Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Dear friends, you are now aware that dogs and caring people in Nanjing are suffering at the hands of ignorant and arrogant government officials. Please send out a protest email to the Nanjing government at the below address. lxc Please send a copy to the Chinese embassy in your area. You can find the embassy contact details from the below link. http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/embassy_list.htm Please also send a copy to the media of your choice, magazines, newspapers, etc. The below is a sample letter. Thanks for caring. Yoon Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you hearing upon an extremely disturbing news that you are killing dogs in your city as a measure of stopping the spread of SARS virus. Apparently your method of killing is extremely cruel, which makes everyone think that you are blaming the poor innocent dogs for the spread of SARS. I hope you will understand that the world has watched China with astonishment and horror for the measures it has been taking to stop the spread of the illness. You take away people’s beloved pets away from SARS patients’ home and kill them off without any consideration for the feelings of these people. In addition, you are killing street dogs. If anything is responsible for the SARS virus, do you realise it is China’s total lack of respect for animal welfare? China has allowed people to consume its treasured wild life along with dogs and cats, animals which are so dear to many people’s hearts. You have allowed animal markets to operate where the cruelty to animals were beyond belief. When people and animal are put into extremely stressful situation, their immune system becomes weak and the danger of developing a strange virus may become a serious reality under these conditions. Instead of examining the obsession with fresh meat and the belief that eating companion animals and exotic animals bring health benefit, China has decided that it will punish people who have affection for their animals. These people are the only people who improve the image of your country in the eyes of the world. The action which China should take and the world expect it to take is to close down all the breeding facilities of dogs for meat, stop the consumption of exotic wild life and companion animals, and to close down all the animal markets. I urge you to take the right course of the action and stop this senseless slaughter of innocent animals immediately. It is people who are spreading the virus at the moment and not the dogs. Yours truly, ===== Friends of dogs http://www.friendsofdogs.net Dogs brighten our life with their gift to love and bond. It is our turn to help our dogs. Please help organisations who are fighting to get dogs out of food chain. http://www.koreananimals.org/ http://sirius.2kat.net http://www.animalsasia.org/ http://www.linisgobyerno.org/special_projects.htm Plus For a better Internet experience http://www..co.uk/btoffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
