Controversial dog meat festival kicks off in China

In spite of the government's drive to discourage consumption of wildlife and pets for meat due to health reasons, the controversial dog meat festival has kicked off in Yulin city of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in mainland China. But campaigners said visitors to the 10-day annual festival dwindled this year, with hopes that this year's event could be the last.
