Ordinary Chinese citizens blocking a truck with 580 dogs.. most likely headed for the dinner plate…. they were SAVED!!!!
After spotting a truck packed with hundreds of whimpering dogs on a Beijing highway, a man put out a call on a microblogging site, begging fellow animal lovers to help him force the driver to release the animals.
Around 200 people responded, blockading the truck at a toll booth for 15 hours until they finally negotiated the 580 dogs’ release for $17,000, saving them from being slaughtered and served as food.
The rescue was a rare successful case of social activism in China. But bb, hell hath no fury like a dog lover!
We are so proud of our Chinese animal loving brothers and sisters!
