Wayne Hsiung - Saving dogs from China to America STOP YULIN 2025-01-10 | The Stop Yulin Podcast is proud to welcome Wayne Hsiung, Attorney/animal rights strategist and co-founder of DXE-Direct Action Everywhere and more recently, the Simple Heart initiative. Wayne was at the very top of my guest list when I first started the show back in the fall of 2019, so I am thrilled to finally get to speak to him and share this titillating conversation with viewers. Our conversation covers the wide gamut of Wayne’s work as an animal rights activist/strategist but given the theme of this podcast, we will focus on Wayne's investigative work into the Yulin Dog Meat Festival and China's dog meat trade as well as Ridglan Farms, one of the largest breeders of beagles for experimentation in the United States. In 2017, Hsiung and two other DxE investigators, Paul and Eva, entered the facility and documented the horrifying conditions and the psychological trauma of the dogs. DxE ended up rescuing three beagles: Julie, Anna, and Lucy.

Animal Kingdom Foundation - Philippines DMT STOP YULIN 2022-10-28 | In this 3rd Anniversary podcast edition, we are joined by Atty Heidi Marquez, Attorney and Director at Animal Kingdom Foundation, a non-profit animal welfare non-government organization (NGO) committed to improving the living and welfare conditions of animals in the country and eliminating the cruel trade of dog meat for human consumption. Our talk today will focus primarily on AKF’s investigative work and campaigns to end the very cruel dog meat trade in the Philippines.Animal Kingdom Foundation was founded in 2002 by the late Charles Leslie Wartenberg driven by his love for animals. It started with Charles learning about the horrors of the cruel dog meat trade in the country and about how common of a practice it is in the provinces. Troubled by this cruel act, he arranged a team that would help save the helpless dogs from the slaughter and make the perpetrators liable from this cruelty. Due to its prevalence in the country, numerous raids and interceptions have been conducted in various locations saving the lives of thousands of dogs. To provide shelter for the rescued dogs who were once bound for slaughter, AKF put up a rescue and rehabilitation center in Capas, Tarlac. Here, their medical needs are given and they are rehabilitated until they’re ready to be adopted by their new family. Today, AKF is one of the most respected animal welfare NGO in the country working and campaigning not only on the welfare and protection of companion animals but of farm animals as well.#dogmeattrade #dogmeat #animalrights To learn more about AKF wonderful work, ongoing campaigns and how YOU can help, please visit the links below:Website: https://akf.org.ph/ FB: facebook.com/AKFanimalrescueIG: instagram.com/akfanimalrescue/?hl=enYT: youtube.com/channel/UCBEjPLXPpshYDaah_4CG9kw/featuredAKF-Soi Dog Co - Petition to shut down DMT in Philippines:support.soidog.org/content/help-shut-down-dog-meat-trade-0?&utm_campaign=ca750.02_letter+philippines_202200820&utm_content=cr03.01_ad03.01_raid+05-09+video&utm_term=as13.02_warm_combined&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=p-social

Lady Freethinker - Nina Jackel STOP YULIN 2022-04-29 | Today’s podcast features a powerhouse animal rights activist and journalist, Nina Jackel, founder of Lady Free Thinker, a 501C US charity known for effecting change for animals around the world.Lady Free Thinker aims to expose cruel and illegal activities through undercover operations; targeted education to change outdated cultural norms; and galvanizing ordinary citizens to make a difference through strategic petition campaigns targeted at government officials, industry leaders and other decision makers. Their petitions have garnered over 15 million signatures and have managed to directly save countless animals’ lives.Nina started Lady Freethinker back in 2013, as a personal blog and maintained it while working as campaign director for Last Chance for Animals, an animal advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. The impact of her work was almost immediately felt. A petition Jackel started to stop a school hunting contest in which children as young as five years old were rewarded for killing possums resulted in public outrage that shut down the event in 2017.In recent years, Lady Freethinker has gone beyond publishing by providing direct aid to dogs and cats rescued from the horrors of the meat trade in Asia and sponsoring educational ads for the public in DMT nations that show how dogs are family, not food.Today, Jackel leads a team of dedicated writers and investigators at Lady Freethinker, covering breaking news and grassroots actions with the mission of creating a more compassionate world.Please sign LFT's petition to ban animal cruelty videos on YouTube: ladyfreethinker.org/sign-remove-animal-cruelty-from-youtubeFor more information on LFT and/ or to donate, please folow the links below:Website: ladyfreethinker.org FB: facebook.com/LadyFreethinker IG: instagram.com/ladyfreethinker #animalrights #dogmeat #animalliberation

Chinese AR Activist speaks out STOP YULIN 2021-10-29 | For this 2 year anniversary podcast, we have the privilege of hearing from a Native Chinese AR activist who was part of the local groups that intercepted dog meat trucks heading to Yulin Festival, dog meat markets/restaurants or slaughterhouses across the country. This is a one of a kind opportunity for us, foreigners, to hear and better understand the DCMT in China, its origins, the reason why the CCP has yet to enact any animal welfare laws and outlaw the DCMT and a host of other important issues that are largely misunderstood or ignored by westerners. Our guest offers us a deep insight into what it is like to live in a country like China as an animal rights activist and speak out about the many transgressions that the CCP is guilty of. This podcast is probably the most important episode to date and it affords us a unique 1st hand account of the landscape as it stands in China for animal rights. For safety reasons, our guest today will maintain complete anonymity.#yulin #dogmeat #china
