This is to help save North!
Donations were made to save dogs from the Yulin Dog Meat Festival but now North needs your help. The other dogs in the cage tested positive for Distemper. They noticed North had Pneumonia but yesterday his symptoms of distemper started showing. He had an X-ray done and his lungs are full of fluid. He needs help. This poor soul saw his friends butchered in front of his face. Because of his poor living conditions he contracted pneumonia and now distemper. He deserves a chance to be someone’s forever. Help us save North so he can find his forever family. Please don’t let him be saved, just to die in a kennel.
* we named him North. We chose North after the North Star. The North Star, if followed should bring you home. That’s what we want to do for him.
What is Yulin?
The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is a 10 day event that runs from June 21st-June 30th in Yulin, Guangxi, China. Starting the eve of Summer Solstice, it is estimated that 10,000-15,000 dogs will be burned, blowtorched, beaten and boiled alive for human consumption.
This barbaric festival began in 2009. It is not an ancient Chinese tradition. The people who participate in this event believe that the adrenaline released through fear makes the meat more tender and heals them. These dogs are kept in small cages, jammed on top of each other causing many illnesses such as parvo and distemper. The meat they are eating is, in fact, very sick.
Many of the dogs killed have collars on because they have been stolen from their homes only to meet a most horrific fate.
Help us save their lives. Help us give them a new home. Let's show them what there is to live for. END YULIN!
