Default Dog lovers where are you?

Does anyone else feel sad about the torture and cruel deaths of 10,000 dogs being beaten, burned, and boiled alive for food in China right now and all of this weekend?

Thoughts? Prayers? No hateful comments please.

It has been happening every year. It is part of their culture to cleanse their spirit as they believe. I for one have been protesting this cause and it has gone down 20% since last year. Sadly lives are still taken. It is also cats too.

They use their fur, and everything for their needs. They don't care who it hurts, or what it does. YouTube the videos or read the hashtags #StopYulin2015. You will see how brutal their deaths are.

People have been eating dogs for yearssss, especially in Asian and African countries. Stopping the festival will do nothing to stop them from still eating the meat. In fact, I just read that business is "booming" now thanks to the recent outrage, and that festival shop owners have just wised up on ways to still sell/market the meat, without using the word dog in their signs.

While I am an animal lover, who has owned three great dogs in the past, I don't see anything wrong in the consumption of dogs or cats. What I don't like is the torture of these animals, setting them ablaze and beating them with sticks is downright cruel. I wouldn't want that to happen to any livestock or poultry I consume, and I try my best to eat free range, organic..etc.

I understand that many Westerners cannot wrap their minds around the idea of anyone eating mans best friend for Sunday dinner, but it is a cheap, available source of meat. The streets of these countries are littered with strays, so much so that occasionally you'll see a few dogs strutting around the cities. I've lived in other ("third world") countries enough to know... There isn't this big SAVE THE PETS kind of industry when people can barely save themselves..

Is the bigger issue here the consumption, or the "inhumane" methods of preparing these animals for consumption?

With that being said, it's not up the to US to sanction who eats what in other countries while we cannot even keep a handle on the way we treat and prepare animals for human consumption. I'm sure everyone has seen the videos of chickens being kept in the same conditions as these dogs, crammed into a cage and dying over one another. Pigs and cows being gutted alive while hanging upside down as they bleed to death.

If anything, this topic raises a few important questions.. I totally get why a vegan or vegetarian person might be upset at the Yulin Festival, but I haven't a clue why anyone who eats meat would have their panties in a bunch. I don't appreciate this holier than thou sort of attitude many people have taken in approach to this situation. Most consumers have no idea where their mass produced meat comes from, anyway.

How does this differ from euthanizing or incinerating strays kept in shelters?

It is the WAY they are killing these animals. Torture isn't okay. I didn't know this happened until recently and when I find out it has been happening each year is truly upsetting. I'm not going to rant on because it's what I've been doing all day with this, but dogs and cats isn't okay by any means...not this way...NO!

Yes, I love all animal life. I protest things with them as well. This is just more hard to stop as it's in another country.

I have been to China a few times - and no I did not eat any dog nor did I eat any meat what so ever during my visits. I stuck to a pure veggie diet because I knew that often times restaurants will serve dog and say it is some other type of meat aka beef.

I am a dog / animal lover myself but unfortunately, there is no way to stop this from happening in China. China does what they want to do on many social, economic and socioeconomic fronts - there is virtually no way to stop it.

I noticed you said you wouldn't see Chinese guys in another thread please keep in mind that just because someone is Chinese does not mean that they eat or have eaten dog.

p.s. No I am not Chinese in case that crossed your mind...

Yes I said that and I said this who eat dog meat or have participated. And when I say Chinese I mean from China. Not born in the US.

The fact is, I'm trying to get awareness out there on this matter regardless of the price. It's more important to me that one day there might be a change.

I'm all for cultural tolerance but I'm a huge dog lover and if I saw someone doing those things to a dog I'd be enraged and want to tear them apart with my bare hands. I stopped looking at the pics and didn't even watch a video because my blood was starting to boil...

I'm a carnivore myself and have no problem with the realities of animals as a food source but there's killing for meat and there's being cruel to defenseless creatures.
