WARNING: ARTICLE CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES AND FOOTAGE OF DOGS BEING TORTURED
Ricky Gervais has slammed a Chinese festival, which sees tens of thousands of dogs slaughtered every year so their meat can be eaten, as ‘disgusting’.
The Office star has taken a stand against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, which takes place on June 22, in a series of passionate tweets accompanied by photos showing pets being tortured.
He posted: ‘They believe torturing the dog makes the meat tastier. They beat them, burn them, skin & boil them alive! Disgusting sub human c**ts.
