The Yulin Festival, an annual dog meat event which takes place in south-west China, is now underway despite the protests by animal rights activists.
Approximately 10,000 cute and fluffy dogs will be slaughtered at the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival in Guangxi province on Sunday and Monday to mark the summer solstice.
With this in mind, Paddy Power have drawn up a market on the number of dogs to be consumed during the festival:

Thus, with such experience, we implored that Taylor Swift use her powerful voice to help just one dog go uneaten. Poor little Fido.
We are currently awaiting a swift response from Taylor, but in the meantime, many other Twitter users were quick to jump on poor Paddy’s back for merely highlighting a major issue:
Some others felt the need to round up a few more celebrities to:
At least there’s always someone who appreciates us. #Love
But there’s always that one odd ball…
