Stop all trade with China until their brutal animal trade is abolished.
It is estimated that the country is responsible for killing 10million dogs for human consumption each year, with traders selling canned meat, dog sausages, roasted legs and even dog penis snack packs.
Every June, in the south east city of Yulin, thousands of dogs are slaughtered, butchered, cooked and eaten for the ten-day Lychee and Dog Meat Festival, where some believe the fruit and meat combination will bring health through the long winter months.
Dogs are typically bludgeoned to death in front of each other, put into a de-hairing machine to remove fur, and then blowtorched for sale to markets.
How can we allow this to happen and still trade with China?
