Dotted around the countryside in Guangxi province en route to Yulin is a series of well-concealed puppy and dog farms. Traders supply the desire to eat dogs all year round in this sprawling city.
In 2021 we uncovered so many atrocities that contradicted what the ‘party’ line is when they say there are no dog farms in China. Of course, they would have to say that because otherwise, they are breaching their own agricultural code, which confirms that dogs and cats should not be considered livestock.
For too long, Beijing abetted by the West speaks of Yulin as some backward city in a forgotten province with some cultural festival of feasting on dogs once a year and drinking Lychee wine to celebrate the summer solstice, but this just isn't the case.
Guangxi province is massacring the innocent and that includes puppies.
Mr Qu Dongyu is the UN director of food and agriculture. He is also the deputy director of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture. His department formally stated in relation to excluding dogs from the livestock list.
"With the progress in human civilisation and the attention and preferences of the public concerning the protection of animals, dogs have become 'specialised’ as companion animals. Internationally they are generally not considered as livestock, and it would be inappropriate for China to list them as livestock."
