Program launched in Indonesia to help end the dog meat trade by finding traders alternative livelihoods

KUPANG, Indonesia, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A dog slaughterhouse and a dog meat restaurant in Indonesia's Nusa Tenggara Timur province, which between them slaughtered or served up dogs for more than 45 years, have closed for good as part of an initiative to end the dog meat trade in the country.

Ten dogs found alive at the slaughterhouse were rescued. Following quarantine they will be available for local adoption.

Humane World for Animals and Jakarta Animal Aid Network launched their Models for Change program in NTT province, a dog meat and rabies hotspot. Thousands of dogs annually are stolen, trafficked or sold into the trade. As well as being cruel, this mass movement of dogs helps spread deadly rabies. Models for Change directly contributes to the government's goal of making NTT rabies-free by 2030.

Julie Sanders, Humane World for Animals' campaign director, said: "Every business that shuts down as part of Models for Change represents a tangible step toward eliminating the cruel dog meat trade, safeguarding animal welfare and protecting communities from the risk of rabies."

Slaughterhouse owner Mr. Petrus Boly, who will open a convenience store, said: "When I think about the thousands of dogs I killed in the last 15 years, it makes me sad. I'm very happy to be moving out of the trade. Dog slaughter is dangerous due to the risk of rabies so this opportunity came at the right time in my life."

Karin Franken, JANN director, said: "These closures demonstrate that if financial and business support is provided, people are willing and keen to move out of the cruel and dangerous dog meat trade."

Portfolio spans high-performance enterprise computing and edge AI, supporting deployment in customers' own IT environments.

TAIPEI, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Senao Networks Inc. today announced the launch of its new x86 enterprise server portfolio, featured on the company's Senao Computing website at www.senaocomputing.com.

The portfolio, which includes the SR810, SR710, SR610, SE210, and SE110, is designed to support a broad range of enterprise computing and AI workloads, including generative AI, AI inference, model fine-tuning, data analytics, visualization, and intelligent edge computing. NVIDIA RTX GPU support is available in selected configurations.

Bringing AI Closer to Enterprise Data

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, organizations increasingly need computing infrastructure that can address different workload requirements while maintaining greater control over sensitive corporate data.

Senao Networks' scalable x86 platforms allow enterprises to deploy computing resources according to their workload, performance, and deployment requirements.

Mainstream Enterprise Compute – SR610

Optimized for enterprise AI inference, data analytics, virtualization, and general-purpose enterprise computing applications.

Edge Intelligence – SE210 & SE110

Compact and efficient platforms designed for localized AI inference, intelligent edge applications, real-time processing, and deployments closer to where enterprise data is generated.
