The Heartwarming Story of Felicity, the Rescued Samoyed Who Walked the Red Carpet in Cannes
What happened: Felicity, an adorable Samoyed, was rescued from Chinese butchers who planned to sell her as food. The butchers had her “strung up by her tail” before members of the London-based charity NoToDogMeat came to her rescue. Now living in London, Felicity wore a sparkling red gown at the Cannes Film Festival to raise awareness about the dog meat trade.
What they’re saying: “When we found Felicity she was in a terrible state, but over time and with a lot of love and care her outgoing personality has blossomed,” said Julia de Cadenet, founder of NoToDogMeat. “Anyone who loves dogs is rightly appalled by the cruelty of the dog meat trade, and ever since I found out about it I have been determined to try and help,” said charity volunteer Michelle Parker, who created Felicity’s red carpet look.
Why it matters: Dogs are more than just pets, they are loyal companions and members of our families. The cruel and inhumane treatment of dogs in the dog meat trade is unacceptable and needs to be stopped. It’s important to raise awareness about this issue and support organizations like NoToDogMeat who are working to end the dog meat trade.
Bottom line:
Felicity’s story is a reminder of the importance of animal welfare and the need to protect our furry friends.
The dog meat trade is a cruel and inhumane industry that needs to be stopped.
We should support organizations like NoToDogMeat who are working to end the dog meat trade and promote animal welfare.
