Yulin Festival Argumentative Report
In just over a month on June 21st, the Hideous Yulin Festival is set to open. Today, May 18th there are hundreds of stories claiming "China banning dog meat at the Yulin festival" at EndYulin2017.com we believe this story is a lie.

I hope and pray with all my heart that on June 21st I am absolutely 100% wrong, but based on the last two years odds are I am right.

In 2015 a month before Yulin was set to start, just like today, the same exact scenario took place. Word was spreading that dog meat would be banned. it turned out the ban was not dog meat but, the words dog meat on menus, awnings and any outside signage.

Another ban was Yulin officials banning all outdoor seating, and pushing the slaughter of these innocent animals to the back room of the slaughterhouses. In

Why are hundreds of dogs be shipped into the city a month before the festival begins?

I have been covering Yulin for years and my honest opinion is this.

The incoming appointed Party Secretary Mo Gong Ming is set to take over power on June 15th, a week before the Yulin Festival starts.

I may or may not want this Festival to end, but taking over Yulin's leadership a week before the start of the festival is not great timing. If he does intend to close the Festival down, he may announce it, but then say "We are not banning the sale of dog meat, but we will stop all trucks carrying dogs from entering Yulin.

The outside media will, of course, sing his praises as they watch every truck being pulled over and the dogs confiscated. The media, playing the fools they are will not report that the trucks being stopped and Ming is a true hero. Of course, the truck was simply a trojan horse because the dogs set for slaughter had already been in Yulin for weeks.

As far as this banning story goes, it seems that it was set in motion by either "The Independent" or by "National

    Jonathan Safran Foer’s article, “Let Them Eat Dog”, makes a compelling argument. Foer proposes that dog, like other animals, is as fairly consumable, nutritious, and deserving to be eaten as the rest of the meat found in the deli aisle. For a serious argument, the article keeps the reader interested with a humorous technique and alliteration. Foer presents the long history of dog-consumption, how that has changed, and how in present-day, having dog in our diet would benefit us, not only nutritionally, but economically and socially.…

    So it is safe to say Marc Ching will be no more by Yulin but we are hoping to stop the slaughter before it happens and to do this we need to get the word out that Marc Ching will not be bringing all his donations that were meant to save dogs, but instead paid to 'close' slaughterhouses that were reopened within hours, filled with dogs, and opened once again for business.…

    Pit bulls are being banned worldwide because they are being raised with irresponsible owners and are being trained to be vicious, causing pit bulls to terrorize communities, and attack people and dogs causing the highest mortality rate of all dog breed attacks. The way communities, cities, states, and countries are handling this, is with breed-specific legislation. Pit bull breeds are being banned which does not only target pit pets who are trained to be vicious but pit’s that are good pets as well. I believe this does absolutely nothing to control the terror that vicious dogs are bringing to neighborhoods, because instead of the trainer being the one to blame, the animal doing what they are trained to do is being targeted against. Just because pit bull breeds are the main breed that trainers; who want a vicious, obedient, attacking fight dog favor during these times, does not mean the specific breed is vicious. The ban on pit bulls will just cause irresponsible trainers to find a new dog breed to train the same way. There are many things to take into account before breed-specific legislation should be used in communities, including facts about the…

    If we think that it is wrong to eat dogs, we are being hypocritical and should instead think that it is wrong to eat all animals. Though we have formed emotional bonds with our dogs, that is because of common interactions with them. Beef, bacon, and chicken, however, sit unnamed and barely recognizable on our plates. Perhaps if we spent more time with other animals, we would form emotional bonds with them too and feel more reluctant to kill them. In the meantime, however, we should not push our food taboos on other cultures, because we are not always right and different cultures have their own…

    People all over the world feel hunger, but have no food to eat. Well that can be solved by my new solution of legalizing dog meat for every day of the year all across the world, instead of just on the summer solstice in China. Imagine, an old lady in China living on the filthy streets, starving out in the extreme cold. The streets filled with an opaque fog. The streets smell like rotting fish and all that can be heard is the annoying sounds of the children playing. A young teenager is seen walking up to the lady, he gives her a 100 pounds dog meat and soon a bright smile is seen spread across the old lady's face. She has enough food for the rest of her life, sadly only a month or so because she is poisoned by the pollution from the factories. My solution will help the world remarkably, starting with helping with the problem of world hunger.…

    Animals, author Foer states that “ Like abortion, where it is impossible to definitively know some of the most important details and that cuts right to one's deepest discomforts, often provoking defensiveness or aggression”. Although the physical benefits of consuming a dog can easily be proven or stated, the emotional side of this argument cannot simply be solved, if possible at all. The argument behind the morality of eating a dog has been taking place for a very long time. Many of the individuals who believe in the banning of consuming dogs argue that dogs are a higher tier of animal than the other types of animals we consume. This is simply not true. While one might argue that the majority of America would not consume dogs even if dog meats…

    Their country does not always feel the same way about things that the United States do. Therefor they both have different laws. China has recently proposed a new animal protection law. This law protects animals from deliberate cruelty and examines the motivations that have persuaded china to revise and new law like this. The law reflects the requirements of international animal welfare standards and the desire of its citizens to protect these animals. This law protects wild, economic, pet, laboratory, and entertainment animals from cruelty and videos and or pictures of cruelty. The laws in China now provide limited protection. This draft law if passed will be a major step in stopping animal abuse in China…
