Renowned animal rights activist and creator of My Dog & I group, Jackie Idimogu, has slammed Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci for her cruelty to dogs.
She made her feelings known in a video message shared on her social media page, where she alleged the Celebrity chef is not exposed.
Hilda, who in May, attempted a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, recently visited her home state of Akwa Ibom with influencer, Enioluwa Adeoluwa.
In a now-viral video that made the rounds after her visit, she and her friend were captured sitting at a table where dog meat was served.
Hilda later admitted that she eats dog meat and persuaded Enioluwa to try it but he declined.

Reacting to the video, Idimogu faulted Hilda for engaging in an archaic practice such as eating dog meat.
He also wondered why she would continue with the act even after members of her group and their dogs supported her during her cookathon.
Idimogu said, “Members of My Dog & I group wore their shirts to go and support Hilda, dogs were present at the cookathon to support Hilda. I know that there were about two or three dogs because when my group members went there they made sure to take pictures and videos with every dog there.
“Now, imagine my surprise this evening, scrolling through Instagram and then I see on a news blog that this same Hilda posted that she is eating a dog.”
She said she was initially skeptical of supporting Hilda during her cookathon when she heard she was from Akwa Ibom but decided to give her the benefit of doubt.
She added, “Hilda in her infinite mercy and wisdom, thought that the best thing for her to do after the world celebrated Nigeria through her relentlessness. And now that the torchlight of the world is on Nigeria through you, you decide that what you want to show the world is that Nigerians are dog eaters? No, no. I’m making this video to refute the fact that Nigerians are not dog eaters.”
