25 million dogs are sold, bought, even stolen – straight from their loving families – and are transported in cramped conditions without food or water. They are taken to be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten alive before an estimated 10,000-15,000 dogs are consumed. If this wasn’t proof of the devilish nature of the festival, there is an additional belief that these animals must intentionally be tortured on the streets on display as is creates fear and stress amongst other on looking animals. The adrenaline running through the blood apparently makes the meat more “tender and better tasting” according to beliefs.

The local government claims not to support the event but has no laws to help fight against it. SIGN the petition below to do your bit – just a click away – to urge them to STOP this atrocious “festival” in 2018!

There is no law banning the killing of dogs and cats in China. PETA Asia went undercover and investigated that “most of the world’s leather comes from China, where there are NO penalties for abusing animals killed for their skins.”

Dogs are grabbed one after the other, held with metal pinchers on their necks, bashed over their heads with poles, made to fall unconscious and writher in pain. While still catching their breath, their skins are ripped from their live bodies – to make leather gloves, belts, jacket collars amongst other accessories, and ironically, toys for pets. PETA found out that products made from dog leather are exported throughout the world to be sold to unsuspecting customers. They issue a gut wrenching warning urging people who buy leather that There is no easy way to tell whose skin you’re really in.
