A man claiming to be a retailer torments a dog with the aim of forcing animal rights advocates to buy it at a high price in Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, June 20, a day before Yulin's annual dog meat festival. The event features dog meat hotpot, lychees and strong liquor. It is a cherished tradition among local residents but the nature of the festival has sparked controversy over alleged animal abuse.
