Could you please sign this petition to stop the Yulin Festival which will take place in 3 days in China? It's free and it takes less than one minute to sign the petition. Thank you very much!!!

Here is the link for the petition: http://www.change.org/p/president-of-the...g-festival

We at "RAISE UR PAW" need the voices and paws of the world to be raised to help ban the YULIN DOG MEAT EATING FESTIVAL which is going to occur on June 21, 2015. Countless Canine Lives will be sacrificed in order to fulfill an inhumane tradition that has been permitted to occur for many years - and it is now time this horror is finally put to an end.

This brutal "Festival" involves what some call savouring the "delights" of dog meat hotpot, lynchees, and strong liquor -- which will increase the abduction of strays and pets and also increase the torturous & inhumane prisons of dog meat farms - places where man's best friends are raised for such purposes -- thousands of dogs will suffer, be butchered, beaten to death, skinned alive and eaten.

Time is ticking and the massive killing of dogs will soon take place, we must get our voices united and raised not just to save the lives but save the hope in humanity - to be part of a compassionate world where we all come together to stand up and speak out for all innocent life, not just the life of humanity. If we turn away and ignore the cries/pleas of these babies, then we truly have turned away from being human"kind".

RAISE UR PAW TODAY AND TAKE ACTION!

Thank you guys. I hope more people will sign the petition. This event has to be stopped.

I signed it. They now have over 3 million signatures.

I read a news story that the government backed down from associating itself with the event (so it has been called off), but that some people/restaurants, etc. will still continue to take part in the event. I don't know how accurate that is, and I know that it could just be hidden, but I hope it really has been called off. I can't imagine, if it was called off, what they would plan to do with all of those dogs.

Stories like this make me so sad. I even read that many of the dogs were stolen pets. I am happy to know that there are established groups out there taking a stand though, and that so many people are against it.
