The petition seeking to 3,000,000, was started by a Canadian Animal Rights Group `Raise UR Paw'. And in their petition, the group, of Elliot Lake, Ontoria, Canada said they need the voices and paws of the world to be raised to help ban the YULIN DOG MEAT EATING FESTIVAL scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2015.

Reports say vendors of the dog meat are already preparing and planning for huge protests for the event which begins this weekend.  It has been ongoing since the 1990s.

The wrote: "We at "RAISE UR PAW" need the voices and paws of the world to be raised to help ban the YULIN DOG MEAT EATING FESTIVAL which is going to occur on June 21, 2015." 

The group said Countless Canine Lives will be sacrificed in order to fulfill an inhumane tradition that has been permitted to occur for many years - and it is now time this horror is finally put to an end.

"Time is ticking and the massive killing of dogs will soon take place, we must get our voices united and raised not just to save the lives but save the hope in humanity - to be part of a compassionate world where we all come together to stand up and speak out for all innocent life, not just the life of humanity.  If we turn away and ignore the cries/pleas of these babies, then we truly have turned away from being human"kind"."

There are still some hours left, so RAISE UR PAW TODAY AND TAKE ACTION!
