Dog meat patrons lament price hikes

The current economic hardship in the country has forced the price of dog meat, a delicacy in some parts of the Upper East Region, to increase, causing many patrons at Wiaga, in the Builsa North Municipality to complain.

Patrons of the meat in the community, which is noted for many dog meat joints spread across vantage areas, expressed concern about the price hike which has affected the quantity of the delicacy they usually bought and denied those who could not afford it.

Some travellers from other parts of the Region also patronise the meat anytime they find themselves at Wiaga said they are becoming malnourished as a result of the insufficient consumption of delicacy.
