[The Yulin dog meat festival is
facing an increasing backlash
from within China,
after years of international criticism.
About 10,000 dogs are likely to
slaughtered during this year’s event,
which got underway on Sunday
and marks the summer solstice
in the town in south-west China. ]

:( I'm not reading that, I'm glad it's frowned upon hopefully soon it will just be an outmoded tradition.

Just seen this on the news arista,I teared up at those dogs in cages,it's barbaric,wtf is up with people,pathetic bastards need boiling in oil.

Just totally gross.

They even had pups there Joey,kudos to the lady buying them and caring for them,I would happily do time to save one of those dogs.

I don't really get how people can be so judgemental just because it's dogs when we kill Sheep, pig, cows, chickens etc over this side of the world, it's a bit hypocritical tbf

None of y'all would give a **** if they were pigs or chickens. Hypocrites.

Well I'de give a **** but tbh it's not the fact they eat them it is how they kill them they are cruel ,simple as

What about the way Chickens are killed, their heads chopped off and they still running around for a few minutes after, also how they're kept in general, battery hens

Yeah even I have a few moral reservations when it comes to the egg industry, it's more horrific than any slaughterhouse. I mean at least they're just going to die anyway. Those chickens are effectively lifelong slaves. I only buy free-range eggs.

(though I suspect this is partly because free range eggs are better quality and taste better, also :joker:. Caged hen eggs are often pale and bland.)

Most of the dogs are strays or pets. They are shipped in on lorries in crates - the journey takes 2 days, they are not fed and watered. The dogs in general are riddled with disease.

There is little comparison to our regulated meat and poultry industry

That's disgusting too, cruelty happens everywhere because humans even in abbatoirs feel the need to be cruel,,but these dogs are not stunned they are thrown in to boiling water alive and also skinned alive as the idiots think the more pain the dog suffers the tenderer the meat,as I said barbaric and all in the name of a festival.They are stolen from people ,some are guard dogs ,some are strays,if someone stole my pet and did that,they'de be following them.

If a guard dog gets stolen, surely it was a really ineffective guard dog? Couldn't even guard itself! To the pot with you.

It's not just the middle class.It was explained that the vast Majority of China's population have always been opposed to dog eating.

The only time it got support officially was about 800 years ago.It is only in some parts of two south eastern cities

that border South Korea that dog eating ever took hold.

There have been big protests by all the classes against what's going on.

I promise I am no supporter of the Chinese Regime.Just setting the facts straight that's all

and informing some people who may not know that the Maj have always been against it.

I bet there will be some who will try and make out that dog eating is widespread and spread hatred against them.

In South Korea it's more widespread I think,yet we are not hearing anything about what is going on there

and there's not any reports of protest there.

The guard dogs were ones that were no longer needed,glad you can joke about it.

Sure


But In the West
Dogs are our mates

China is Out Of Step on this.


It needs to be a Cow Festival
or something.


TS
China also murder millions of Sharks
just for the Fin
then they chuck it half dead back in the water to die
all for the China Special Shark Fin Soup.

They have jobs


These Dogs are farmed

China Is Evil

I don't want ANY animal used in any festival entertainments arista,hate bull fighting too,the shark thing is disgusting too,I hate people sometimes.

Sure
but changing to a Cow
would just be Like USA then
thats all I mean

Why is it evil to farm dogs but not cows, sheep, pigs etc? They're all animals, just because we say it is? What if a Muslim country told us all we had to stop farming Pigs because they don't like people eating pig meat, would we do it just because they said so? :think:

But Muslim Nations do not tell us that.


Eating Dogs is Wrong
thats why its on Worldwide news.

Even if you see the logic of it all

Why is eating dogs more wrong than eating other animals though? Don't get me wrong, i have a dog and I love her because she's my pet but in general why is farming one animal evil but another is just fine?

Dogs are different they're domesticated animals, bred for service and companionship. If we had done that to cows, pigs or sheep we'd feel different but we haven't :shrug:

So we're basically saying that we decided that it's evil cos we like Dogs more. Ok then

Pigs can be pets too, but they're still killed and cut up for people to eat
