While dogs are considered pets by many around the world, their meat is an addictive delicacy for certain groups, especially in Ghana and other parts of Africa. In Ghana, dog meat holds a notable place in the culinary landscape and is even recognised as a contributing factor to the country’s food inflation in some months.
The sellers’ plea for a dedicated market aims to stabilise their business amidst the economic challenges. By providing a specific area for dog meat sales, they hope to attract more customers and streamline their operations.
As the economic situation continues to impact various sectors, the dog meat sellers of Sunyani await the government’s response to their appeal, hoping for a solution that will restore their livelihoods and sustain the local culture surrounding this unique delicacy.
