This year's Yulin Dog Meat Festival is underway as distressing footage has emerged of chefs preparing for the controversial festival where thousands of pooches will be consumed.
Campaigners from the NoToDogMeat charity have recently arrived in Yulin, South East China, preparing to document the slaughter and rescue as many dogs as possible.
In footage obtained by the charity and shared with the Mirror, shops are seen laying out dog corpses on the counters shops ahead of the June 21 Summer Solstice event.
