Yang decided to travel 1,500 miles to Yulin and spent 7,000 yuan ($1,100) to rescue 100 dogs from being slaughtered
Here she sits next to a cage with poor dogs that she just bought from dog-meat dealers
She runs a shelter called ‘Common Home,’ which is home to more than 1,000 dogs
Many of the dogs require medical attention, which she provides
Her shelter depends on volunteers and donations to operate
Yang makes steamed corn bread twice a day to feed the dogs, which is all she can afford
It’s always a special treat for all of the animals when volunteers come and visit
She tries to give them treats every weekend
Attitudes towards dog and cat consumption in China are changing, but some of these traditions have deep roots
