In recent years, thanks largely to the efforts of HSI and our partner groups, this event has become gradually more muted and small-scale. In the face of worldwide condemnation, officials have cracked down on public displays of slaughter and limited advertisement of dog meat by restaurants. But the killing still goes on in the backstreets and out-of-town slaughterhouses under the cover of darkness. For the past several years HSI has been a leading global voice to see an end to the suffering of animals in China's year-round and country-wide dog meat trade, and together with our wonderful Chinese partner groups we have been able to assist with rescues of thousands of dogs from the brutal dog meat trade from across China, including at the Yulin festival. (Quoted from HSI website)You can learn more about their work and how to help at: https://www.hsi.org/news-media/stop-dog-meat-trade/
