Dog meat festival: 'Culture shouldn't be an excuse for cruelty'

From Sunday Morning, 7:45 am on 17 June 2018

The annual lychee and dog meat festival in Yulin, China, has changed over the years in response to the outcry over eating dogmeat. At its height, the Yulin festival, which began in 2009, would see more than 10,000 dogs eaten over 10 days. And althought the numbers have diminished, the practice still goes on as part of the summer solstice celebrations. Jill Robinson is Animals Asia Founder and CEO.
