Stop dog slaughter in China

[Catherine]

I was just reading about this. It is horrible to think of the numbers of dogs that they plan to kill. I understand that many are stolen pets.

I hope the protests and petitions can have an effect.

Why is it whenever we hear about a festival it always seems to involve some horrible loss of animal life. How is that a festival?

This is a link to Humane society International from the 2013 festival. A few dogs were rescued.

This fight against the festival has been going on for a few years now.
This is a 2015 petition.

It sounds like there are people working hard to save as many dogs as they can by intercepting the trucks. There is a lot of work being done to stop the festival.

Some day I hope we will look back and wonder how such things ever took place. For now there is much work to do to stop them.
