In Manado, Indonesia – there is a bizarre meat market called TOMOHON, which famously sells dog, cat, snake, bat and all other kinds of animal meat. It’s absolutely disgusting. That being said, it does exist in this part of the world, and I felt the need to document it and show you how cruel it is.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this horrific meat market – let me know in the comments down below! I hope that the Indonesian government sees this video and puts a ban on selling these animals immediately!

If you think it’s wrong to kill dogs but okay to kill pigs/cows/chickens, that is a moral contradiction. What makes it okay to kill one of these species for food and not the other? If you think it’s okay to kill them all, at least there’s no contradiction. But I may question your morals…
Handling bats like that, nah I'll pass. All of it, hard pass.
Oh my gosh😢😢 Those dogs… you could see in their eyes that they knew what was going to happen to them. Oh Drew, I can just imagine your heart and soul being hurt over there. It should be outlawed. Dogs are the fourth smartest animal. They new. 😢😢😢
I love dogs and any animal in that matter, but cultural thing is cultural thing and u can't tell them otherwise
Also disagree with imposing your beliefs on their tradition.
Good documentary. I think it looks similar to a wet market in China.
I think this is the only video of yours I WON'T WATCH.
Start rescuing pigs, cows, chickens, fish, etc.
How could you show This? What is the purpose, IT'S SO DISTURBING, I couldn't even watch it, I am so upset
indonesian government already closed this market. but, it doesn't mean dog meat consumption is prohibited. indonesia is muslim country. so, dog meat only consumed by tiny non-muslim community.
I'm shocked I thought Indonesia don't do this it's a freaking Muslim country
I would never eat dogs cats bats rats none of that shit but i would eat tf out of a whole cow tho.. crazy how that works..
Drew I've seen you you eat many different types of meat the hypocrisy is unreal, if you didn't eat meat then fair play… just because people in the west only eat the same 5 animals does not mean that eating other animals is any more cruel. I would have thought better from someone who has travelled to every country in the world …
老天會懲罰它們~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You shouldn't publish this video :/
Poor firulais he knew he was about to become bbq 😢
Personally I think that as long as we eat other animals in the occidental culture, we shouldn't judge oriental culture if they eat different animals, of course a dog can be considered as more useful and intelligent animal than for exemple a cow, but ethically I think that if you want to delete the eating of dogs, you should also delete the eating of all the other animals.
i understand that it is what is normal or traditional for them, this was a tough one to watch for me but i will not judge another person's cultural differences.
There's no point of being so dramatic about this. Like you see the cute fluffy cat or your faithful dog inside the cage waiting to be slaughtered. Have some logic:
A person who is emotion-led vegetarian (belief that killing of animals is wrong) should technically have the same perspective on these dogs, cats, bats etc. as they generally have on cows, chickens, etc.
And a person who does eat meat, technically should not have this perspective that these animals look so sad inside the cage and they're going to be killed…. Why not go and say the same for cows and pigs for example?
There are two different arguments here: whether eating an animals is right or wrong; if right, then which animal to eat and which not—with vast reason and logic, not drama, lol!
As an Indonesian, I’ve heard stories that people in Sulawesi eat exotic meats, such as bat and monkey. Seeing it is equally disturbing
China/Vietnam always love dog meat,
For everyone going on about how Drew is supposedly forcing his views onto other cultures, he isn't. A recent Humane Society poll showed that over 87% of Asians are against the consumption of dog meat. Well over half want to see the practice banned completely. So, it's not about him forcing his perspective on other cultures since the vast majority of Asians are against the practice in their own countries. It's about a creature that gives so much to us by way of love…yes, more than chickens, cows, and all the rest…being treated so cruelly, for nothing more than utterly selfish, pigheaded human consumption. The same holds true with the consumption of cats. We aren't the only creatures on this planet that matter, and the very fact that we act like we are is what's destroying it. The practice needs to be banned!
Damn Indonesia is a muslim country why is this being sold here
There are jews community in north sulawesi, this is the only opportunity for you to meet Indonesia jews
You will eat a nice beef steak. Not in India. I eat horse. Most people are disgusted with this, but I have a North European background where this is normal. Bad comment, but different horses for different courses. Get over it as different cultures have different tastes.
Not bats bruh 😭 have we learned nothing as a species
this needs to stop .its just not right all of them need tu pay and i hope they suffer
Poor dog
Don't give ideas to sonny side
Kinda sad I always liked his open mind for other cultures but the way he tries to push his opinion with eating dogs is so controversial cause if they, what’s their culture, should stop eating dogs then you should stop eating cows or sheep
I am a fan of your videos, Drew, but I think if you are going to call out non Western countries that have these markets, then you should also go to France where they sell horse meat and try to boycott those vendors. When I lived in a certain Southeast Asian country, wild dogs were rampant and dangerous. Here in the US, when the deer population is too large, they need to be controlled via hunting. Whether discussing domesticated or wild animals, we need to take into consideration the reasons behind why cultures choose these actions rather than imposing our own culture's attitudes.
I agree that the conditions arent good but the western world does this to cows,pigs and chickens so I cant judge
Its reginal ethics i guess hard to admit but its true i guess as long as they arnt eating humans or torturing animals like for fun or something idk… im confused
I shared this because the Dogs broke my heart…yes this must stop 🛑😭
Horrible
It's their tradition. You should respect it. Not accept it but respect it.
The West has no moral high ground and should mind their own business.
This may seem disgusting to us but we all eat cows, pigs, goats, chicken, sheep and most people don't even know the conditions these animals live and how they get slaughtered…
Folks gotta eat. Back to caveman days you eat anything to survive even if you are stranded in the forest…your animal Instincts will kick in to survival mode. Meat is meat…some folks even participated in cannibalism back in the day. It is what it is.
I don’t eat any animals, so I just can’t watch this one. 🙁
This hurts to watch
I don't eat those exotic animals and dogs, but if they eat dogs or whatever you have no rights to comment on them, being white(American) doesn't mean you can comment on anyones culture, just respect, you're just a tourist, I'm tired of you all toxic asses
Nah, I'm usually a fan, but you reallly can't be condemning people for eating a certain animal if you eat any animal at all. It's super condescending and kind of racist. This is incredibly disappointing. If you can't stand an animal being eaten, then stop eating any animal.
