Theres a lot of chinese activists and my partner, john, is intracted with them. Been here for the past 12 days and about two days before we arrived, we got word that our activists had stopped a dog meat truck. So, weve spent the past week working with the chinese activists to stabilize the 300 dogs and cats that were rescued from a dog meat truck. Reporter he says the efforts are starting to have an impact. The festival has been pushed back to what they call dog meat in the street and the brutal slotering is going on more behind the scenes but obviously still going on in back alleys. Reporter and now it has all been caught on camera by a team of american animal activists who sneaked into dog meat street and found what they described as dog slaughter houses. We use undercover cameras and were able to obtain footage that hasnt been obtained yet before. Reporter wayne chung and Julie Anne Parry provided abc news with the footage, most of which cant be broadcast under abcs standards. I was shocked. Breeds that americans know very well.

Reporter its been a tradition in china for centuries. They believe it will bring good luck. Its not wide spread. There are a few pockets where its still ongoing and they believe dog is healthy for their body. Two of the men picked up metal poles and were hitting them in their hands and i remember sitting next to wayne thinking this might be where i die. Reporter the activists also found farms outside the city where dogs are being raised for slaughter. Under chinese law, it is legal to sell dog meat and in a statement, the Chinese Government called it the food preference of individuals. It said the local government has never supported or org anized ay socalled dog meat festival. But they said local authorities took them into custody. They originally threatened to charge us with espionage. They released us after two days of intearigation. Reporter but before they were deported, they were able to rescue some dogs and leaving other dogs theyd seen to a darker fate. I had to watch this dog, knowing i would watch footage of him the next day being beaten death. The fact i couldnt take him out was one of the most difficult things in my life. Reporter theyre called the boys by the animal activists. Leading a life safe from the slaughter house.
