Yesterday we told you about Leona Lewis and Lisa Vanderpump teaming up to release "(We Are All) Looking For Home," a song that calls for putting an end to the annual Dog Meat Festival in Yulin.

Since the song was released last week, more Western celebs have come out in protest of the controversial annual event and the dog meat trade. A PSA recently released by the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation features a number of prominent celebrities — among them, Matt Damon, Pamela Anderson, Joaquin Phoenix, Bill Maher, Russell Simmons, Kate Mara, Rooney Mara, Kristen Bell, Alicia Silverstone, Maggie Q and more — speaking out against the festival, which begins today.

Watch the PSA below (VPN on):

The idea of putting an end to the festival has recently gained more traction in China. Last week, Beijing activists took the streets to protest the event, while Netease reported that a recent poll showed a majority of people supported banning it.
