Re Chinas new facility for breeding beagles for experiments !

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I was disgusted to read of China's new involvement in breeding

beagles for animal experimentation and saw a mention of the

WHO in this cruel industry.

 

Is it possible this centre is opening because of the difficulty in

international AR activists in accessing and demonstrating outside such a

place?

 

Who can we write to in protest at this latest abomination and

abuse of dogs as research subjects for scientific testing?

 

This facility deserves its own " Opposed to facility for breeding beagles in

China

for experiments " campaign and web site!

 

Kind regards,

 

Marguerite

International activists parachuting in to demonstrate would be unlikely to

help.

What is needed is development of the Chinese animal welfare/rights movement.

This is beginning but there is a long way to go.

In the meantime what international activists should do is write polite,

thoughtful letters to the Chinese Ambassador in their own country.

And support organisations with a presence in China such as Animals Asia

Foundation:

and IFAW:

By the way - I have visited this company's current facility and it is indeed

awful.
