activists and animal lovers worldwide

Breathe the sigh of relief that is barbaric festival were hundreds of animals in particular dogs were sold for human consumption

had finally been ended

In June that year the festival again went ahead

Let's finally put a stop to this

YouTube I know you're watching

So let's get this trending and spread the word even more for millennia China and many other Asian countries

have consumed dog as part of their diet and

Although the tradition is fading and more and more Chinese residents are opposed to the consumption of canine meat

There is one festival that is casting a dark cloud over the entire industry

It's called the Lychee and dog meat festival, and if you're an animal lover then this video will be difficult to watch

But don't lose hope because with your help

We can put a stop to this and impose a ban for 2018 to prevent the festival taking place

Before I can go further, It's important for me to say that this is not about stopping people from eating dogs

It's incredibly selfish to think

That because most of the will consider dogs to be pets that they somehow fall into a different category of animal

It's contradictory to be so against dog eating yet sit there and eat a beefsteak

you have no idea how that cow was raised what it was subjected to and how in humanely it may have been killed just

To end up on your plate, but this isn't about meat-eating

This is about the abuse and torture of dogs and cats

The Yulin festival takes things a step further as does the consumption of dog meat in China since it's entirely unregulated

It's the way in which the dogs are treated and the quantity of which is sold that is the problem although

It's hard to report exactly

What goes on during this festival since participants are not always welcoming to media attention.

We know the suffering of these helpless animals Begins days before the event

either taken from the streets as strays or pets or

Collected from filthy dog breeding facilities. The animals are forced into incredibly small metal cages about Dozen unloaded onto trucks

Depending on their distance from Yulin which is in southern China, They'll begin their journey in these disgusting conditions

Can you seriously imagine what those dogs must be experiencing?

On Arrival to Yulin the dogs and cats will be publicly displayed for people to purchase

Some of which still have collars on proof that they were once much-loved pets stolen from their owners

If this sounds like a rumor then in 2017 over 1300 dogs were rescued by an

organization who intercepted a truck transporting dogs to that year's festival

police confirmed, but the majority of the dogs were stolen and not allowed for consumption and

40% carried infectious diseases making them unsafe to eat

After being sold the dogs are then publicly slaughtered oftentimes in those inhumane ways

clubbed over the head before having their throats cut organs removed

skinned and either thrown into boiling water or grilled

There are even some stories, but the more terrified the dogs are then the more benefits their meat will bring to the consumer

For This reason it said dogs are killed in front of each other, skinned and boiled live

You're probably wondering why they do this or the main point of the festival which takes place

Over Approximately 10 days and during the summer solstice in June is for supposed ridiculous health benefits and traditions

It goes back to when poor Chinese people did not have enough food to weather the winter

So they chose a day as a special time that they could eat a large quantity of meat

To intake enough energy to confront winter

The Yulin festival is basically the opposite of this taking place just before summer

The dog meat is believed to warn off the heat felt through the hotter months as well as cure diseases and erase evil spirits

Despite there being zero medical or psychological evidence to support this

How anyone could think consuming the meat of a terrified and tortured animal which often times is diceased could worn off evil spirits?

Its Inconceivable, but there is a moment of hope the Chinese people are rapidly changing their views on dog meat

In recent years despite restrictions on how many and what breed of dog can be kept as a pet, attitudes have changed

Dog ownership has become very popular with one in every 10 Chinese citizen owning a dog

Reports also show that less than 5% of people in China are frequent dog eaters

Having said that there are still around 10 to 20 million dogs and cats killed for human consumption each year in China

Although recently China banned killing dogs in public giving us even more of a reason to rid the world of the Union festival

As It's not only barbaric, but now also illegal

This makes it even more believable, but the Chinese government still allow the Yulin festival to continue

They claim

They are powerless as it's not an official event but since the festival is blatantly flighting China's very clear laws on animal welfare

For human consumption you would think something could be done

The lack of action by authorities has led to activists going to the festival and trying to save dogs and cats by buying them themselves

But this can only save a small percentage and more action needs to be taken

I don't know what's happened, and how humans have got soft track with nature and the world

But do you seriously think this is how it's all meant to be?

Can you imagine where the dogs of this festival killed an attendant? That would be all over the news, but honestly

What's the difference? Maybe we have put ourselves at the top of the food chain?

But there is the cycle of life

And then there is brutally torturing and causing disgusting levels of torture to other animals who can't fight back and if they do

They get put down. Can you imagine a dog took human hostage and treated it the way these dogs are treated at Yulin?

We are all one and are here to serve some kind of purpose

I don't know what that purpose is and that's the beauty of life

but the way everything comes together is fascinating the plans that keep the

Ecosystem in check the animals who provide so much for humans and the planet

Studies are even showing that a cat's purr can heal human health issues and speed up recovery

Loving a cat and giving it a reason to be happy and purr does that. Killing it does not.

Yet, we are still killing each other and all our animal friends in unnecessary quantities and practices. You and me both are

Pretty angry right now, so I'm going to end it here.

Please support this cause and put an end to everything I've talked about in this video.
