PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
YULIN DOG MEAT FESTIVAL 2016 (24 May 2016)
Motion Details
That this House condemns the plans to go ahead with the Yulin Dog Meat Festival 2016 in Yulin, China; expresses deep concern at the barbaric, cruel and inhumane manner in which dogs have been slaughtered in the past; is appalled at the theft of domestic pets and rounding up of strays to provide dogs for the festival; notes the terrible conditions that dogs face prior to being killed as they are held in overcrowded cages without water; and urges the Chinese authorities not to ignore this brutal activity but to intercede to stop the festival from taking place.
