The barbaric festival is a tradition where thousands of dogs are packed in cages with no food and water, and sent to long distance journey to Yulin. And after they are butchered, people consume their meat on the streets or home.
A lot of people also torture dogs in public by dragging them along their cars.
While the celebrities are doing their bit, it is our responsibility too to show support for this noble cause.
