In many parts of the world, it is cruel to kill animals such as dogs unnecessarily let alone eat them.

That Hilda Baci’s dog meat eating video is an own goal tbh. Put yourself on the global stage and then set yourself up for global scale cancelling. Yikes????

Hilda Baci need to be very carefully. The dog meat video is a bad taste for her brand internationally.
There things she needs to avoid.
Dog is not seen as animals to kill and eat. It is a very sensitive video and it’s in her best interest to take it down.

Because of Guiness Record, Hilda Baci should not eat dog meat? Something as sweet as that. Especially when they roast it with gin, plenty pepper and scent leaf while you step it down with Guiness or Palm wine. Olorun ma gba eran aja lenu mi o ????

If HILDA BACI eating her local delicacy is going to cost her the Guiness Record based on Twitter NG analysis, so be it.
Ebua ke ata iwod ke owo.
No matter what happens, she is a winner and will stay SUCCESSFUL.

The flak Hilda Baci is catching is unnecessary and doesn't make sense to me.
If we all decide to stop eating animals people consider friends, then there will be no protein to consume.— Kayode (@K_Basharr) June 2, 2023

Does Hilda Baci has a management team? Does she even realize that she is an international brand now and she can’t be seen acting in some certain way?
That video might just be the single factor that tips the odds against her “internationally”
Common sense is not rocket science.
