Did you know, that 10,000-15,000 dogs and cats are consumed for the Yulin festival? During the summer solstice the Yulin Festival is an annual celebration that last 10 days. It began in 2009. It is traditional in China, and according to forklore eating the meat during the summer months brings luck and good health. A true story was when a little girl's mom announced they were going shopping and when she returned her Doggie was no more. He had been strung by the legs in the communual yard, and was soon turned into stew, complete with herbs and hard-boiled eggs. The President can make a change by ending the Yulin Festival and stopping the barbaric act. I believe that this is important because dogs and cats deserve to live. They are man's best friend and provide unconditional love. Some people also build strong connect with them and some times dogs are with collars meaning that they were stolen. It's unfair that pet get stolen just to satisfy peoples hunger. Up to 40% of the dogs carry infectious diseases.
