Join the hundreds of thousands of advocates who have taken action against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. Please sign and share our petition now to urge the Yulin authorities to intervene and end mass dog slaughter in the name of a festival. The T-shirts “ Friends or Food “ can be obtained at the website www.teeyoot.com/Delwin.

A new report from Humane Society International (HSI) found the slaughter continues all-year-round in Yulin, with an estimated 300 dogs being butchered each day. During the festival alone, it is estimated that 10,000 to 15,000 dogs are consumed. Pictures and video footage taken show dogs and cats crammed into tiny cages. Many of them had collars, indicating they are pets who had been stolen from families.

"To slaughter a dog, workers use iron tongs to pull the animal out by the neck. A metal or wooden stick is used to hit its head to stop it fighting. Then the worker cuts open the dog's throat to let out the blood. The dog is then thrown into a spinning de-hairing machine. The most brutal part of the slaughter is that killing is conducted in front of the terrified dogs who witness the entire process of a dog's brutal death, its disembowelment, cleaning and blowtorching." - Peter J.Li, Journalist

With the success of the previous awareness campaign with WWF Malaysia, Delwin Cheah is launching a new T-shirt designed by himself to fundraise for his “Friends or Food” campaign, in conjunction with the Yulin Dogmeat Festival. Part of the proceeds from the T-shirt sale will be donated to Humane Society International (HSI) China to save the dogs from the dining table and to raise awareness against Yulin Dogmeat Festival.

I have been spending my nights reviewing the footage of these animals and it remains impossible to look away. Many people have messaged me with their own stories of stolen pets which makes this fight feel even more urgent.

Seeing the momentum behind this movement brings me so much comfort because it proves people see these animals as family instead of food. My heart aches for the dogs still trapped in these cages but knowing so many people are fighting alongside me gives me the strength to keep pushing.

Even though i was not born in China, it's shameful to be a Chinese in this day and age when China is still behaving like a backward country in their mistreatment and turning a blind eye towards animals suffering. More often than not, the dogs and cats are stolen from their rightful owners, even with the use of poison. Most of them are all obtained from places unknown. Not only does it create a potential health risk for a myriad of reasons, it's also barbaric to torture and abuse them before slaughtering. And sellers were seen taunting animal lovers by abusing animals in their face and forcing them to part with their money to save the animal. How low can humanity get when we are openly abusing not just an animal but another fellow human being too by targeting their compassion?

This brutality must be stopped, No more dogs butchered in such an appalling way. No more racing greyhounds exported from other countries to end up suffering the same fate as others. Stop it now.

Be human. Enough of chicken goats cows and pigs for meat. Don't kill human best friends for your own hunger. It's not worth it.
