The dog and cat suppliers for Chinese restaurants subject the poor animals to hell on earth and a horrible death
I wish that every fucking person in China who eats dogs or cats chokes to death on his God forsaken meal!
HORRORS OF CHINA’S MEAT TRADE: 500 DOGS STUFFED INTO TRUCK IN APPALLING CONDITIONS BEFORE BEING SERVED UP IN RESTAURANTS
Many had already died due to barbaric treatment and searing heat; activists tried to stop the vehicle, but were beaten back by thugs

Stuffed into a lorry so tightly they can barely breathe, these desperate animals are the latest victims of China's sickening trade in dog meat.
More than 20 animal rights activists stopped the vehicle, which was carrying 500 dogs at a service station on the Jingha Highway in an effort to them.
Due to their horrific treatment and the hot weather, a number of the dogs had already died while others were seriously ill.
But despite their best efforts, the campaigners were unable to stop the lorry from leaving after being attacked by a group of thugs.
The dogs were most likely driven to restaurants around the country, where they will be served up to diners.
One activist said: 'We feel very powerless. God please save the dogs.'
It is the latest incident where animal campaigners have tried to intervene to save dogs in recent months.
One group was more successful earlier this year when a truck carrying 505 canines packed into just 156 tiny cages, was stopped on Yunnan Province's highway from Fumin to Kunming after other drivers spotted its sickening cargo.
Protesters posted pictures and comments about the load on the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, Weibo, prompting the police to stop the lorry at the next toll gate.
The trade and transportation of animals in China has come in for criticism by campaigners in the West.
Some of the huge markets which sell dogs and cats to restaurants for slaughter and human consumption came under international spotlight several years ago after being the suspected origin of the deadly SARS virus.
In one of the large markets, on a 60-acre site in Guangzhou, China, cages of dogs and cats - some of them bred as domestic pets - are piled high.
When an animal is chosen for sale it is bludgeoned with an iron bar until it is close to death before, being handed over to the purchaser.
