Jakarta bans cat and dog meat

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s capital Jakarta has banned the selling and consumption of dog, cat and bat meat to prevent rabies transmission, the city’s governor announced on Tuesday, in a win for animal rights advocates. “I have signed the regulation... which prohibits the sale of rabies-transmitting animals for food purposes,” Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said in a statement on social media, a month after promising to do so. The regulation, which Pramono said he signed on Monday, provides a six-month grace period before it is enforced, according to a document seen by AFP.
