Chinese man strips naked and caged himself to protest dog buthers

An encaged performance artist set up shop in front of a Guizhou Province dog butcher shop yesterday to protest the consumption of dogs. Despite the 3 degrees celsius outside temperature, the 40-year-old canine advocate, Pian Shankong, was clad in nothing but a pair of underwear. Throngs of self-proclaimed dog volunteers joined him in the demonstration, chanting "do not eat dog meat."

Pian stated with regards to the bizarre spectacle:

"I do urge you not to eat dog meat. We love promoting small animals, protection of human faithful friend."

Pian's protest is one of many demonstrations he has "performed" in a circuit of Southwest China, spanning Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces in addition to Guizhou.

China has recently banned a dog-eating festival that dates back more than 600 years after a Chinese internet uproar over the way dogs are slaughtered. However there are still some butchers that are still slaughtering dogs for its meat.
