Dogs don't have it good in places like Yulin, China. It is home to the infamous and controversial Yulin Dog Meat Festival. There have since been tens of thousands of dogs slaughtered and eaten at the annual event.

Now, protestors are trying a different approach. The dancers from the China National Pole Dancing Team and POLE11 collaborated on this project in hopes of ending animal cruelty.
