Ban the celebration of Yulin in China
The Issue
To start the summer, China starts off with the dog-eating celebration that is known as Yulin. Many dogs in China are stripped from homes and off the streets. They are beaten, killed and sold in Chinese food stores for their meat.Animal-rights activists estimate that around 10,000 dogs are killed every year for the festival, where they're consumed along with lychees and grain alcohol. This is not right for many dogs that are contained in small cages and are beaten inhumanely. Help stop this festival and raise awareness for it to be banned in China!
Hear the moans of these poor creatures and save dog lives! Sign this petition and we can make a difference in China!
Facts about Yulin:
- In 2011, the festival went on for 10 days wherein more than 15,000 dogs were slaughtered and eaten. This is only an estimated figure and the numbers can be higher.
- Dogs are skinned alive, torn apart, smashed with hammers and cut with chainsaws and even boiled and set on fire, alive. A lot of people at the festival also engage in public torturing of these poor souls by dragging and running over them with cars.
- Not only strays but even pet dogs with their collars still on are stolen from all over the country. Close to 226,800 kilograms of dog meat is consumed every year. The city of Yulin has over 100 dog slaughter houses that butcher as many 2000 dogs a day during the festival.
- Dogs are crammed into small cages and sent on a grueling journey to Yulin. This journey alone is so traumatic and uncomfortable that thousands of dogs die due to dehydration or starvation on the way itself. There is no exact figure of how many dogs have been slaughtered and eaten since the beginning of this brutal festival.
- The Chinese believe eating dog meat stimulates internal heat and brings good luck and health!
- There’s no animal protection law in China. Looking at the unprecedented global outrage over the festival, Chinese’s authorities told the people of Yulin to stop using the word ‘Dog Meat’ and continue with the festival.
Calling all dog lovers: Dogs are crammed into small cages, go days without food and water, and are boiled alive in steaming water. Help end this cruel and inhumane treatment!
Dogs don't deserve it!
