Dear Representatives of the Government of China,
China’s rich cultural heritage and impressive economic advancements are globally recognized. Your nation’s contributions to global progress are highly valued.
As a global citizen, I am writing to express my sincere concern regarding the treatment of companion animals, specifically dogs and cats, in certain areas of China, including the Yulin festival, and more broadly, the dog and cat meat trade. While acknowledging the diversity of cultural practices, the reports and visual documentation of animal suffering associated with these activities have raised significant ethical concerns.
The welfare of animals is a complex issue, and perspectives may differ. However, many individuals worldwide believe that fundamental principles of compassion and humane treatment should extend to all sentient beings. The reported practices, including alleged instances of animal abuse and torture, are deeply distressing.
I understand that China has made significant strides in various areas of social progress. I believe that addressing animal welfare concerns, specifically by taking steps to end the dog and cat meat trade, would further enhance China’s image as a modern and responsible global leader.
Therefore, I respectfully urge the Chinese government to consider:
- Strengthening and enforcing existing animal protection laws to ensure the humane treatment of companion animals.
- Taking concrete steps towards the cessation of the dog and cat meat trade.
- Initiating public awareness campaigns to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.
These actions would not only address the concerns of many international observers but also reflect the growing awareness of animal welfare within Chinese society itself.
I hope that through constructive dialogue and collaboration, we can work together to promote a more compassionate and ethical approach to animal welfare, and ultimately bring an end to the dog and cat meat trade.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Cui Tiankai

Please stop this utterly detestable practice, it is surely just sadistic cruelty that cannot be excused or defended as a need for starving people. Even if this were the case ANY animal has a right to good care and descent treatmeant while alive and a quick, humane death, but these dear animals are suffering beyond comprehension and being killed unjustifiably. Please act now to end this appalling, barbaric travesty.
I agree there is no excuse for barbaric cruelty towards any animals and its evil to treat dogs and cats or any animals to torture them to death,your country could do better to show the world you care,but its only individuals in your country that do care,the people mostly do not want this,but the ones who could enforce and stop it lets it go on illegally,please stop this once and for all,let the animals you eat live a better life while they are alive and a quick death without suffering dogs and cats especially are family pets like a lot of chickens and pigs all animals feel terrible pain just like us,they should not have to suffer for your food.In fact if people went vegan or vegetarian it would save countless suffering for all animals.I hate the fact as well when even the fish I saw a couple of years ago was cooked in a way while it was still alive,then while it was still alive and must of been terrible pain someone was eating it while it was alive,why do people like you want something to suffer,do you get kicks out of animals suffering in torment,I remember seeing a website of in the early twentieth century how if a Chinese person was caught stealing they would flail him alive,in other words skin him while he is tied to a post while he was alive,how barbaric are people who want others to suffer.
5 stars! Congratulations from Brasil!
I want to stop killing cats and dogs
STOP NOW BRUTALLITY, CRUEL, TORTURE SWEET ANIMALS
Stop Yulin dog meat festival!
Bad Karma to those who promote the Yulin dog festival. Dogs are more compassionate and have feelings. They are mankinds best friend and loyal to their madters
Please stop it now
Arrêter de masacrer no animaux.
Stop this madness! It has to stop now, this animal cruelty!!
Why??? Is this really what you call a festival? Do you really get pleasure out of beating small animals to death? The savage mindlessness is pure evil. I understand why china is hated. It’s an unfeeling inhuman place. For God’s sake stop this hellish activity. You are the spawn of the devil and will return there. I’m so glad I was not born in this loveless place.
SHOCKING, bestiality, cruelty!!! STOP the torture and murder dogs and cats!!! NOT FOOD!!!
How can a human being torture and kill innocent animals and then a Festival from hell. Where do these Souls come from? I have signed hundreds of Anti’Yulin Meat Festival Petitions over many years and always share. There are pictures burned in my mind straight out of hell. We don”t eat meat, period
. Fish, yes..
Toturing dogs that are living creatures with feelings are barbaric sicking acts of cruelity to a despicible level in a world evolving.. if china and asia wish to trade with the western world they should become the sopisicated nations that they appear to be, in the world of technology.
How can such a fast developing continent still practice such cruel astrocities.. and be so igorant and backward when it comes to living creatures with real feelings.. It makes me sick to my stomach that this backward practices still take place..
Use the trading power of America and England to stop this EVER happening again. Use trade santioning power to stop this awful disgusing inhuman practice.
In an educated world it unbelieviable beyond reason that this is still happening
Stop this digusting treatment of Dogs.What is wrong with you .Truly sick people
