Chinese dog eating festival starts in just 3 months! Take Action Now!

Early preparations are underway in the city of Yulin, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China for another edition of the infamous Linchee and Dog Meat Festival. This monstrosity starts on June 21^st, an annual tradition to mark the Summer Solstice, an important date in the Chinese calendar. This inhumane event is therefore scheduled to begin in just under three months! We must do everything in our power to ensure this cruel gathering does not take place and is permanently cancelled. We need all the support we can get, so please do not hesitate to take action.

Each year, over 10, 000 dogs are brought from all over the country to Yulin, specifically for this event - most of them stray animals or stolen pets. Many dogs do not survive the grueling and exhausting trip, as they are crammed in trucks, barely able to breathe. They are left without food and water for days and often end up with broken limbs. For the dogs that are still alive upon arrival, the nightmare has only just started to unfold: man’s best friend is crammed in cages and put on display in public markets or on the side of the road – this is done so customers can choose what dog they would like to eat, to ensure the freshness of the meat. After the dogs have been chosen by customers, they are either roasted or boiled alive.

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

The local government has promised year after year to take action against this inhumane event. However, nothing has been done. If action is not taken immediately, thousand of innocent dogs will be sacrificed in the name of culinary tradition come June.

Over the past few years, more and more activists have been on festival grounds, trying to buy as many dogs as possible from vendors and saving their lives. Unfortunately, without an intervention from the authorities, they will never be able to save all the dogs.

Please sign my petition and help stop the 2017 edition of the Yulin dog meat festival. Dogs are family, not food and we demand that their lives are spared.
