    Animal rights activists are calling for the end to an annual dog meat festival in South China blamed for tarnishing the country's reputation internationally.

    The Litchi and Dog Meat Festival in Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, is usually held in June, but has met increased opposition in recent years amid concerns over canine cruelty and unhygienic food handling practices.

    Activists say that they will continue to press for the festival to be banned and for legislation outlawing the slaughtering of dogs and cats for meat in China to be outlawed.

    "The Yulin authorities need to adopt more proactive and decisive steps to crack down on an industry that kills dogs acquired illegally and sells their meat in breach of the state's food safety regulations," said Qin Xiaona, founder and director of Capital Animal Welfare Association.

    According to Humane Society International, around 10-20 million dogs are killed every year across China for human consumption, predominantly in the south and northeast.
