In 2026, the Chinese authorities launched campaigns to push local population to sell nomadic livestocks to slaughterhouses in the Tibetan region of Gade County, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and intensified efforts to publicize the distribution of government incentives and subsidies. 

According to official news published online by the Chinese authorities on 6th April, in order to intensify the promotion of policies mandating Tibetan nomads and farmers to send their livestocks such as yaks and sheep to slaughterhouses, the so-called Gade County Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Water Conservancy, and Science and Technology Bureau of Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture dispatched 100 officials to six townships and one town. These officials held meetings aimed at “boosting public awareness and participation in the 2026 county-wide livestock off-take policies, intended to drive high-quality pastoral growth and stabilize rural incomes.”  Emphasizing government incentives and subsidies, the campaign encourages residents to scale up the sale of cattle and sheep to slaughterhouses throughout the county.
