Appreciate the wise decision taken by the State&#8217;s Cabinet,&#8221; Nagaland&#8217;s Chief Secretary Temjen Toy tweeted on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The government shared no further details about how it planned to enforce the ban.<\/p>\n<p>Indian media said the ban came after a picture of dogs bound in sacks at a wet market was circulated widely on social media, provoking outrage.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisation (FIAPO) said it was &#8220;hit by shock and horror at recent images&#8221; of dogs in &#8220;terrifying conditions, tied up in sacks, waiting at a wet market, for their illegal slaughter, trade, and consumption as meat&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The FIAPO was among several animal rights organisations, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), to spearhead campaigns against the sale of dog meat in Nagaland.<\/p>\n<p>The Humane Society International (HSI), which has campaigned for years to end India&#8217;s dog-meat trade, welcomed the decision by Nagaland&#8217;s government.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cnext69e052dfedc88\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adbl.gov.np\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewalkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slogan-banner.jpeg?resize=640%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.cnext69e052dfedc88 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.cnext69e052dfedc88 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.cnext69e052dfedc88 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.cnext69e052dfedc88 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.cnext69e052dfedc88 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 6, 2020\/Nagaland- The Indian state of Nagaland has banned the import, trading and sale of dog meat, in a move celebrated by animal rights [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-7","category-14"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
