on the site is educational context outside the current partner network.

## How to Direct Your Gift
Donate to the dog and cat meat trade appeal, give monthly, or choose an unrestricted gift. Every donation is receipted and directed through WARN's transparent partner-grant model.

## What Happens After a Meat-Trade Seizure
Confiscated dogs and cats need rabies-risk assessment, quarantine, veterinary triage and shelter placement within hours. Without funded capacity, animals return to traders or are euthanised. Partner grants fund the post-seizure gap across Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.

## Demand Reduction Alongside Rescue
Seizure rescue alone cannot end the trade. Partner programmes combine interception response with community education and advocacy supporting demand reduction — the long-term complement to emergency quarantine capacity.

## What Your Gift Buys on the Ground
Roughly £15–25 funds one street dog through catch, neuter, rabies vaccination and return in network countries. £100 supports a small clinic day. £500 helps stock quarantine after a trafficking seizure. Monthly gifts let partners plan multi-year CNVR instead of crisis-only response.

## What WARN funds
- Seizure rescue and emergency veterinary triage for confiscated animals.
- Quarantine and shelter capacity after live-animal intercepts.
- Community cat and street-dog welfare that reduces supply into trade routes.
- Education and advocacy supporting demand reduction.
- Post-seizure quarantine capacity in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.

## FAQ
### Can I donate from the UK to stop the dog and cat meat trade?
Yes. UK supporters can donate to WARN's dog and cat meat trade appeal to fund partner-led seizure rescue and quarantine. WARN is a registered global not-for-profit and cannot claim Gift Aid.

### Which countries does WARN fund for meat-trade rescue?
WARN's current in-network focus for this programme is Indonesia and Malaysia. Other countries mentioned on the site are educational and search context.

### What happens to animals after a seizure?
Rescued dogs and cats need immediate veterinary triage, rabies-risk assessment, quarantine and shelter space. Some can be rehomed; others need longer recovery before adoption.

### Is this the same as street dog CNVR?
Related but distinct. CNVR stabilises street dog populations humanely. Meat-trade work focuses on intercepting trafficked animals, post-seizure care and reducing demand — though both improve welfare and public health.

### Can I give monthly to this cause?
Yes. Set up a monthly gift through the donation widget or symbolic adoption, and ask for it to support the dog and cat meat trade appeal.

### How many dogs are killed for meat annually?
Estimates suggest more than 10 million dogs and millions of cats across affected countries — figures vary by source and region.

### Which countries does WARN fund for meat-trade work?
Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam within the 17-country partner network.

### Can I give monthly to stop the meat trade?
Yes — /donate/monthly with a note to support /appeals/dog-cat-meat, or email WARN to direct recurring gifts.

### What rabies risk does the trade pose?
Live transport and slaughter conditions spread disease. Seized animals need immediate rabies-risk veterinary assessment.
