The dog meat industry is gruesome. Dogs on these meat farms are subjected to unbelievable negligence and cruelty throughout their short lives. Dogs are left in barren wire cages without proper access to food or water. They are often found to be malnourished and in some cases, suffering from skin irritations, lesions, and other ailments as they are often left without proper veterinary care. Being relatively social animals and confined to cages in  solitary settings is cruel. Having no access to veterinary care or adequate nutrition is cruel. These poor dogs are left in horrendous condition until they are electrocuted or bludgeoned to death.

The dog meat industry is fizzling out throughout Asia. Participation in the consumption of dog meat has dropped drastically and dog meat farmers are converting to other farming methods with the help of International welfare organizations. Dog meat farms are shutting down rapidly with hundreds of innocent dogs being rescued and adopted out. Generally speaking, dog meat is on the way out thanks to International pressures and the welfare of dogs / cats being seen as more important across the globe. I predict a complete end to the dog meat industry within 10 years but I've always been someone who dreamt big.
