So once again the barbaric summer solstice Yulin festival is upon us.
Yes – the animal welfare conscious Chinese still think appalling
brutality towards dogs, culminating in eating them, is fitting in the
21st century.
This glorious tradition, handed down through generations
of these barbarians, features such delights as gorging on dog meat with
lychee washed down with grain alcohol – in short an alcohol fuelled meat
eating frenzy.
Yulin festival – feeding the obscene dog meat trade
Conservative estimates claim that as many as 10,000 dogs were butchered for the Yulin festival in 2014.Most of these were specifically bred for this cruel fate, however many were lost or stolen pets – some still with their collars.
This disgusting feeding frenzy creates such a demand at the Yulin festival that dogs are shipped in from all parts of China and illegally imported across Chinese borders.
Yulin festival – cruel and barbaric
This joyous occasion incorporates such highlights as:- The slitting of live dogs throats on the street for the entertainment of consumers
- Dogs confined in tiny chicken cages without food or water
- Dogs dying of heat stroke and dehydration before they can be slaughtered
- Dogs under such stress that in desperation they turn on and even kill each other
Yulin festival – looks set to take place yet again
The animal welfare conscious Chinese government have instituted
half-hearted restrictions on the importation and sale of raw dog meat
that have had little effect (let’s face it- their hearts aren’t in it).
The Chinese administration, true to its appalling record on animal
welfare, has made absolutely no effort to stop the barbaric Yulin
festival – city government officials even denying any connection to
the event.
Consequently the Yulin festival looks set
to take place at summer solstice once again later this month.
Therefore
efforts need to be made to end the dog meat trade.
