"The annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival is not just a celebration that looks at dogs as a commodity to be harvested, eaten or sold. It is a celebration of the vicious torture of dogs and 10 days of revelry in their suffering.
"It is also not an ancient tradition with ties into China’s beautiful history and custom – it is a new practice that has evolved in the last ten years, right under our noses.
"Yulin is a thriving cosmopolitan city - it is not a deprived village depending on dog meat for food.
"How the rest of the world has turned a blind eye to this was shocking to me."

Jameela Jamil has hit out at Kim Kardashian after the reality star opted to wear a corset and share a snap of her wearing it online .
The 34-year-old former E4 presenter took aim at 39-year-old Kimmy after she posed in an outfit that drew in her waistline – while exacerbating her famous curves .
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday , Jameela let rip on the reality star and preached to her 3 million followers exactly why Kim ’ s wardrobe choice was wrong and why she was correct to criticise the reality star for choosing what she should wear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote : “ I ’ ve received over 1000 DMs asking me to address this .
The reason I didn ’ t jump on it immediately isn ’ t because I don ’ t think the post was damaging and disappointing .
I do .
“ It ’ s because the fact that you ’ re all messaging me about it , shows my work is done .
I havent been trying to cancel Kim K. I was always trying to arm YOU with the knowledge to recognize for YOURSELVES that this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the patriarchy .
“ If YOU know that it ’ s problematic , reductive and irresponsible for her to perpetuate such a heavily impossible beauty standard to her impressionable fans ... then you ’ re empowered and conscious and don ’ t need me.
” But she didn ’ t stop there – she continued : “ Kim , like many of us , has had decades of body image issues and obsession .
This has been HEAVILY perpetuated by how much the media scrutinized her and her sisters over their appearances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to harm you .
She ’ s just so harmed and deluded into thinking this is what SHE needs to look like to be special and beautiful and she ’ s spilling it out onto her following .
“ Is this wrong ?
YES .
But I ’ m not sure she realizes that she ’ s doing to others what her idols did to her , in making her think a tiny waist is the key to femininity and sex appeal .
“ We grew up in the era of Heroin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ HAD to look like an addict starving to death , so to go from that..to being bullied about your body by the world ?
This toxicity from someone who is smart and knows better , is a sign that this is harm she can ’ t stop doing.
” She went on : “ So there ’ s no point in screaming at her .
The smart thing to do is to protect YOURSELF .
YOU have the power .
YOU control every Market .
YOU choose what and who is trendy.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kim .
She raged : “ Unfollow the people who tell you things that hurt your self esteem .
Don ’ t let the debris of their damage spill out onto you .
Unfollow people/brands that don ’ t make you feel powerful and happy and grateful for what you have .
“ You ’ re the boss and none of them are shit without you.
” She continued : “ THE PATRIARCHY WANTS US TO FOCUS ON OUR WEIGHT INSTEAD OF POWER , EQUALITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FREEDOM .
FUCK ANYONE WHO ENCOURAGES @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
REPEAT.
” Signing off , she advised : “ Follow activists , writers , artists and comedians instead.
” Many fans praised the former TV presenter , with one replying : “ Love this message.

”

The TV presenter-turned-actress targeted the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star over her personal style decisions and urged her own fans to unfollow the reality star
Jameela Jamil has hit out at Kim Kardashian after the reality star opted to wear a corset and share a snap of her wearing it online.
The 34-year-old former E4 presenter took aim at 39-year-old Kimmy after she posed in an outfit that drew in her waistline – while exacerbating her famous curves.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Jameela let rip on the reality star and preached to her 3 million followers exactly why Kim’s wardrobe choice was wrong and why she was correct to criticise the reality star for choosing what she should wear.
In the lengthy post, Jameela wrote: “I’ve received over 1000 DMs asking me to address this. The reason I didn’t jump on it immediately isn’t because I don’t think the post was damaging and disappointing. I do.

“It’s because the fact that you’re all messaging me about it, shows my work is done. I havent been trying to cancel Kim K. I was always trying to arm YOU with the knowledge to recognize for YOURSELVES that this is a bullshit expectation of women, developed by the patriarchy.
“If YOU know that it’s problematic, reductive and irresponsible for her to perpetuate such a heavily impossible beauty standard to her impressionable fans... then you’re empowered and conscious and don’t need me.”
But she didn’t stop there – she continued: “Kim, like many of us, has had decades of body image issues and obsession. This has been HEAVILY perpetuated by how much the media scrutinized her and her sisters over their appearances.
“She isn’t actively trying to harm you. She’s just so harmed and deluded into thinking this is what SHE needs to look like to be special and beautiful and she’s spilling it out onto her following.
“Is this wrong? YES. But I’m not sure she realizes that she’s doing to others what her idols did to her, in making her think a tiny waist is the key to femininity and sex appeal.
“We grew up in the era of Heroin Chic, where we were told you HAD to look like an addict starving to death, so to go from that..to being bullied about your body by the world? This toxicity from someone who is smart and knows better, is a sign that this is harm she can’t stop doing.”
She went on: “So there’s no point in screaming at her. The smart thing to do is to protect YOURSELF. YOU have the power. YOU control every Market. YOU choose what and who is trendy.”

Jameela then urged her followers to unfollow Kim.
She raged: “Unfollow the people who tell you things that hurt your self esteem. Don’t let the debris of their damage spill out onto you. Unfollow people/brands that don’t make you feel powerful and happy and grateful for what you have.
“You’re the boss and none of them are shit without you.”
She continued: “THE PATRIARCHY WANTS US TO FOCUS ON OUR WEIGHT INSTEAD OF POWER, EQUALITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FREEDOM. FUCK ANYONE WHO ENCOURAGES THIS. BLOCK. MUTE. DELETE. REPEAT.”

Mikel Arteta was all smiles as the Gunners prepare to try and salvage their European push at Southampton on Thursday following two straight Premier League defeats
Boost for Arsenal as Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira return to training after injury
Arsenal enjoyed some good news ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with Southampton as Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira were back in training.
