W6: Animal Activism on Yulin’s Dog Meat Festival

In another 2 months, an annual event held in Yulin, Guangxi, China will begin massacring both dogs and cats.  The Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (or Yulin Dog Meat Festival) is a monstrosity of an event held during June 21st to June 30th annually to which approximately 10,000 to 15,000 cats and dogs are slaughtered to be consumed has erupted major controversies and activists especially among animal rights groups as well as received international condemnation by politicians and celebrities on the basis of animal cruelty. While many strides have already been done to ensure the safety of the animals, the event will still be commencing this year.

Honor Thy Tradition or Abuse?

The recurring Yulin Dog Meat Festival began approximately 4,000 years ago where Chinese practitioners of folk medicine believe that consuming dog meat with lychees would ward of heat through the summer months of the summer solstice. However, the festival to commemorate the ancient practice was only turned to an “honorary” celebration in 2009 (

). The festival is locally organized with an abundance of food stalls that crowd the markets and streets of Yulin during the Summer, masses of cages filled with canines of different sizes are surrounded by citizens as they watch the festival commence.

Moral and Legal Issues

Whether the mass slaughter of animals is legal or not was repeatedly questioned towards the Chinese government by global animal activists to stop the dog meat trading industry and the festival itself. However, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying has clarified that the Yulin government has never supported nor did they organized the festival (Koetse, M 2016).

So the important question stands: is it even legal?

Unfortunately, China has no laws regarding the consumption of dogs, therefore its citizens have complete freedom in consuming dog or cat meat. The controversy surrounding the Yulin Dog Meat Festival has continuously ignited moral and legal issues each year whereby petitions and campaign awareness actively circulates around many social media platforms to bring attention to stop the Yulin Dog Meat Festival each year.

Animal Activism and Social Media Awareness

The Yulin Festival went viral in 2015 on Twitter that has led to an explosive social media movement that forces more pressure on to Yulin’s city officials to cancel these festivals. The online spread regarding the consumption of dog meat has caused news to circulate much faster than before even though major attention was only brought to light in 2015 when the festival initially began in 2009 (Keeton, J 2015). Online petitions namely Change.org were created with over 3.5 million signatures, as well as #StopYuLin2015 hashtags were created to further spread the awareness against these festivities.

A large number of animal activists and organizations have worked tirelessly to put an end to this practice. In 2016, the Humane Society International animal campaign group followed by its Chinese partner groups traveled to Beijing to submit a petition with 11 million signatures to call for an end to the dog meat festival. This resulted in numerous threats and undesired aggression from dog meat traders even though most Chinese wants the practice to be stopped due to its barbaric and embarrassing impact on China’s global reputation (Jacobs, B n.d).

As the years go by and the next festival has been set to happen again in another two months, more pressure is placed on to Chinese authorities to put an end to the dog meat trade as a whole before irreversible damage is done towards the country’s reputation and culture.

Daging nya HARAM dalam Islam, di Negara Ini jadi makanan POPULER, 10.000 Ekor Dibunuh tiap tahun !

Daging nya HARAM dalam Islam, di Negara Ini jadi makanan POPULER, 10.000 Ekor Dibunuh tiap tahun !

Pecinta hewan dari seluruh dunia menyuarakan penyetopan Festival Yulin, festival tahunan untuk membunuh 10.000 anjing yang dagingnya dimasak dan dimakan.

Festival itu digelar di Yulin, sebuah kota di Provinsi Guangxi di selatan China.

Meskipun memakan daging anjing tidak dilarang, tapi pecinta hewan bertindak di situs sosial untuk menghentikan festival tersebut tahun ini.

Melalui situs Change.org, sebuah petisi pada Mei dibuat oleh kelompok kesejahteraan hewan, Duo Duo, dan kini berhasil mengumpulkan ratusan ribu dukungan masyarakat untuk mendesak festival itu agar dihentikan.

Terdapat hampir 2,5 juta tweet menggunakan tanda pagar #StopYulin2015 di Twitter untuk membuktikan dukungan para pecinta hewan.

Pendiri Duo Duo, Andrea Gung, mengatakan, festival tersebut, yang juga merupakan tradisi masa lampau, harus dihentikan.

“Anjing adalah teman terbaik manusia. Membunuh hampir 10 ribu anjing pada satu hari adalah salah. Daging anjing tidak baik untuk dimakan,” kata Andrea ketika mengomentari penjualan daging anjing melalui pasar gelap.

Sebuah diskusi di situs sosial, Weibo, menunjukkan ada lebih dari 350 ribu-an percakapan di mana pecinta hewan memajang foto hewan peliharaan masing-masing dan mengecam festival tersebut.

Namun, ada segelintir orang yang menuduh pencinta hewan sebagai hipokrit dan memberi tahu supaya menghormati tradisi Yulin 2015. Karena mereka menganggap festival tersebut akan menarik wisatawan asing datang ke Yulin.

Ditentang Warga

Aksi penolakan terhadap festival itu, juga datang dari masyarakat China. Salah satunya,Yang Xiaoyun (65) yang menempuh cara sendiri dalam menentang festival tersebut.

Xiaoyun rela menempuh perjalanan darat sejauh 1.500 mil dari rumahnya di Tianjin ke Kota Yulin, yang terletak di selatan China, untuk menyelamatkan anjing-anjing dari pembantaian dalam festival tahunan menikmati daging anjing di Yulin. 

Setibanya di Yulin,  pensiunan guru itu pergi ke pasar untuk membeli anjing-anjing yang ditempatkan di dalam kandang. Dengan uang sekitar US4 1.100 atau Rp 14,6 juta, Yang Xiaoyun menyelamatkan sekitar 100 anjing, demikian laporan Huffington Post, 21 Juni 2015.

Setiap tahun kota Yulin menggelar festival daging anjing dan kucing. Festival digelar pada musim semi. Sekitar 10 ribu anjing dibantai setiap kali festival digelar.  Anjing-anjing itu tidak jelas dari mana saja asalnya, namun beberapa anjing ditemukan masih mengenakan pita di lehernya, sehingga diduga anjing itu hasil curian.

Menurut seorang ahli kebijakan China dari Humane Society International yang juga assoicate professor di Universitas Houston-Downtown, Peter Li, mengkonsumsi daging anjing memiliki latar sejarah di China.

Pembantaian anjing dan kucing dalam festival tahunan di Yulin telah diprotes oleh para pecinta hewan. Upaya Yang Xiaoyun pun menarik perhatian pecinta dan penyelamat hewan internasional.

Kepedulian perempuan ini untuk menyelamatkan hewan diawali pada tahun 1995. Saat itu, ia berusaha menyelamatkan anak kucing dari satu sungai. Lalu, pada tahun 1999, Yang Xiaoyun menemukan tempat penampungan anjing dan kucing.  Untuk melepaskan hewan-hewan itu dari tempat penampungan, Yang Xiaoyun menjual rumahnya dan menyewa tempat untuk menjadi rumah bagi para hewan itu.

Sekitar 1.500 anjing dan 200 kucing tinggal di tempat penampungan miliknya. Bahkan, ia dilaporkan akan membuka tempat penampungan anjing khusus di Yulin.

Seorang aktor dan pelindung hewan, Ricky Gervais mengecam festival daging anjing di Yulin. Ia menyatakan tak tega menyaksikan wajah dan rasa takut anjing-anjing dan kucing-kucing itu ketika akan dibantai. “Tak satupun hewan layak diperlakukan seperti itu,” ujarnya.

HARAM NYA DALAM ISLAM : 

Dari Abu Mas’ûd Radhiyallahu ‘anhu beliau berkata:

أَنَّ رَسُو لَاللَّهِ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَم نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلوَانِ الْكَا هِنِ

Rasulullâh Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam melarang hasil penjualan anjing, mahar (hasil) pelacur, dan upah dukun. [Diriwayatkan oleh Imam, Ahmad 4/118-119, 120, al-Bukhâri 7/28 dan Muslim no. 1567.]

Hadits Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu ‘anhu yang berbunyi, bahwasanya Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam telah bersabda:

كُلُّ ذِينَابٍ مِنْ السِّبَاعِ فَأَكْلُهُ حَرَامُ

Semua yang memiliki gigi taring dari hewan buas maka memakannya haram. [HR Muslim 1933]
