It may be about the Yulin festival inChina. Every June, they kill and eat about 10,000 dags and cats. They keep them in terrible conditions, then use barbaric methods to kill them - they burn them alive, skin them whilst alive, hang them and blowtorch them. Abhorrent.

You can do something positive by cutting down on meat eating.

Images like that do stay with you.
If I were you I wouldn't focus on it unless you can do something practical and positive to counteract it.

I think it’s the annual festival in China involving dogs, I have been avidly avoiding this for a couple of days now.

Just trolling through twitter when a video popped up showing animals being killed - I didn’t stop to investigate further, but presumably for eating.

But it was dreadful. I eat meat so perhaps do not have any entitlement not to be protected from the reality.

Bit my goodness I can’t get it out of my mind.
