Respect life opposed the bloodshed
Dogs have long been regarded as "companion animals" gory "dog day" Street slaughter, and killing animals, not only to the global fast companion animal runs counter to the consensus, and massacred the bloody scenes of the scene of the massive negative feelings can not be ignored.

But in the so-called dog meat section of culture, being subjected to mass killings of dogs is vulnerable and disadvantaged, in need of protection and care. Therefore, banned dog meat section, save with human emotions close to the dog, is truly embodies the spirit of respect for diverse cultures.
Professor Li Jianjun of China Agricultural University said, what to eat at the dinner table is not a private matter, closely related with the fundamental values and civilization, involving how to get along with others including animal, how to establish man's place in nature. Specific to the dog meat section, may and we are against bloodshed and killings, attitudes of respect for life and the concept of modern civilization. Controversial dog meat section in Yulin, which may be one of the main reasons.
Li said that dog meat section is a kind of folk in Yulin, nothing wrong with that, but traditional does not mean that is what civilization without moral judgment and ethical debate. Yulin city animal protection on the dog meat section of the press and much of the country's resistance to dog meat section, of modern public life, consciousness and critique of the bloodshed.
He said that, in the absence of ethical concern, how can safely eat? Determines our "tongue" security not only on business and technology, as well as our own ethical attitudes.
