ACR helps animals in China
Jul 10, 2008


Alley Cat Rescue wants to thank everyone who signed and submitted our petitions to stop the animal cruelty in Beijing, China in preparation
for the Olympic Games. Together, we gathered over 12,000 petitions, urging Chinese authorities and the Olympic Committee to stop the killing. That’s remarkable!

As we speak, 6,000 petitions are traveling to Switzerland to the International Olympic Committee and in the next day or two, 6,000 petitions will arrive on Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong’s desk here in
Washington, DC.

Of course, China is not the first country to “clean up” by removing cats for the Olympics; Greece did it and so did England. But if we keep pressure on the International Olympic Committee and the participating countries to stop this cruelty, in the end, the animals will win! (England did bow to public pressure, and allowed cat rescuers to go in and remove all the stray and feral cats.)

Again, thank you to all who showed your support for this campaign and for supporting the efforts of Alley Cat Rescue!!
