Thousands of cats and dogs have been killed, burned and skinned alive
at the annual Chinese Yulin festival – in spite of the government’s
pledges to put a stop to the practice regarded across the globe as
barbaric and outrageous.
The festival saw hundreds of meat traders come to the country’s
southern Guangxi province to celebrate the summer solstice.
Queues were stretching outside 300-seat eateries such as the
Yulin No. 1 Crispy Dog Meat restaurant, which sells the newly
slaughtered animals for $6 a kilogram, The Independent reported. Hundreds of people have come against this, about 500,000 people signed a petition to end the
festival, and hundreds of thousands of tweets were posted with
the #StopYulin2015 hashtag.
On Sunday, protesters blocked the streets, raided
slaughterhouses, and bought the animals set to be slaughtered. Graphic Photo Please Viewer Discretion.
One of the demonstrators, Peter Li from the Humane Society China
group, told The Telegraph that he witnessed that traders “were
blow-torching the carcasses to make them shiny and ready for
shipment to restaurants”.
"There were some dogs still alive in wire cages, but they
looked exhausted, emaciated and dirty,” he added.
Another protester, 65-year-old Chinese woman Yang Xiaoyun, paid
about $1100 to save 100 dogs.
Last year, the local authorities promised to prohibit the event
and the use of words “dog meat”.
Killing cats and dogs isn’t against the law in China, but the
majority of animals are strays, so the authorities have
repeatedly warned the population about potential health risks.

Absolutely totally outrageously cruel as hell. These people look like they are enjoying it. Maybe they should be tied up and blow torched. And when they beg for mercy just carry on.
