Activists save “Lucky” dog from meat shop in Yulin and call for COVID-19 ban on city’s dog meat festival next month
Yulin authorities urged to ban Summer solstice dog meat event to protect public health and animal welfare

Chinese animal activists intervened to save the life of the last dog found alive at a dog meat shop in Yulin, Guangxi province, a month before the city’s summer solstice dog meat eating gets underway.
The dog, named Lucky by his rescuers, was found chained up outside the shop, with a dog meat for sale sign in front of him.
The Akita was the last dog of the day due scheduled for slaughter before the activists persuaded the shop keeper to give him up.
There were obvious signs he had once been a pet dog and had therefore likely been stolen by dog thieves.
