Chinese celebrates 10-day festival eating dog and cat meats.

Residents of the southern Chinese city of Yulin have started killing and eating dogs early this year to celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, to avoid animal rights campaigners, as Independent reported. About ten thousand dogs and cats are expected to be used for meat during the 10-day festival that takes place in Guangxi Zhuang, an autonomous south-eastern region of the country. There have been mass petitions for the festival to be banned but the local governments are unable to prevent it since this is organized by private businesses. Vendors say the animals are humanely put to sleep, but one activist found dogs skinned alive, bludgeoned, and put to their last breath in public.

Newborn baby found with a tail.

PZI People reported about the 11-month old baby, Yangyang, (pseudonym), who was born with a 6-inch tail in Yibin, southwest China’s Sichuan province. Doctors believed that his spine was not properly developed. It was also a shock because Yangyang’s mother had not been told about any abnormality during prenatal examinations. His family nicknamed him “little monkey”. His family was hesitant to get the tail removed but he was able to have his operation last May after developing weakening in his legs. Yangyang was later diagnosed with neural tube defects. The cause of Yangyang’s disease is caused by a deficiency of folic acid that the child’s mother could have taken in the form of supplements during her pregnancy.
