It’s Time to End the Dog Meat Trade and Yulin Festival?

 With the global pandemic of COVID-19, governments can no longer keep silent when the links between animal trafficking and human health hazards are so clear. It’s high time to end the Dog Meat Trade Many activities in the dog meat trade contribute to the creation and spread of viruses that can harm both animals and humans. Southeast Asian nations now have a chance to stop a potential source of the next global pandemic by prohibiting the trade in dog meat before it’s too late.

What are some typical misunderstandings about dog meat?

Many people believe that dog meat is a cheap source of protein for disadvantaged populations, although it is usually more expensive than other meats and considered a delicacy in most countries that consume it. Korean Dog Meat Trade Rescues is now paying attention to this. In South Korea, there is a widespread belief that dogs grown for meat in dog meat farms are somehow different from the dogs who live with people as pets. Contrary to common misconception, the majority of people in China and South Korea do not consume dog meat, and many people, particularly the younger generations, dislike the thought of eating it.

How long has the trade been going on?

Dog meat consumption has been practiced in nations such as China for many generations, if not centuries. In contrast, trading in South Korea began only a century ago. What has changed in most nations where the trade exists is that it has shifted from a small-scale, “backyard” trade to a much bigger, commercial size. As a result, millions of animals are now victims of this heinous enterprise.

Do you know that the Yulin Dog Meat Festival is an annual event that takes place in Yulin, China during the summer solstice days? The Festival is not a conventional interest by any means; it was created in 2010 by dog traders who were looking for a way to improve dog meat sales and attract tourists. Yulin had no prior history of mass dog slaughter and consumption before the event began.

What impact does the festival have on China’s dogs?

Thousands of dogs are abducted from the streets or even snatched from their residences to meet the demand for this event, as well as the dog meat trade in China in general.
