Mama Dog Saved From Yulin Meat Festival Gives Birth to Puppies!

Every year, citizens from the United States and around the world, are shocked and

heartbroken to find out that the consumption of dog meat in Yulin, China, especially around the time of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival is still alive and well. Yes, you read that correctly, dog meat. Although in the U.S., we regard our dogs more as friends than pets, there are still a few parts in the world, where consumption of dog meat is sadly permissible.

Thankfully, there are several organizations in existence that are doing everything they can to put an end to this cruel practice. This year, Humane Society International (HSI), has had quite a bit of success in intervening, stopping trucks on their way to slaughterhouses, and rescuing dogs previously destined to become meat. Many of these dogs have been relocated to the U.S. and others have stayed in China with HSI’s Chinese partners, where they are slowly getting used to leading normal lives, interacting with other dogs outside of the fear-ridden slaughterhouses of China, and even having babies!
