IFAW Alert -Thousands of dogs brutally slaughterered-CLICK ON THE LINK TO SEND AN EMAIL TO CHINESE GOVERNMENT

IFAW Alert: Thousands of Dogs
Brutally Slaughtered
 
 
Please donate to help dogs like these.

It seems almost impossible to believe.

Imagine your dog being pulled from your home by local police and then beaten to death in front of you. There’s only one way to spare your beloved pet: kill your dog yourself (and receive 63 cents from the government!). A horrific choice.

Yet thousands of dog owners in China recently faced such a decision when a county in southwestern China killed as many as 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered campaign to stop the outbreak of rabies. And now it is about to happen again in the eastern city of Jining, the southern city of Futian and many more cities across China; putting hundreds of thousands of dogs at possible risk.

Please take action now to stop the next mass dog slaughter in China.

Sadly, this is not a unique event in a country without animal welfare laws. These types of dog killing campaigns spring up in China frequently, often in reaction to rabies control failures by local governments.

The cold-blooded massacre could have been avoided if the government focused on preventing the disease through vaccination and education. But dog population control in China rests with municipal governments, most of which have no management system to regulate dog ownership and disease prevention.

Many of these dogs died slow, agonizing deaths before the eyes of their owners who are helpless to protect them. Killing dogs that have rightful owners is also a violation of the basic rights of a citizen in China, whose Constitution calls for the protection of personal property, including companion animals.

Help IFAW prevent another dog tragedy before it’s too late

IFAW has successfully convinced some municipalities in China not to carry out mass dog killing campaigns in the past. China is very sensitive to international pressure on this issue. Please send a letter today to the Chinese Ambassador in your country urging China to immediately stop the inhumane dog culls.

Please also make a contribution to IFAW so that we may continue to push for animal welfare legislation to prevent the cruel treatment of animals in China and around the world. Only animal welfare legislation at the central government level can stop such a cruel event from taking place in China again. Let’s make it happen.

For the animals,

Fred O’Regan

P.S. Please forward this email  to as many friends as possible. The more people who speak out against the outrageous and unnecessary dog culls in China, the greater the chance we have to stop it from ever happening again.

Sign the Pledge to go Fur Free
Feb 15, 2006
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States

Consumers everywhere need to know the truth about fur. When people learn that millions of innocent animals are beaten, boiled, hanged, and electrocuted for their fur every year ... when they learn that every fur coat, lining, trim, or fur cat toy represents the intense suffering of several dozen animals? and when they learn that furriers intentionally mislabel fur as not taken from dogs and cats or as fake ... then every decent human being will want to go FUR-FREE.
