Yulin is not only about dogs, but also about cats! Spread the message

For the past few days our ears have been subjected to the news about the slaughtering of dogs at a festival in Yulin. Notoriously known as the 'Dog meat festival' is a yearly tradition at this place in China where several thousands of dogs are killed for meat to celebrate June solstice. I recently came to know that it not only involves dogs but also cats!!!!!



I do not know the justification behind this tradition where the pets owned by people are either stolen or taken away as a custom and burnt or boiled alive. Imagine your pet dog or cat being taken away, boiled alive and sold as meat? Pity on such customs where the life of creatures have no value.





Thanks to all those who protested online which led to the cancellation of this incorrigible festival that was planned for this year. Thankfully we won't be having to see the cruelty this year.







Then what about these cats??? 

I read most of the sites to check if cat meat was banned along with dog meat, but could only see the caption 'Dog meat festival banned'.  I hope that cat meat were banned too. If not its injustice after seeing these pictures.The pet cats too are snatched and burnt or boiled alive. Can we call this a tradition? I doubt.













The underlying statement: Well if dogs and cats are not meant to be killed and we protested to ban the process, what about the cows being killed for meat and the chicken we have? Shouldn't we think about it? Just for a thought.
