This is the disturbing moment a dog was boiled alive by laughing villagers in China, according to Dailymail.
A shocking footage of the incident captured on a mobile phone shows
the canine, which appears to be wearing a house collar, struggling in a
pot of boiling water. The animal’s feet are bound together, but even so
the villagers used a bamboo pole to hold it down as it writhes in
agony.
Activist group Fight Dog Meat uploaded the footage, which appears to have come from Chinese social media, on to their website.
It is unclear where or when the footage was taken. Michele Brown,
the founder of Fight Dog Meat, wrote: ‘Cooking the dog in this method
would take perhaps an hour for the dog to lose consciousness, and longer
again for it to actually die.
Eating dog meat is practiced in several countries in eastern Asia,
including China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia – though it is
not as common as it once was.
Perhaps the most notorious event is the annual Lychee and Dog Meat
Festival, which takes place in Yulin, southern Guangxi province, in
mid-June.
While the festival used to see between 10,000 and 15,000 dogs
killed to satisfy eager customers, today that figure is thought to be as
low as 1,000.
Despite the declining popularity of dog meat in countries such as
China, it is thought that millions of animals are killed for human
consumption each year.
