Arfin,
In the southern region of Guangxi, China, the Yulin Dog Meat Festival has become an infamous annual event.
This "festival," is actually just a dog meat trade where thousands of dogs are killed for their meat. Contrary to what the festival organizers might claim, most of the population in China doesn't even consume dog meat.
On top of that, some of the dogs slaughtered at Yulin are literally abducted from Chinese households by vendors who want extra meat.
We stand in solidarity with the Chinese people and animal protection groups that are demanding the Chinese government take action.
These animals are often transported over long distances, crammed into cages with little food or water, and arrive sick and traumatized. Upon arrival, they face brutal killings, including being beaten, strangled, or stabbed in full view of other dogs, further adding to their trauma. Sometimes, the dogs are even skinned and boiled alive. Images and stories from the festival are a thing of nightmares.
By increasing law enforcement, creating a public education campaign, and challenging dog meat trading legally, the state can crack down on this horrific annual event. Sign now if you agree!
