WE ARE HUMANITY AGAINST
THE DOG MEAT TRADE

Duo Duo Project is focused solely on ending the brutal dog and cat meat trade in China. We’re making real progress and working all year-round to ensure that dogs and cats are seen as family rather than food. Learn more about the Yulin Festival history and help us stop the Yulin dog meat festival and all celebrations of dog & cat cruelty.

It’s estimated that 10 million dogs and 4 million cats are slaughtered in the illegal trade every year and many of them are stolen pets. Please help the Duo Duo Project end this torturous trade.

How Duo Duo (多多) Began:

Meet Duo Duo, our namesake. This little dog was destined for the slaughterhouse. Our founder rescued her — for $10 — and called her Duo Duo, which means abundance. Since then, Duo Duo has received an abundance of love and Andrea Gung, along with a global tribe of volunteers have worked to ensure that innocent dogs and cats do not fall victim to this inhumane industry.

Our Mission

We work with people in China to end the dog and cat meat trade by helping everyone see that animals contribute to human well-being and deserve to be treated with compassion. Through community outreach, animal care, and humane advocacy we’re changing hearts and minds.

OUR APPROACH.

From introducing kids to their first real dog to providing new jobs for meat trade workers we’ve been on the ground in China for 8 years. Our grassroots team is having a measurable impact by focusing on these areas:

ADVANCING ANIMAL WELFARE POLICY

Our events bring loving dogs and young people together and help adults see dogs as invaluable companions rather than objects to be used or feared. From our popular animal welfare summer camps in dog eating cities, like Yulin, to our busy doggie cafe, we’re enriching lives and fostering a more compassionate society.

We sponsor shelters in dog and cat-eating cities and help activists treat desperate animals when meat trucks are intercepted. Our innovative spay and neuter initiative has disrupted the trade by reducing the number of stray dogs and cats who often fall victim to the trade.

Only a small percentage of Chinese people in a few cities still eat dogs and cats. Most Chinese families value their pets and want this torturous practice to end. We support activists who are working to persuade civic leaders to strengthen and enforce animal welfare laws, including those that prohibit the torturous transport and slaughter of dogs and cats.

PLEASE HELP
