Hi 👋,
It's disgusting. I have received an email 📧 about the Yulin Dog 🐶 Meat and Lychee Festival. The dogs may be beaten, blowtorches, sliced open and/or cooked alive for their meat. These are dogs 🐶, like the ones you may have at home and love 💗 and care for. Because China 🇨🇳, unlike South Korea 🇰🇷, have no dog meat farms, many, if not all, of these dogs 🐶 could be abducted companion animals, taken off of the streets to be slaughtered barbarically.
Some Chinese may claim that Yulin is a "tradition", but, if I'm right, it actually only dates back a few years. Also, nothing, not even tradition, culture, religion or personal choice can justify committing or supporting deliberate, unnecessary violence towards sentient beings.
Here are some points to consider about banning the unnecessary slaughter of dogs for their meat in Yulin and the rest of China 🇨🇳 (and all other places):
* The disgusting unnecessary violence towards dogs would be banned.
* Dog lovers in China 🇨🇳 would no longer have as much reason to fear, worry or be anxious that their dogs 🐶 might be abducted and slaughtered brutally for their meat.
* Tourism to China 🇨🇳 may be increased.
* It could serve as inspiration for other countries to act against unnecessary violence to animals (if China 🇨🇳, the country with the worst animal cruelty in my mind, can do it, why can't other countries act against unnecessary violence to animals?)
* Whole foods, protein-rich, vegan diets (with some treats!) may be healthier than meat-heavy diets for some...
* Vegan diets are likely better for the environment. As China 🇨🇳 has such a pollution problem, it would be great if they could do something good for the environment and promote healthy vegan food, drink and lifestyles.
* It would be less distressing for tourists and Chinese people alike.
Also, the Festival could remain without the dog meat. Why not turn the whole festival vegan by just having it as the Yulin Lychee Festival, the Yulin Lychee, Vegetable and Noodle Festival or the Yulin Lychee, Stir-Fry and Tofu Festival or something?
You could also promote and implement programmes to reunite the dogs 🐕 with their people where doable and re-home the ones that can't be reunited with their people to the best homes possible.
The Yulin Dog Meat and Lychee Festival is due to start in just days. !!!!!!!!!!!WE HAVE TO STOP THOSE POOR DOGS FROM BEING SLAUGHTERED!!!!!!!!!!
