Hundreds of dogs have been rescued from a truck in China that was taking them to be slaughtered at the highly controversial Yulin dog meat “festival”.
Activists said the “truck from hell” was carrying 386 dogs in crampt conditions when it was spotted in Shaanxi city on Sunday and pulled over with the help of the police. Shaanxi is about 800km away from the city of Yulin, where the so-called “festival” of dog meat takes place every year despite efforts to ban it.
Video and photos taken by the activists and released to global animal protection group Humane Society International (HSI) show the moment the truck was intercepted, with distressing scenes of dogs crammed into small wire cages in the sweltering heat.
The truck had a Yulin number plate and upon its interception the driver failed to prove that he had acquired and was transporting the dogs legally, the organisation said in a release.
Activists say the dogs were all distressed and had visible signs of disease and injuries. They were a mixture of breeds and some still had collars on, indicating they could have been stolen pets.
“It was horrifying to see so many dogs in such an appalling state, it was like a truck from hell for these poor animals,” Lin Xiong, one of the activists at the scene, told the Humane Society International, an animal rights organisation that supports the care of dogs rescued from China’s meat trade.

No ... words.
If the truck were full of HUMAN FETUSES, not so much.
Tastes like chicken?
I’ll stick with the house special lo mein.
The fact that they have different meat choices is not the problem. It’s slavery, human trafficking, organ harvesting, child labor, genocide…stuff like that.
here’s a few:
Chinese.....disgusting.....pigs
obungholes has tasted them!
Hot dogs? Pass the relish and mustard.
I have the same problem that I did with the conclusion of 101 Dalmatians. Who’s going to walk them?
oh- you prefer cats instead
I’m surprised that this hasn’t become part of California cuisine yet. Changing demographics and all. Diversity Is Our Strength. Or not.
obama was at the festival ?
One of the most horrendous things is they torture the animals with blow torches before killing them because they think the torture releases enzymes into the dogs flesh making it more tender.
You misspelled “wok.”
Probably taken from quarantined Covid patients.
what do you get when you spell dog backwards...
