Watch: celebrities join shock campaign against dog killings in Asia
Several A-list celebrities including Matt Damon, Joaquin Phoenix, and several others have joined forces to release a video on the killings of dogs in China and other Asian countries. In an attempt to halt the annual Dog Meat Festival in the Chinese city of Yulin, the celebrities called for an end to the event and animal cruelty. In previous years some 10,000 dogs have been slaughtered during the 10-day festival. The tradition of eating dog meat dates back four or five hundred years in China, South Korea and other Asian countries. Critics of the Yulin festival say it is unacceptable that the dogs are caged and sometimes skinned alive. Some practitioners believe the meat tastes better if the animal is slaughtered when distressed. The campaign is run by the NGO Animal Hope & Wellness under the hashtag #CompassionProject What are the top stories today?

There's a big difference between how animals are killed & slaughtered in the US & China , we don't burn animals alive, stab them to death while they're tied up, beat them to death, boil them alive & etc..I do not eat meat & i despise the slaughterplants here, but what happens here compared to what happens there is apples & oranges...What they're doing to these poor dogs is unimaginable & cruel..For anyone to make excuses for the actions of these so called people need a reality check in compassion & empathy for these poor animals.

I wonder how all these Hollywood elitists feel about aborted babies rights? I think we already know! I WONDER WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THE: "STOP THE ABORTIONS COMMERCIAL?"
I worked with people that ate dogs. Didn't our current president say he did? Many people in China aren't multimillionaires like the elitist movie stars. -

So what, I eat dogs, maybe if they try it, they will like it. This video is a joke
-
And Asians should start a Shock Campaign over the mass slaughter of cattle, swine, chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys in the West. People are always trying to tell other cultures how to live according to Western standards. Hypocrites.

Ok, now do another passionate video for the children in Palestine (just one example on an endless list).
"No?"...I thought not, not if you want to continue your career.
Still, this video is better than nothing, and I hope it has its desired effect. -
Get Vegan or stop acting like u care about the animals
-
Barbaric.
Makes me question the fine line between humanity and monster.
Dogs are people. -
They better be Vegan, or at least Vegetarian. If they only care about dogs and not on other animals like cows, chickens, pigs etc, the hypocrisy will be off charts.
-
"Black Dog Adobo", onolicious, I hear.
-
Why only dogs. How about stop killing animals all together hypocrites.
-
Stupid ass video. Can't even spell my country right!
-
But these overindulged self important ego driven hypocrites say nothing about how pigs are farmed in their own country.
-
Americans are one of the largest consumers of meat per person.
Maybe you should put your efforts against the vast factory farming and slaughter within your own borders before going around preaching to other nations regarding their eating practices. -
do the same video about pigs, cows and chicken in usa- they ain't treated better
