Chinese Torture and Eat Man's Best Friend
June 19, 2023
The Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (or Yulin Dog Meat Festival) is an annual festival held in Yulin, Guangxi, China, during the summer solstice in which festival goers eat dog meat and lychees. The festival began in 2009 and spans about ten days during which thousands of dogs are reportedly consumed. The festival has drawn criticism internationally. It is also becoming more well known in recent years.
"At the annual Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (or Yulin Dog Meat Festival) dogs, mostly strays and abducted pets, are forced into crammed wire cages for days without water or food, dragged from lorries and slammed around, beaten with sticks, blowtorched and boiled alive as entertainment for the crowds."

Please think of those poor dogs trapped in cages on their way to Yulin to be blowtorched and boiled alive. As somebody once said, evil thrives when good men do nothing. Imagine what it means to them to have people like us pray for them and do what we can to put an end to this horror.
Thank you for considering my article for publication. Those poor dogs will thank you from the bottom of their beautiful hearts. And please remember time is of the essence as the Yulin Lychee and Dog Meat Festival will kick off in a few days.
I put together an informative video featuring Ricky Gervais (2015) and a speaker at the Italian Senate from last year, as well as a few other videos, below. The videos contain no footage of torture, but interviews with activists and celebrities who have been trying to to put an end to this horror since news of the festival reached the West.
Communist China: Dogs tortured in the most gruesome ways imaginable at Yulin Festival, to kick off on June 21
The WHO and the WEF, among other instruments of the global elites, extol China as a model for the future in pandemic response, surveillance, cuisine and social behaviour, with Western establishment figures like Nicole Kidman promoting insect consumption and Bologna being the first European city to roll out a social credit app promoting “virtuous behavior” in line with the Chinese model.
Yet once again, China and the CCP fail to uphold Western values in the most shocking of ways: At the annual Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (or Yulin Dog Meat Festival) dogs, mostly strays and abducted pets, are forced into crammed wire cages for days without water or food, dragged from lorries and slammed around, beaten with sticks, blowtorched and boiled alive as entertainment for the crowds. The normalization of torture and the public celebration of animal cruelty leaves one speechless. The dogs die in excruciating pain, which street vendors justify on the grounds that torture and adrenalized blood make the meat more tender, as well as providing entertainment for festival goers.
Culinary considerations aside, the argument of respecting other people's cultures, so often invoked by dog meat traders in China, is as untenable as to call this barbaric practice a “tradition”. As Li Shigong (Beijing Review) points out: “Arguing in the name of local tradition is not a valid case. The festival took shape only recently in 2009, as part of a ploy on behalf of dog meat traders to promote their trade.”
Humane Society International (HSI) explains that torture starts long before the festival:
“The animals are crammed by the hundreds onto the backs of trucks, packed so tightly in cages that they are unable to move. […] Dogs are typically driven for days or weeks, often sick and injured, and many die from suffocation, dehydration or heatstroke long before they reach their destination.” The numbers are equally appalling: Data collected by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) speaks of at least ten million dogs being brutally killed in the slaughterhouses and backyards of China every year.
In Gandhi's words: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Can the West really envisage China as a model for the future in light of this painfully clear divergence of values?
There is an ongoing petition demanding the CCP to put an end to the Yulin Festival. Footage from Yulin Festival can be found on YouTube and social media. Viewer discretion is advised as the violence and cruelty of these images is deeply unsettling. In the next post you can watch three videos about Yulin Festival featuring Westerners like British comedian Ricky Gervais.

First Comment from Sandra-
The animals are crammed by the hundreds onto the backs of trucks, packed so tightly in cages that they are unable to move."
That's rich. Pigs, cows, chickens and sheep undergo the same treatment. In our climate, they endure freezing weather for many hours on the way to their place of execution. Some animals are trampled on by the other panicked animals, packed together like sardines in a tin. Some don't make it. Read up, if you wish, on the transporting of thousands of sheep on barges from Australia to the middle east so that those ugly assholes up there can have their precious "meat." And then there are the "downed cows." Everywhere.

The quote from Ghandi in this article reminded me of a saying by St. John of Kronstadt, a great Russian Orthodox saint of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in his classic, “My Life in Christ” (which can be found online for free, and which I heartily recommend to all who call themselves Christians):
“All men, as well as the angels of God, are the breath of God …. But all other creatures are also called breaths (“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord,” [Psalm 150:6, Septuagint numbering] because they also proceed from the Spirit of God, although they are not endued with reason and freedom. Therefore we must care for every creature, and neither abuse nor overwork it. Blessed is the man who is merciful to his beasts."
