无助的狗狗将在野蛮的玉林狗肉节上被屠杀

Thousands of helpless dogs and cats have been squeezed into rusty cages to be sold off skinned and boiled ahead of China's infamous Yulin festival.

在玉林狗肉节之前数以千计的无助的狗和猫被关在肮脏的笼子里等着被剥皮煮熟并售卖。

The heartbreaking images from a market in southern China show up to four dogs crammed into single cages a day ahead of the annual event where as many as 10000 cats and dogs are butchered and eaten.

从中国南部的市场里拍到的令人心碎的照片显示在节日前四只狗被塞在一个笼子里，每年多达一万只猫狗被宰杀和食用。

Animals Asia CEO Jill Robinson told Daily Mail Australia the campaign against the festival is part of a broader battle against dog eating in China where 10 million canines are eaten annually.

亚洲动物基金会CEO对每日邮报说这个抗议活动仅仅是针对中国更广泛的吃狗肉活动的一部分，每年有1000万只犬类动物在中国被吃掉。

'The festival is horrific but the issue goes far beyond this event alone. Ending the Yulin Dog Meat Festival is an significant first step to ending dog and cat meat eating across China' she said.

“这个节日是可怕的，但问题远远超出了这个单独的事件。结束玉林狗肉节是结束中国吃狗肉和猫肉前重要的第一步。“她说。

Research from the group found the vast majority of animals used in the festival are stolen - a method that is cheaper and easier than farming.

根据该组织的调查发现，在节日里使用的动物绝大多数都是偷来的这比专门养殖的成本低多了，而且也更加容易。
