Animal rights activists documented the beginning of the Yulin Lychee and Dog Meat Festival on the summer solstice Sunday – a gory sight in which the Chinese city is taken over by rows of tables featuring the open-air slaughter and butchering of thousands of animals.
Yulin, a city located in far-south Guangxi province, has hosted an annual event beginning on the first day of summer since 2010, meant to boost local sales of dog meat. In the past decade, the horrific spectacle has attracted international attention, particularly from celebrities tied to animal rights causes, prompting the Chinese Communist Party to outlaw the raising of dogs as livestock in 2020 and reduce publicity for the event.
The more low-key approach has worked to keep the festival out of the spotlight in mainstream Western media, but has not eliminated the consumption of dog and cat meat at the event. Similarly, the banning of dogs as a livestock animal coincides with changing attitudes in China about dogs, now viewed more commonly as beloved pets than potential meals, but has resulted in an increase in reports of dog slaughterers abducting family pets for consumption.
Unlike in past years, when Chinese regime outlets have acknowledged and even defended the existence of the festival, Breitbart News could not find at press time any coverage of the Yulin event in the pages of English-language Chinese state newspapers such as the Global Times and China Daily.

These heathens are going to eat Lassie!
In Vietnam, Nigeria, Indonesia, and South Korea they also eat dog meat .
Not in North Korea.
Why?
No DOGS LEFT!.............
To quote Col. Benjamin Martin, “dog is a very fine meal.”
PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals
In Mexico, if you see lots of dogs roaming the street, the economy is good. If you see very few, well, not so much.
Cow, pig, goat, dog, chicken, turkey. What is the difference, besides texture and taste?
Cows: Hey! This happens to us every day!
Buzzards don’t even eat dogs.
