Dog slaughterhouse demands money to save dogs

[Catherine]

This is so horrible.
A dog slaughterhouse in China demanded 170 pounds per dog from a group of activists. If they failed to produce the money the dogs would be killed. Sadly the money could not be raised. Clearly these dogs were people's pets. They didn't deserve to die like that.

This was a possible consequence of rescuing dogs by buying them. This slaughterhouse knew that the activists would want to rescue the dogs. They put a price on the dogs that the rescuers couldn't pay.
The slaughterhouse is using the situation to profit from people's desire to stop the killing. They were particularly cruel about it.

It is going to take a lot to end the dog meat trade in China.
