We are coming up on the time for the Yulin dog and cat eating festival. A lot has happened since the festival last year.
The Chinese government has declared that dogs are not livestock.

This is important when it comes to stopping the consumption of Dog meat.
Would this be enough to stop a festival dedicated to eating dogs?
It seems there are animals ready to be slaughtered.

However this article seems hopeful that the festival will be stopped.

I am not sure from what I am reading if the festival is actually stopped or not.
As we approach the date we may learn more.
I will keep searching and post anything I find.
