Chinease Dog Meat Festival

[King Ming]

A "cruel" festival devoted to dog meat is going ahead in China despite protests by animal rights campaigners.

The annual celebration in the city of Yulin in the south of the country sees dogs being packed into cages before being killed, skinned and cooked for thousands of diners.

However, China's growing animal rights movement has responded with increasing determination.

Photographs from previous festivals, which show dogs being kept in cages and their meat being eaten, have sparked outrage on China's social networking websites.

Du Yefung, the founder of the Boai Small Animal Protection Centre, said: "We have seen animals beaten just before being cooked. The more we inspect, the more cruelty we discover."

Activists have staged a number of protests in Yulin since the beginning of June and had called on the local government to stop the event this Friday from going ahead.

But Ms Du said officials had previously explained they were unable to shut it down.

^^^^^^^^

c/s what is really special about a dog?

It's all about perspective. Cow, the US eats beef like nobody's buisness. In India, cows are sacred and they are not food, even though thousands of people are starving. We Americans can rationally say, "You are surrounded by food and you don't eat it."
The Chinese could point the finger at the US and say, "Look at all the dogs you have in America and you are complaining about child hunger problems. You are surrounded by food and you don't eat it."

Animal cruelty is wrong and they shouldn't be beaten for the sake of being beaten.

But in America, I think that we should start breeding snakes, lizards, alligators, deer, antelope, and elk for food. We are too reliant on chicken, fish, beef and pork.

Humans have a unique relationship with Canines that has formed out of evolution over the course of thousands of years. Its not the same as any other animal.
