It was a chilly November day when MaoMao, a beloved pet and precious
family member, was snatched away from her beloved owners by heartless dog
vendors. The very same day, this gentle creature was sold to a restaurant owner
for her meat.
MaoMao had given birth to a litter of puppies just 40 days before. A
proud and responsible mother, she was keen on returning to her babies as soon
as possible.
But none of this impressed the heartless restaurant worker, who
quickly went to work and inflicted tremendous suffering on this innocent
creature. As the photo above shows, this is what MaoMao had to go through until
her ultimate demise.
MaoMao had all of her four legs cut off while she was fully
conscious. No anaesthetic, no nothing, just pure and excruciating pain. After
that, the worker proceeded to skin her alive, before cooking MaoMao and serving
her as a delicacy in the restaurant.
Reports indicate that numerous passers-by saw MaoMao but nobody
intervened. Finally, a compassionate person stopped and offered the restaurant
worker money to save the poor soul, but the man turned down the kind offer.
It was with a fully broken heart when MaoMao’s owner learned what
had happened.
Since then, thousands of dog owners have gone through the same
nightmare. After all MaoMao went through, still nothing has changed in China.
Reports surfaced that during the Yulin festival many of the dogs
cooked had collars on them. Which means that somebody was waiting for them home;
instead, they ended up on somebody’s plate.
It is high time the inhumane treatment of dogs in China comes to an
end. Together we need to make a push to ban dog meat once and for all.
Show your support to this campaign and let Chinese authorities know
that we shall no longer condone such behavior towards man’s best friend. The
people of China have the right to own a pet dog – just like every citizen of a
civilized country can. Due to the zippy dog meat trade, this is almost
impossible in China at the moment.
