dogs on a "truck from hell" before they were sent to be "made into soup" at a sick festival. The controversial Yulin Lychee and Dog Meat Festival, which is set to start on June 22 and will see thousands of captured stray dogs and pets being blow-torched and cooked into exotic delicacies in southwest China.

Video shared by animal charity NoToDogMeat shows campaigners and police stopping a truck at a checkpoint as it heads from the Gaoling district of Xi'an to the barbaric torture festival on Saturday (June 18).The truck carries hundreds of terrified pooches that have been rounded up from villages and kept in tiny crates for days with no water and no food.As the officers questions the driver on the roadside, the desperate canines bark and cry for help while volunteers try to deliver water to keep them hydrated.According to the animal rights group, the truck was impounded and the illegally transported dogs will soon be handed over to the campaigners, who will then give the dogs veterinary care and a safe home.

This coms after the campaigners' colleagues busted another truck, which was destined to send 2,000 dogs from central China to Yulin last week.
