Yulin Dog Meat Festival

"We are fighting to end the brutal practice in Asia of torturing dogs before slaughtering them for meat, out of the misguided belief that tortured dog meat tastes better or can provide health benefits. 

Due to a widely held belief that high adrenaline levels will produce tender meat and increase the supposed health benefits, dogs are sadistically made to experience extreme fear and suffering prior to death. They are tortured, dismembered, burned alive, electrocuted, crucified and nail gunned into walls, where they are kept alive to endure intolerable pain for sometimes up to 40 hours. Many of the toy breeds are boiled alive and then made into herbal supplements. 

Marc Ching has seen and video taped all of this firsthand, and even witnessed a dog strung up and burned alive with a blow torch right out in public at a local market where passersby were completely unfazed."


"The mission of the Animal Hope And Wellness Foundation is to shine a light on this very dark and barbaric practice. To expose the torture to the world in order to enact change and force the government to create laws to protect these precious animals from unfounded and cruel tradition." ~Marc Ching

I searched for a petition and although there are a number of them out there i think concentrating on one is the best way to get as much support as possible. Here is one on care2 that I think is the best: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/441/776/138/end-yulin-dog-meat-eating-festival/

Another petition, this one from Change. Org: https://www.change.org/p/mr-chen-wu-yulin-governor-please-shut-down-the-yulin-dog-meat-festival-in-guangxi-china

The Yulin Dog Festival begins in two days. Please sign and share the petitions, spread the word and let's end this barbaric, unnecessary and cruel practice once and for all.

Look out for a popular hashtag on Twitter/Instagram that will be used this year and that will help the movement more efficiently.
