The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is a controversial annual event that involves the ill treatment of and eventual consumption of thousands of dogs. In recent times, there has been a global push to end the festival and to completely stop the consumption of dogs in China.

Real Housewives star Lisa Vanderpump teamed up with Leona Lewis and Diane Warren to create an educational song — "(We Are All) Looking For Home" — that is meant to inspire people to join the fight to end the abuse of dogs not only in China, but throughout the world. 

Listen to the song below (VPN on):

The song is now available on iTunes and 100 percent of its proceeds will go towards ending dog torture.

Vanderpump has spoken out against the festival in the past. In September, she teamed up with Sharon Osbourne to release a PSA calling on viewers to take a stand against it

The idea of banning the festival has recently gained more traction in China. Last week, Beijing activists took the streets to protest the event, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow. And according to a recent poll conducted by Beijing Information Consulting Co., 64 percent of respondents supported banning the festival, 51.7 believed that the dog meat trade should be banned and 62 percent believed that the Yulin festival damaged China's international reputation.
