Chinese street vendors have been caught on camera butchering and skng dogs as customers looked on at a popular meat market in northern China.

北方一肉市场，街头摊贩被拍到屠杀狗后剥皮，顾客在一旁观看。

The shocking footage was released by animal rights organisation Humane Society International less than two weeks before the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, which is set to take place in another province in southern China on the summer solstice.

The dogs were believed to be stolen pets or owned rural dogs, said the organisation.

视频是动物权利组织国际人道协会发布的，距离玉林狗肉节不到两周。

该组织表示，视频中的狗不是偷来的宠物，就是农家养的狗。
