An annual dog meat festival has begun in southern China, amid widespread domestic and international opposition. About 10,000 dogs and cats are expected to be killed and eaten during the controversial 10-day festival in Yulin. A tradition of eating dog meat dates back some 500 years in China, South Korea and other countries, where many believe it wards off the heat in summer months. Selling dog meat for human consumption is legal in China, with an estimated 10 million dogs killed for human consumption every year.
