Chinese Dog Meat Festival Sees 10,000 Animals Slaughtered For Food (Photos)

 The yearly dog meat festival held in Yulin, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, sees 10,000 dogs and cats slaughtered in just a few days. To appease animal rights groups and pet-lovers across the globe, local
authorities had said the slaughter had been confined to the festival, celebrated in June each year.

However, a new report has found that the brutal trade is an all-year occurrence in Yulin, with some 300 dogs and cats butchered every day - with many bearing evidence of being stolen pets.
