(FWA 2026/02/12)Recently a Vietnamese foreign worker was caught illegally selling dog meat in Taichung. Knives, scales and what appeared to be the carcasses of protected animals were found at the scene. Some of the dog meat contained tracker chips, confirming these were pets that went missing
Profits from the black-market dog-catching business are believed to be as high as NT$20 million
•Methods used to catch/kill these animals include the setting of traps and use of drugs which are clearly illegal. Anyone found selling or in possession of the carcass of a killed animal can be prosecuted
•Suspects often use their status as foreign nationals to evade investigation. Animal rights groups have urged the central government to amend the law as soon as possible, to remove loopholes and prevent such tragedies from reoccurring
Remember
It is the shared responsibility of society to protect all life. Refuse to engage in illegal transactions and stop the killing of innocent animals

非法捕殺動物零容忍
近期在臺中查獲越南籍移工非法販售狗肉，現場發現刀械磅秤及疑似保育類動物遺骸，部分狗肉帶有晶片，確認是民眾走失多時的愛犬
黑市捕狗交易獲利恐高達新臺幣2000萬元
•捕殺方式多以陷阱或餵藥，屬法律明確禁止的行為，販售與持有屠體都可移送法辦
•嫌犯常利用外國人身分逃避查辦，動保團體呼籲中央加速修法，補上漏洞才能避免悲劇重演
提醒您 : 守護每一條生命是社會共同責任
拒絕非法交易，讓動物不再無辜受害
