one of the famous HK style roasted pork store at Tiong Bahru closing down. remember someone complaint in stomp that the price quite expensive there.

These are the shocking images of a gruesome food market where dogs are strangled by rope for food and customers can purchase whole flame-roasted animals. The Tomohon Traditional market in North Sulawesi, Indonesia sells whole monkeys, bats, cats, dogs, pigs, rats, sloths and even giant pythons laid out on tables with painful expressions still etched on their faces. The macabre food stalls were witnessed by Oman-based photographer and blogger, Raymond Walsh, 44, who said it was easier to witness the dead and mutilated animals than it was to see the living dogs in cages awaiting their fate. Mr Walsh said: 'It was typical of a lot of local markets in the developing world - lots of fruit, vegetables and fish. The only difference was the sheer number of dead animals for sale.' On his blog www.manonthelam.com, he describes the harrowing sight of dogs in cages with their dead counterparts lying on a table nearby. 'It was easier to stomach the entrails of monkeys, rats on a stick and decapitated pigs than it was to see those live dogs awaiting their fate,' he said. 'The other animals seem foreign but I have friends who have dogs.' Although the market's dead dogs may be difficult for westerners to look at, Mr Walsh points to the different cultures and attitudes towards the animals in South East Asia. 'Put simply, Westerners see dogs solely as pets. Indonesians see them as both pets and as sources of meat - it's just how we're raised,' he said. In the photographs, many of the animals are stiff and completely black with a haunting pained expressions on their faces. 'After they are killed the animals are roasted over a fire, so the fur burns off, the skin tightens and peels back, causing that 'screaming' look,' Mr Walsh explained. 'How they are killed depends on the animal. Cats, monkeys, and sloths are shot. Bats and rats have their heads clobbered against a tree or table. Pigs are stabbed with a sharp piece of wood or metal,' he added. 'Wild boars are killed as they as they are trapped. Snakes are slashed with a knife or have their heads cut off. Dogs are strangled with a rope,' Mr Walsh went on. When asked to describe the smell, Mr Walsh said: 'In a word, appalling. There's something about the air that changes when there's that much death around.' 'It hangs heavy and it made me queasy and light-headed at the same time... It's the first time I'd ever encountered anything like it,' he added.

Dog dead after groomer left it in car boot and told owner it was stolen The dog that was returned on the brink of death to STOMPer Katherine by a groomer was not stolen like the latter had told its owner. The pooch had been locked in the groomer's car boot and is now dead. In an earlier report yesterday (Jun 11), Katherine had left Brownie with dog groomer World of Pets, only to be told it had been stolen from his car just half an hour later. He said he left the dog by the car for just five to 10 minutes and returned to find that someone had taken the pooch. Female staff from World Of Pets telling Katherine that Brownie was seen being taken away A few hours later, Katherine spotted the groomer running across the street while carrying Brownie, and realised that the dog had been left in the rear compartment of the groomer's car and forgotten. Its internal organs were blocked and its belly was bloated. Brownie was taken to an animal hospital, where it died a few hours later despite efforts to save it. In an email to STOMP today (Jun 12), Katherine wrote: Hi, my dog has passed away. "I have attached a screenshot of a staff member from the groomer conveniently lying through her teeth that someone saw the dog being stolen when it was being locked in the boot of their car the whole time. "The first vet I brought my dog to said it was suffering from heat stroke as temperatures rose to as high as 40 degrees Celsius. "The bleeding was caused by a burst vessel. Its liver and kidneys stopped functioning too. "AVA is currently doing an official post-mortem." Only fools think that all animals groomers, pets owners and handlers are animals lovers.
