一直以来中国都有吃狗肉的习惯，但在现代人的观点实在是个极致残忍的习俗，狗狗是我们最忠心的朋友，怎能有办法把他们当食物呢？也因动保意识的抬头，今年在中国的玉林荔枝狗肉节不如以往，这个长达10天的狗肉节主要是中国人以吃狗肉来欢庆，许多商店都会提供许多种类的狗狗来给客人挑选。
受到国内外的施压，大幅的影响这此的狗肉节，已经有许多市民因为社会上带来的道德观感，放弃参与这次的节庆，一位屠夫也向记者说：「今年生意特别差，几年前我一天可以卖超过30只狗肉，但现在我顶多卖5只。」
动保人士与爱狗人士都一同联手说服中国政府禁止再办狗肉节。在这个月有一个请愿已经连署1千1百万个人抵制狗肉节，包括好莱坞男星麦特戴蒙也在内。「动物希望及健康基金会」的创办人Marc Ching也来过中国拯救许多在屠宰场无助的狗狗们了，最近也有一群动保人士来到纽约的唐人街游行，因为那里是他们能到的了最接近中国的地方。
下面就是Marc Ching来到中国的屠宰场拯救狗狗的影片，可以看到上百只狗狗住在如此恶劣的环境，还可以听到狗狗凄厉的叫声。
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
