A rapidly growing number of Chinese people and Asian animal rights organizations stand united in opposition to the horrific and torturous Yulin Dog Meat Festival. In fact, 70% of people in China have never even eaten dog meat. On top of that, a rising number of people in China are now pet owners, and some of the dogs slaughtered at Yulin are literally abducted from households by vendors who want extra meat. We stand in solidarity with the 80+ Chinese animal protection groups that are demanding the Chinese government take action!

The slaughtering is gruesome enough, but the details of the animals' treatment before their deaths are even worse. Many vendors believe that adrenalin makes the meat that they are preparing taste better, so some of the dogs killed are literally tortured and beaten to raise their adrenaline before they are killed. Often, the dogs are then skinned and boiled alive. Images and stories from the festival are a thing of nightmares -- and the Chinese government must take action.
The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is a celebration of the kidnapping, torture, and brutal slaying of hundreds of thousands of dogs, and it is time the Chinese government stand up to the dog trade industry. By increasing law enforcement, creating a public education campaign, and challenging dog meat trading legally, the state can reduce some of the suffering of this horrific annual event.
