 
New Hope for Dogs in China!
The Chinese government has officially delisted dogs as livestock and declared them companion animals -- a move that could signal the beginning of the end for the brutal dog and cat meat trade.
While this is not an outright ban on dog meat, only "livestock" may be legally sold as food, which means dog meat restaurants, markets and slaughterhouses are now technically operating illegally.
Of course, the law is meaningless unless it's enforced. As the horrific Yulin Dog Meat Festival approaches, we hold our breath to see if the government will step in to stop the slaughter.
LFT welcomes China's momentous step forward in acknowledging dogs as companions, and now urges them to explicitly ban dog and cat meat and strictly enforce their new laws.
Now is the time to keep up the pressure. If you haven't yet, please sign Lady Freethinker's petition to call for a permanent, nationwide ban against all dog and cat meat in China.
Lady Freethinker will continue fighting to end the cruel dog and cat meat trade and save all animals from abuse. Will you please donate to help us continue this work?
Thank you for adding your voice to help stop animal cruelty.
