Every year, thousands of dogs are being eaten, and slaughtered at the Yulin Dog meat festival, many stolen pets, or poor animals found on the street. Both dogs, and cats are crammed into tiny cages, then are taken out to be killed. This festival highlights just how cruel people can be to animals. 

According to an article on Independent.co.uk, animals are being blowtorched alive. just for this festival. These people obviously do not care about animal welfare, and they need to stop it right now.

According to hsi.org "Dog and cat traders snatch animals from the streets, steal pets from backyards or buy them from owners. They are crammed together on the back of trucks and driven for days—sick, hungry, thirsty, injured and afraid—then beaten to death or hanged in slaughterhouses or markets. In South Korea, dogs are bred in barren cages, without proper food, water or protection from the elements." and

"In South Korea, dogs are killed by electrocution; elsewhere, they are usually bludgeoned, hanged or more rarely, boiled alive.

Dogs and cats crammed onto trucks endure dehydration, starvation, exposure to extreme cold and heat, broken limbs, shock and disease.

Across Asia, there is increasingly vocal local opposition to this trade due to cruelty, criminality and human health concerns.

Dog meat is mainly, but not exclusively, eaten by older, male consumers under the misapprehension of health benefits.

The Yulin festival in China is a dog-meat focused event. More dog meat is consumed during Bok Nal than during other times of year in South Korea."
