Dogs in China

South Korea is not the only place in Asia where dogs are routinely slaughtered. These photos were taken in Xichang Province in China where dogs are daily taken from breeding farms and have their throats cut and are bled to death in the manner seen below whilst other dogs look on.

Dogs and cats and the Global Fur Trade
A recent investigation has uncovered the trail used by people involved in the use of dogs and cats for the global fur market. Hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats in the Phillipines and Thailand are captured daily by roving trucks and then taken away to be hung while their fellow animals look on. They are hung through the top of the cage so as to not leave any marks on the fur or skin which are then shipped to places such as Japan for manufacture of drums and these are forwarded to the rest of Asia, Europe and the US.

If we do not address this issue one day will come when our children will watch dogs in the animation movies and pictures only. Each species is equally important to maintain ecological balance.
