While eating dog meat has been banned in the Philippines since 1998, the Animal Kingdom Foundation alleges that as many as 200,000 dogs a year are slaughtered here for their meat.

As we leave the highway far behind, the villages grow visibly poorer; a rare stretch of paved road is announced by a sign bearing the President's face and the slogan GLORIA CARES. In many villages, government troops are dug in behind sandbags and razor wire. Three hours later, we transfer to trail bikes and roar along deserted tracks to a semi-derelict logging shack. Waiting there are five N.P.A. soldiers with M-16s, who guide us through the darkening jungle...
