China:~Help to end the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.

[Hand In Hand With Asia]

The Yulin Dog Meat Festival. The sentence that brings anger and upset to us all. Next month on the 21st of June the cruelty will start again. Thousands of dogs will be tortured to death, destined for someone's plate. The cries, whimpers, screams and smell made our Chinese activist Du Yufeng and her volunteers cry with helplessness when they protested at the festival last year and previous years. Chinese activists and ordinary animal lovers have been taking to the social websites urging people to help them. Now, Chinese celebrities have jumped on board to lend their famous voices to the cause.
Yang Mi, actress & singer posted on her microblog account:-

" The loyalty of dogs to man exceeds my imagination. I treat dogs as friends, I don’t eat dog meat, and I oppose the use of dog meat as food. Doggies are kind-hearted, don’t eat them!! As a result, I oppose 2014 06.21 Guangxi province Yulin city’s Summer Solstice Lychee Dog Meat Festival! I call for an end to any dog meat festival! A single person’s strength is little so we need everyone’s approval and support! Regardless of whether or not you love dogs, I don’t ask that you click upvote, I only ask that you forward/reshare this."

Her quote was one of the top posts of the day on leading Chinese social network Sina Weibo.

One day this horror will end but in the meantime we must stand by our Chinese brothers & sisters who are fighting so hard to end the dog (& cat meat trade).

Thank you for your support.
