Here is a true heroine of our times. Former professor Yang Xiaoyun, 65, saved from certain death beyond 100 dogs destined to be eaten during the Yulin dog meat festival, the city in southern China that has become famous all over the world for its macabre festival in honor of the summer solstice.
Over 10.000 dogs are slaughtered and consumed here every year, but not everyone in China is in favor of this practice. Like this retired teacher, who runs an animal shelter in Tianjin and has traveled more than 2400km for save as many dogs as he could from certain death by spending over 7.000 yuan (990 euro).
Some of her photos posted online show the woman walking in the market among the cages full of dogs destined for slaughter. Yang has been dealing with unfortunate animals since 1995, when he first rescued an abandoned kitten from a river. In 1999 you founded a sanctuary for dogs and cats, the "common home for all". Since then she has welcomed hundreds of animals.
This amazing woman is doing what many dog lovers wish they could do. She put in the effort, time and money to save as many dogs as possible before the Yulin Festival. Last year she managed to save 360 dogs. This is why it is important to support it, even if from a distance. Let's make ourselves heard signing petitions and using the hashtag #stopYulin2015.
