Yes, I am a dog lover, so I wrote this post.
Some time ago in Yulin, China held the festival eating dog meat. It's called Yulin Dog Meat Festival, is an annual celebration held in Yulin, Guangxi, China, during the summer solstice in the which festival goers eat dog meat and Lychees. The festival spans about ten days during the which it is estimated that 10.000 to 15.000 dogs are consumed.
In my mind, I wondered who actually plays into monsters in this world. The phrase "A dog is human's best friend." already known and written everywhere. Why we have to eat our own best friend? I have a few dogs in my house as pets, I considered them all as my own kids.
I can not bear to think if they should feel the pain into food for humans. I heard, that they (Yulin citizens) intentionally tortured alive the dogs they will eat because they thought with pain and torment, the dogs will produces some kind of a hormone that makes the dogs meat taste better to eat and they also will deliberately torturing the dog which is to be redeemed for rescued by the volunteers, so these "criminals" can set a higher price for a dog that will be redeemed (please correct me if I'm wrong).
It was very cruel and I think the man who did it is completely lost conscience. Dogs that become traded on the Yulin market obtained by kidnapping lapdog other citizens, in other words they were taken forcibly. There was also obtained from stray dogs that are wandering around.
I know humans are creatures that eat just about anything. But should we take down our own best friend? Should we torture a friend who would give such extraordinary loyalty to us? All kinds of animals would not bother us if we do not hurt and disturbing nature of their lives.
Dogs and cats are also living beings who have feelings of sadness and pain. Why did the slaughtering should torment them? The butcher said that the dogs are equals with other common farm mammals we consume, such as cows and goats, why we should not eat the dog?
I don't know how the best way to explain this, but I am confident that the dog is not the same as a cow or a goat. They (the dogs) were born not to be a meal in our dinner plates. They exist in the world to teach us about loyalty, accompany our life, to feel the pleasure of playing and coexist with us. Even many in this world who train dogs to assist people with disabilities, as a guide the blind, police dogs and dogs for rehabilitation.
I'm sad because I can not do much to help directly to the dogs in China. I had already signed several international petition demanding to stop this cruel festival. I really hope the festival makes humans wasting sincerity and loyalty of a dog can be stopped forever.
In fact, I'm sure if in this world there really is a monster, monster will not eat their own best friends. So, who exactly is the monster?
