一直以來中國都有吃狗肉的習慣，但在現代人的觀點實在是個極致殘忍的習俗，狗狗是我們最忠心的朋友，怎能有辦法把他們當食物呢？也因動保意識的抬頭，今年在中國的玉林荔枝狗肉節不如以往，這個長達10天的狗肉節主要是中國人以吃狗肉來歡慶，許多商店都會提供許多種類的狗狗來給客人挑選。
受到國內外的施壓，大幅的影響這此的狗肉節，已經有許多市民因為社會上帶來的道德觀感，放棄參與這次的節慶，一位屠夫也向記者說：「今年生意特別差，幾年前我一天可以賣超過30隻狗肉，但現在我頂多賣5隻。」
動保人士與愛狗人士都一同聯手說服中國政府禁止再辦狗肉節。在這個月有一個請願已經連署1千1百萬個人抵制狗肉節，包括好萊塢男星麥特戴蒙也在內。「動物希望及健康基金會」的創辦人Marc Ching也來過中國拯救許多在屠宰場無助的狗狗們了，最近也有一群動保人士來到紐約的唐人街遊行，因為那裡是他們能到的了最接近中國的地方。
下面就是Marc Ching來到中國的屠宰場拯救狗狗的影片，可以看到上百隻狗狗住在如此惡劣的環境，還可以聽到狗狗淒厲的叫聲。
This is live. This is now: The Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, and The Tree of Life – we just rescued over 1000 dogs from Yulin. A thousand breaths that would die here in the dark. A thousand lives that would bleed like blood left there upon ground. These dogs, they are brothers. They are sisters. They are fathers and mothers. They are children. They deserve a chance. All life deserves chance. The Compassion Project. If it is about one thing, it is about that as human beings, we were meant to love. We were meant to breathe life. We were meant to be – better then who we are. Speak out. Hold hands. Love the Earth. And rescue. Because in the end, even we need rescuing. (Thank you Tree Of Life for teaming with us to make this possible. Thank you XiaoFang and our Nanning team for your hard and enduring work. Thank you to our Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation volunteers. Real people that left their families – to stand here and sacrifice for the cause. Unreal.) #TheCompassionProject #animalhopeandwellness #SpeakTheTruth
