Thanks for the update. I noted this from the last article you cited:
"The Yulin Dog Meat Festival was only started in 2010 as a way to boost the area's dog meat trade. Prior to the festival, the city did not have a history of consuming dog."
Money seems to be the motive here - and to get plenty of that, the organisers are pushing the ridiculous superstitions that dog meat "wards off the heat" and "a dog which has suffered greatly is more tasty".
But I have a feeling the writing is on the wall for this cruel festival. Internal protests are increasing and eventually the Government there will have to impose a ban.
