�Eating Happiness�- An Expose Of Asia�s Dog Meat Industry�

�Eating Happiness� – An Expose Of Asia�s Dog Meat Industry�

Soi Dog Foundation�s partner, World Dog Alliance has produced a ground breaking documentary exposing the realities of dog meat consumption in Asia.

Producer and Director Genlin takes you through the backstreets and rural villages of Vietnam, South Korea, and China to disclose the brutal violence of the dog meat trade. The documentary highlights activists saving thousands of dogs by stopping trucks of trafficked dogs packed in cages, dog farms with horrific living conditions and a research center using dogs to develop commercial cosmetic products. From a historical background, the movie explores the habits and relationships between humans and dogs in five different countries.

The film highlights the annual killing of over 30 million dogs and is destined to raise global awareness of the barbaric practice.

The film�s director, Genlin first became aware of the dog meat trade when visiting his hometown, Guizhou, China in 2013. Upon stepping out of the airport, a massive billboard popped up in front of his eyes and it read, �Hua Jiang Dog Meat Restaurant�.

He asked: �How can that be? Dogs are the best and most loyal friends for human being, how could we eat our best friends? My local friend then told me that �Hua Jiang Dog Meat� is one of the three most famous dishes in Guizhou.�

Eating dog meat is not a cultural tradition but a superstitious custom. Because dogs are such happy

creatures, some believe that by eating dog, they can absorb that happiness and become happy themselves.
