The Institute of Community Sustainability (ICS) has urged an immediate ban on the slaughter and consumption of cats and dogs in Ghana. The group stated that these practices are a threat to public health.
The ICS also believes that eating cat and dog meat goes against societal values. They released a statement asking for action from authorities.
The call for a ban aims to protect both people and animals. The ICS highlighted the potential health dangers linked to such food practices.
They also noted concerns about animal welfare. The group is pushing for new rules to stop these activities across the country.
This initiative reflects a growing focus on food safety and animal rights. The ICS hopes to see a comprehensive ban put in place soon.
The institute aims to foster responsible community practices. This includes ensuring food safety and upholding community standards for animal treatment.
