Matt Damon and Rooney Mara lead campaign against dog slaughter
Matt Damon has headed an impassioned video to shed light on a Chinese festival that sees 10,000 dogs tortured and killed every year.
The Compassion Project enlists a range of emotional A-listers, also including Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix, to bring attention to the Yulin dog meat festival, which has been condemned globally for its brutal treatment of animals.
In the video, the stars talk about the ritualistic killings and the belief that torture improves both the taste and health benefits of the meat, spliced with disturbing clips from the festival.
