Shanghai: Shanghai is hosting one of the world’s biggest dog shows but animal activists and online critics are condemning the event due to the widespread consumption of dog meat in China.
The four-day World Dog Show which started yesterday comes for the first time to China, which consumes around one-third of the estimated 30 million dogs eaten for their meat worldwide by humans each year, according to Humane Society International.
Activist groups said they were using the event to highlight the dichotomy between China’s love of the dog as a companion and the persistence of the dog meat trade.
