Can this be true...?
I just found this article on the ITV news page, dated yesterday May 18 2017. (beware, there are upsetting images on this page)
Apparently there is to be a "temporary" ban on the sale of dog meat at the Yulin event this year, which is scheduled to come into force on June 15th.

This is not the end. It isn't that kind of breakthrough....yet. But to quote Andrea Gung, executive director of Duo Duo Animal Welfare Project: (the temporary ban) " was encouraging evidence of a political will inside China to clamp down on the trade.....Even if this is a temporary ban, we hope this will have a domino effect, leading to the collapse of the dog meat trade."
