Toronto Joins 10,000 Candles for Yulin Dogs and Cats

UNITE WITH CHINESE ACTIVISTS TO END THE YULIN DOG MEAT FESTIVAL Every year, 10,000 dogs and cats are brutally beat and murdered for meat for Yulin's dog meat festival. These dogs and cats are often stolen from families who love them and are slaughtered with their collars still on. But we have the power to stop this. Join us on the night of June 30th, as we support the Chinese activists leading the campaign against dog meat - marking the last day of the festival - to hold vigil for the innocent animals murderedin Yulin. Bring a candle and a photo of an animal you love. With 10,000 people demanding the end to this brutal violence, we could save 10,000 lives. A Chinese-led team of investigators who saved dogs from Yulin's dog meat festival will be video conferenced in at the vigil, along with the three dogs they rescued. These investigators have seen the human tyranny over animals in both China and the United states. They have noted that we are doing the same thing here to animals that they are doing there in China. Nearly all people in both China and in the US don't want to hurt animals, and both countries have activists risking their freedom to help make the world better for all animals. This team of investigators has also investigated farms in the USA and has found similar, if not worse, abuse. Like the dogs of Yulin, animals used for food in North America and Europe are confined, tortured and killed. Whether they are a dog, a pig or a rat, all animals deserve to be safe, happy and free. For those who cannot join in person, take a photo holding a candle with a photo of a dog/cat and post it to social media using the hashtag #YulinIsEverywhere.
