Buckets of boiling water are being slowly poured over the critically injured Husky by a cruel butcher. It appears the butcher’s already stabbed the dog in the chest with a long handled knife. The poor dog screams in agony each time boiling water hits his open chest wound and his already burned legs. This deliberate slow death is absolutely brutal!

In broad daylight the Husky dog is confined in a small cage on the back of a motorbike. The cage is so small he cannot even turn around. The deliberate and ignorant cruelty is almost unbearable to watch. This butcher has obviously killed dogs like this before and he should be removed from society. This atrocity is taking place in Xiangxiang, Hunan province, China. With no animal protection laws this butcher answers to no one.

Video: viewer discretion strongly advised. May be upsetting for some.

Once again we bring to your attention: China’s law removing dogs from the list of livestock for human consumption means nothing if its not implemented and upheld. It was a pacifier for foreign media and animal lovers, who were quick to congratulate China and celebrate a (false) end to the dog meat trade. Nothing is ever that simple in any dog eating country when it comes to ending the dog meat trade.

Fight Dog Meat will continue to bring you reports from dog and cat meat countries and the wonderful work their rescuers are doing despite no animal protection laws. Turning away or sitting quietly does not end the trade. We’ll keep exposing what is taking place to these animals. We’re helping local volunteers have a louder voice on a world platform. Ultimately it’s the voice of the country’s own people whom their government will eventually be forced to listen to, for positive change for animals.

Thank you for reading,

Due to Covid-19 flight cancellations Fight Dog Meat has a number of rescued meat dogs in hospital and in rehabilitation in Vietnam. Until international flights start up again we’re under great financial strain to maintain our rescued animals. FDM is still accepting critically injured meat dogs; if we don’t they will die! Many of our dogs have some of the worst injuries in the meat trade. Please consider helping us during this special time.
