What the petition asks
10,000 dogs and cats are killed every year as part of a festival in Yulin, China. The dogs, some of which are stolen from families, are abused and killed in the most horrific ways. Dogs are sentient beings which means they experience emotions like happiness, fear and pain, just like humans do.
The objective of this campaign is based on the old adage of 'money talks' - we need our government to step up and impose trade sanctions until China deals with this barbaric and inhumane festival once and for all.
