YULIN DOG MEAT FESTIVAL 2015
Early day motion 134, tabled 15 June 2015 by Chris Matheson (Labour). Signed by 42 members.
That this House condemns the plans to go ahead with the Yulin Dog Meat Festival 2015 in Yulin, China; expresses deep concern at the cruel and inhumane manner in which dogs have been slaughtered in the past; 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 to intercede to stop the festival from taking place.
