The Xuzhou Peixian Dog Meat Festival was originally held every two years (held every odd-numbered year), but this year it will be temporarily "added". Fan Xiantao, a descendant of Fan Duo and president of the Peixian Meat Dog Breeding Association, told the surging reporter that this move is to pay attention to and support the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in Guangxi.
Another dog meat festival!
Fan Xiantao said:
"We also hold a dog meat festival in Peixian County, which was the first in 2007, every two years, and originally held the fifth in 2015, in order to pay attention to and support the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, it will be held on October 18 this year, and once a year in the future."

In China, the place where dog meat is keen to eat is not only in Yulin, Guangxi, but also in some parts of Guangdong, Guizhou, Jiangsu and other provinces. In Pei County, Jiangsu Province, the history of eating dog meat even dates back two thousand years, when two celebrities in Pei County, Liu Bang and Fan Duo, were loyal "fans" of dog meat.
In Fan Xiantao's view, dogs are mainly divided into three categories, one is pet dogs, such as small dogs such as chihuahuas; one is working dogs, such as police dogs, military dogs, anti-drug dogs, search and rescue dogs, guide dogs, etc.; and the other is meat dogs, such as rural dogs and dogs raised in meat dog farms.
"My attitude is: protect pet dogs, don't kill working dogs, only kill meat dogs." 」
It seems to be the same thing, but what I can't understand is: why do you want to kill dogs and eat meat as a festival? Yulin dog meat festival has just passed, the residual heat has not subsided, the emotions of dog lovers have not subsided, Peixian came to such a show, why?
Follow the trend dog meat festival, a profit-seeking game for businessmen!
Peixian people seem to have a particularly good reason: at present, Peixian has about 1 million dogs, and more than 600,000 are slaughtered every year to maintain ecological balance, otherwise it will be "full of dogs".
It's a serious thing to say, but if you think about it, it seems wrong, 1 million dogs, to slaughter 600,000, is this not completely for the sake of dog meat trading and deliberate breeding? The premise of "dog overcrowding" is at least that the locals do not want the number of dogs to be too large, but they are not controlled, and they are definitely not deliberately breeding dogs out of interest.
Let's pull the camera back to 2013:
In 2013, the Xuzhou Municipal Tourism Department launched a number of image publicity advertisements with strong xuzhou local characteristics and cultural symbols in the Shanghai Metro, such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Chu King's Tomb and the Xuzhou Di Pot, one of which was related to Peixian dog meat.
What Xuzhou officials did not expect was that this batch of Xuzhou tourism image posters that appeared on Shanghai Metro Line 2 and Line 4 actually caused an uproar because of "Peixian dog meat", many Shanghai citizens and netizens raised questions, and even some people submitted letters to xuzhou local media, asking Xuzhou to immediately tear down the poster.
Later, Xuzhou also removed the controversial poster reflecting Peixian dog meat.
In this way, they also want to make a name for themselves throughout the country (and thus boost the economy) through dog meat. Then, this year, in the case of the residual heat of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, peixian's strong rise is basically an extension of the advertising in the Shanghai subway last year, and the intention is clear.
According to statistics, there are more than 20 dog meat processing plants in Peixian County, more than 100 dog meat restaurants, more than 300 dog meat stalls, and more than 2,000 meat dogs are slaughtered every day.
It seems that Peixian is no longer satisfied with such an economic scale!
