General News of Friday, 10 September 2021Source: classfmonline.comBuilsa South MP Clement Apaak has described as moot, the reason of animal cruelty cited by international animal rights activist Natasha Choolun for which she has petitioned President Nana Akufo-Addo to ban dog and cat meat in Ghana. “The brutal dog and cat meat trade is putting human health at risk from consumption of dogs and cats in form of Cholera, Rabies and other deadly diseases and now COVID-19”. “We urge you to ban the demonic dog and animal sacrifices and the barbaric dog and cat meat trade in Africa. Like many harmful and outdated practices in history, these barbaric animal sacrifices must also be abolished.”It said the government must also ban wildlife trade, dog racing and dogfighting and “implement enforceable laws to protect these animals from harm”. So, on what basis is anyone seeking to get the government to ban forms of meat”.
