CHINA - DOG EATING FESTIVAL GOES ON DESPITE PROTESTS - One can only imagine the horrific methods customers use to murder the caged dogs they buy at the market.

Animal activists load a cage holding dogs which they just bought from vendors to stop them from being eaten ahead of the annual dog meat festival in Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, June 20, 2014. The festival, scheduled on June 21 as in previous years to mark the summer solstice, in southern Chinese city of Yulin, has drawn fierce protests from animal welfare groups and pet owners, who urge the local government to ban the long-standing tradition. According to animal welfare activists, about 10, 000 dogs will be consumed on that day, Xinhua News Agency reported. REUTERS/Stringer (CHINA - Tags: ANIMALS SOCIETY) CHINA OUT.

Animal activists swooped in and bought as many dogs as possible before they were eaten at a controversial festival in China. 

The festival, which has been around for centuries, takes place in the city of Yulin around the summer solstice every year. 

Around 2,000 dogs were thought to have been consumed on Saturday.
