Stop Yulin! (Current Petitions)

[Catherine]

I don't think there are that many in favour of Yulin. It is a local event and not everyone locally takes part. It is also not an old tradition at all. If this festival is stopped or even diminished it could be the beginning of the end for the dog meat trade.  It is inherently cruel the way the dogs are treated and I don't think the world is comfortable with such behavior any more.

There are lots of other cruel situations, but we can only focus on one at a time. People can respond to one particularly cruel situation. If we tried a campaign that showed all the cruel situations in the world, people would be overwhelmed and would lose interest. Right now Yulin is the face of animal cruelty and people will respond to what they can see.

I just hope there in enough of a push to change things for the better.
