Animal rights activists have shared footage of a dog yelping as it is cooked on a barbecue in a Chinese meat market. A video shared by campaign group No To Dog Meat, shows a dog in searing pain as it tries to open its battered jaw to yelp, while it's cooked on a barbecue at a meat market in Yulin. The activists also shared clips of a dog stuffed into a cramped cage in filthy conditions in a meat market in the Chinese city of Yulin, which is known for the notorious dog meat festival. Dog meat is also on the menu in Vietnam, but China's consumption of 20 million dogs per year dwarfs its neighbour's five million. Last year, the last dog meat slaughterhouse closed in Seoul, South Korea after the public demanded a halt to the trade.
