Singers Alesha Dixon, Professor Green and Will Young have teamed up to back this year's #StopYulin campaign, appealing to end China's annual Yulin dog meat festival, taking place June 21.

Animal charity Humane Society International has created a two minute video and is asking the public to sign and share a petition to stop the event, which kills between ten and 20 million dogs each year. Dixon commented 'I am absolutely horrified by the Yulin festival so I'm proud to support HSI's #StopYulin campaign and their work all year round to end the dog meat trade'.
