A woman from an animal right activist group looks at a dog as she negotiates a price with a dog vendor for purchasing it in order to rescue it from dog meat dealers at Dashichang dog market ahead of a local dog meat festival in Yulin, Guangxi Autonomous Region, June 21, 2015. In the market, some dogs are sold as pets while others are sold for dog meat. Local residents in Yulin host small gatherings to consume dog meat and lychees during the festival, which falls on Monday this year, in celebration of the summer solstice, which marks the coming of the hottest days.
