A few days before the annual dog meat festival took place in the “capital” of Yulin, China, thousands of poor dogs and cats were put on display and “executed” in public in front of many people.
Right before the festival, a series of dog traders gathered in Yulin town, Guangxi autonomous region, China to prepare for the upcoming buying and selling needs.
Most of these “merchants” use motorbikes to transport goods. And each motorbike is often equipped with several cramped, rusty iron cages to cram dozens of dogs and cats into one place.
This can help traders easily choose suitable “prey” to slaughter and widely advertise to many different customers.
Poor dogs are crammed into a small cage at the Yulin dog meat festival.
In fact, a large number of dogs and cats being sold in the dog meat “capital” of Ngoc Lam are still wearing collars. This proves that they have been stolen by cruel people and then sold to slaughterhouses as worthless objects.
More heartbreakingly, the poor dogs and cats seemed to know their tragic fate in advance, so they just lay there and waited for their turn to die. Every few minutes, dozens of animals were dragged out of their cages and “executed” on the spot, in front of the fear of their fellow animals around them.
Every year, about 10,000 dogs and cats are slaughtered in China’s infamous dog meat festival.
According to statistics, every year, about 10 million dogs and cats are slaughtered for food across China. Yulin town alone has made its name on the “record” list when it contributes more than 300 dogs and cats to the culinary world every day.
Despite continuous negative reactions from international animal protectionists, the Yulin dog meat festival will still be held as usual on June 21.
A large number of dogs and cats in the festival were stolen from different families.
Coming to Ngoc Lam these days, people can easily see images of dogs and cats locked in cages waiting to die.
The little dog was trying to look at the world around him in utter despair.
Many dog traders are lining up next to cargo trucks waiting for customers to choose their “prey”.
The poor dog looked sad when he saw his fellow dog being killed right in front of him.
Although they were too sleepy while waiting for the official festival to take place, the dog and cat traders did not give up.
Many visitors leisurely stroll around the “capital” of dog meat to choose the most eye-catching “items”.
The poor dogs could only bow their heads in fear before the cold gazes of the “potential” customers.
Even the little kittens are sold without mercy.
In the cramped iron cage, each dog gradually passed away. And the one who remained was not happy at all knowing that he would be the next unfortunate character.
The number of dogs slaughtered in this festival includes stray dogs, ownerless dogs, and even pet dogs with full names and ages marked.
Most of the dogs “born to die” are crammed into old, dilapidated cages and transported by traders on rudimentary motorbikes.
Even children are taken by their parents to China’s most horrifying dog meat festival to visit and buy their favorite meat dishes.
Even adorable pet dogs like Poodles are sold as usual at the Yulin dog meat festival.
After being transported to Ngoc Lam, thousands of dogs and cats were slaughtered to serve the eating needs of diners from near and far.
The animals will be sold immediately after being cleaned and groomed or processed into various dishes.
