The Singapore Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) receives occasional complaints about people slaughtering dogs for human consumption in Singapore, but said it hasn’t been able to verify this actually occurs.  Singapore actor Andrew Seow filed a complaint with the AVA after receiving a message in October 2016 from a dog meat seller from Geylang, Singapore, who claimed “he was hunting dogs and cats in Taus (Singapore) and had killed eight dogs.”  The dog meat seller told Andrew Seow that he should try eating dog meat.  Andrew Seow sent a female friend to meet with the dog meat seller, who tried to sell her dog meat.  Andrew Seow then filed a complaint with the AVA and also reported the incident to police.  (Lam, 2017, AVA investigating suspected case of dog meat sale highlighted by actor Andrew Seow)
