There have been media estimates of all dogs are eaten every year in China reached 10 million. Animals Asia Foundation found in this survey, however, dog farms are tiny, have not seen throughout the so-called mass (raising more than 100 dogs) "dog meat" farms.

Claimed that domestic meat dog breed is one of the most concentrated areas of Shandong jiaxiang, investigators discovered that the so-called industrial scale is not true. Although on a network can be searched on the ground hundreds of dogs, giving the impression it was a prosperous industry, farm, however the truth is one of the many actual are the same entity, and no one visited more than 30 the number of adult dogs in the kennel.

Jiangsu fan kuai dog meat products from the company's staff told investigators: "the larger farms used to have, and now it's gone, can't go, we also have later found more dogs more, costs are high, price higher than the market price of dog meat of farmed dogs. ”
