SACRAMENTO, Calif. - June 15, 2016 - PRLog -- Duo Duo Project honors Recipients including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, entrepreneur and co-founder of StopYulinForevr Lisa Vanderpump, StopYulinForevr co-founder Dr. John Sessa, California Assemblymember Richard Bloom and former Assemblymember Paul Fong for bringing awareness to the dog meat trade.
A petition and letter co-signed by some of California's most influential animal rights groups will be delivered to Governor Brown after the Rally. Duo Duo Project is calling on California Governor Brown to officially speak to "sister state" trade partner, Guangdong, China. Guangdong, one of China's most prosperous provinces, is also one of the largest suppliers to the dog and cat meat trade, including local consumption and to the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.
The subject of international protest, the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, June 21, 2016, is estimated to torture, kill and eat approximately 10,000 dogs per event. Chinese activists have stopped countless trucks originating in Guangdong province on route to Yulin rescuing hundreds of starving and beaten dogs and cats. Duo Duo's petition to shut down Yulin's dog eating event has over 2.5 million signatures, making it Change.org's third most signed petition ever. Their petition localized to California urges Governor Brown to "Speak Up" to trade partner Guangdong and address their complicity in the illegal and cruel dog and cat meat trade.
Public, press and media welcome. Dogs too!
