[quote:DeploraVision ™:MV80ODIzODIwXzg4MDIzMTU4XzU5MzU2NERD] [b]STOP The Dog & Cat Meat Trade And END The Yulin Festival Forever[/b] We the undersigned strongly and respectfully urge the Chinese Government to end the suffering of the thousands of dogs and cats that are brutally tortured and killed annually at the Yulin Festival, now known as The Yulin Solstice Festival. We also bring to your attention the defenceless animals that are killed yearly for the dog and cat meat trade. Some of the victims are raised in meat farms; others are vulnerable strays and household dogs, cats and other pets. These animals are abducted from their homes, porches, backyards, and some are taken while on walks with their families. We are horrified to witness the brutality to the animals that is a core part of the Yulin Festival and the meat industry. And we must bring to light the horrifying and torturous conditions that these poor defenceless animals endure until their brutal and senseless deaths. They are starved, beaten, tortured and then boiled alive. 10,000 - 15,000 dogs, many just puppies are tortured, butchered and consumed during the Yulin Festival. https://www.change.org/p/chinese-president-xi-jinping-and-mayor-of-yulin-mr-wei-tao-stop-the-yulin-festival-and-end-the-dog-and-cat-meat-trade?

Horror dog festival in China where thousands of dogs are killed and eaten

Thousands of dogs will be murdered and eaten over 10 days at the annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival in Guangxi. The festival goes on despite outcries from campaigners who say it is cruelty to animals and a public health risk. The Yulin festival first launched in 2010 where as many as 15,000 dogs were killed. Chinese and international pressure has seen this figure reduce to around 3,000 dogs. However, it is estimated that around 10 to 20 million dogs are slaughtered in China every year.
The Chinese tradition of eating dog meat dates back around 500 years and is believed to ward off the heat of the summer..
Last weekend, activists intercepted a dog truck packed with 68 dogs heading for Yulin’s slaughterhouses...
Many of the dogs were in poor physical health after travelling a long way with no food or water. They were crammed in so tightly that they were found panting and traumatised..
