In a world where the bond between humans and canines spans thousands of years and transcends cultures, it is difficult to comprehend that millions of these loyal companions still face a grim fate in the dog and cat meat trade. This brutal practice, though increasingly opposed, continues in certain areas, particularly in China, where the mass slaughter of dog and cats persists. But change is on the horizon, and the Duo Duo Project, a nonprofit headquartered in California’s Bay Area, is leading the charge to end this inhumane industry.

Yulin festival: Doubts over 'dog meat ban'
According to US campaigners, the Yulin dog-eating festival in China, notorious for its animal cruelty, will this year be banned from selling dog meat.
