Business is booming at the Yulin No.1 Crispy Dog Meat restaurant: Cats and canines crammed into cages ready for slaughter days ahead of meat festival that's outraged the world.

Local authorities said it had been abolished following global outrage, but animal protection charities who are working tirelessly to expose the cruel market say the festival will go ahead as planned.
Shocking images taken only this morning show how a new batch of cats and dogs - inhumanely stuffed into wire cages - has been brought into the city.
And queues already stretch outside huge 300-seat eateries such as the Yulin No. 1 Crispy Dog Meat restaurant which sells the newly-slaughtered animals to hungry customers for around £2 for half a kilogram.

Some animals die on the long truck journeys from every corner of China and many suffer such horrendous injuries that they cannot stand in the filthy pens they are transferred to.
Those who do survive are clubbed over the head and have their throats cut open before they are thrown into boiling water.
'The butcher then plucks all the hair, removes all the organs and puts the dog on the grill,' according to the Secretary General of the Vshine Small Animal Protection Association who took the horrendous images just today.
Xing Hai added: 'You tell the chef how you want it to be cooked, they will do it... There are many ways to cook dog meat just as one would cook pork in China. For example, braised dog meat in soy sauce, dog casseroles, deep-fried crispy dogs.
'There are three to four big dog meat restaurants in Yulin such as the one called Yulin No. 1 Crispy Dog Meat and each of these restaurants can seat 200 to 300 customers.'
'I came to Yulin last year to campaign against the festival, I feel this year the business is getting better... I just came out from the local food market and there were queues outside of dog meat restaurants.'
