Yulin Festival Photos in China Spark Outrage from Dog Lovers Around the World
British comedian Ricky Gervais, a dog lover, led a worldwide outrage against China’s Yulin Festival after he posted on Twitter brutal photos of dogs being burned and boiled alive for tradition. Apparently, around 10,000 dogs are being slaughtered every year in the Chinese province of Guangxi to celebrate the solstice and Gervais, together with animal rights organizations, are protesting to put a halt to this event once and for all.
You can track the hashtag #StopYulin2015 for the developments of this campaign.
Sincere apologies. I didn't want to have to tweet these photos. Burnt & boiled alive for flavour. #StopYuLin2015 pic.twitter.com/NF3RKvGQ1X

Instead of commenting something like that, what can’t you help share that photo so people would know how brutal China is?
Instead of showing these horrifying photos why couldn’t you just have done something
