China: Dogs boiled alive and prepared as stew. Stop the dog meat trade now!

This is China in 2016, the country that aims to become the world’s biggest economy and a super power. What type of leadership can China provide if such terrible images are all too common in the country?

I am asking every compassionate soul out there to take a firm stand against all the inhumane treatment of man’s best friend in China and help get the vicious dog meat banned and animal welfare laws approved.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

Everything about how China approaches the issue of animal rights is wrong. First of all, even authorities themselves have been spotted in numerous occasions hitting dogs with shovels under various reasons - all of them truly absurd (for instance, the dog is believed to have rabies or it belonged to a homeless person). In one of the most extreme cases I have encountered, pet owners from an entire village were informed that they would have to get rid of their beloved animals, or public servants will terminate them.

Then there is the dog meat trade and the infamous Yulin dog meat festival – where over 10, 000 dogs are cooked in just three days. But dog meat is prepared all year round, in every corner of the country. To meet increasing demand, traders collect all the street dogs they can get their hands on and even steal people’s pets; dogs are later ripped apart and either barbecued, skewered or prepared as stew. Dog meat can also be marinated in chili and coriander, for an extra special flavor (as you can see, the imagination of these people knows no limits).

Please help end this despicable trade for good! We need as many signatures as we can collect to put pressure on the Chinese government to adopt the country's first animal rights law and consequently end the vicious dog meat trade for good.

Your signature could make a huge difference for these dogs, so please don’t hesitate to show your support. Many thanks for your compassion and love.
