The Institute of Community Sustainability (ICS) has asked for an immediate stop to the killing of cats and dogs for food. This request was made in Ghana today.
The group also wants new laws passed. These laws would make it illegal to trade, move, or sell cat and dog meat.
Eric Jerry Aidoo, who is the Executive Director of ICS, signed a statement about this issue.
The group believes these actions are important for community welfare. They aim to protect these animals.
No specific timeline for legislative action was provided. The call is for immediate steps to be taken.
