These are the disturbing scenes that can be viewed all across China nowadays. The main cause for this absolutely inhumane situation? The lack of welfare laws towards animals – an open invitation to abuse animals without ever being punished.
The above image was taken in Yulin, Guanxi province in souther China, home of the infamous dog eating festival, which sees over 10, 000 dogs put down for their meat in just a few days. The dog in the photo is tied to a tree and pounded repeteadly with a shovel and other bladed objects. According to local people, the more the dog suffers before he is cooked, the better the taste. Basically this is all done to increase the ‘exquisite’ taste of dog meat.
