Mr. President - help protect these animals - living, breathing, feeling beings - from being brutally beaten and tortured, & eaten at this horrific, annual festival.
Culture ≠ cruelty
Intervention has prevented similar festivals in South Korea - speak OUT!
'Activists say about 10,000 dogs -- reportedly often transported and kept in inhumane conditions -- are killed during the festival every year; many are burned, electrocuted and skinned alive, according to reports.
"We have seen animals beaten just before being cooked," Du Yufeng, founder of Chinese animal rights group Boai Small Animal Protection Center, told the Agence France-Presse. "The more we inspect, the more cruelty we discover." '
