Yes there probably is some concern about public pressure. It seems Li Jun (Party Secretary) has health and safety motives prominent, but of course, that doesn't mean he hasn't other more compassionate reasons as well, and may be stressing Health and Safety in order to get a better hearing. Many people in China do keep dogs as companions.
I watched Li Jun's video, but don't understand Chinese, beyond "How ma?" so couldn't tell what he was saying. Let's hope some health regulations aren't altered which would still allow merchants to cook dogs but with stronger rules in favour of human safety.....
As far as public health is concerned, it must be a dreadful shambles with no regulation. Many 'customers' are probably eating badly diseased meat.
Apparently the dog-eating is only one part of the Yulin Festival. So the Festival could still go ahead minus the horrendous cruelty.....
I hope and pray the cruel part of this festival will become history as soon as possible.
