Festival scene of Jinhua Hutou Dog Meat Festival

On the day of the Dog Meat Festival, many dogs will be gathered together to wait to be slaughtered. The dogs were either roasted or boiled after being beaten to death at the scene. The original reason why this festival was so lively was that the weather had just turned cold in autumn, and eating dog meat could warm the stomach and improve health. People in Hutou and Shangchen areas would hold banquets to entertain relatives and friends who came to eat dog meat. However, over the years, this festival has become more popular. Changes are taking place, and it is becoming more and more unbearable. In recent years, many vendors have gradually slaughtered dogs on the street. In addition to locals, there are also foreigners driving private cars to eat dog meat. These people selected the dogs locally and slaughtered them on the spot.

In addition to cut dog meat, there are also slaughtered white dogs on the stall.
