Dog Slaughtering Scene in Shunyi District, Beijing

 

With a rope harnessed on the neck, a dog was

stabbed with a knife into the throat by a

butcher, the blood spurted out. Nearby, dozens of

other dogs to be slaughtered wailed together as

they saw the companion was killed. This was a

scene happened on the railway beside the Shun Yi

Bird and Fish Market yesterday.

°°°°

" It's too bloody! " said Mr. Zhang. At 10:Am

yesterday, he guided the reporter to the railway

near the market, by the both sides of the south

railway, over 10 dogs were tied on the railway.

Under a signal light, there's a pool of dark

blood, the pawls of dogs scattered on the ground.

Obviously, heaps of times of killing had ever

been happened here.

 

°° Around 10:30, the people crowded, besides the

dog sellers and the dog-meat buyers, there's

still a lot of visitors. A man was sharpening a

knife to kill the first dog today. He chose a

black dog and give him a pat, the dog wagged his

tail, he did not aware what will happen.

Suddenly, the butcher tightened the rope around

the dog's neck, the dog was pressed on the

ground, the knife stabbed into his throat like a

lightning, the blood spurted out. Half meter

away, another dog cried.

°°°° " 8 yuan per catty, there's still two others

in the tricycle. " The butcher shouted. 20 minutes

later, the whole dog-skin was skinned.

°° During the affair, several trains passed.

The crowded people had to dodged away

hurry-scurry as the sound of train heard. " it's

too dangers, " said Mr. Zhang.

°°°° " Almost one year, every Sunday, it became

the day of dog trade. " said of Mr. Zhang, every

time a dog was killed, the others would cry

loudly, the resident nearly could not be

disburden.

°° At the spot, the reporter did not see the

quarantine officer around. " although the dog was

killed lively, who can guarantee the dog meat has

no the problem of sick? It's not safe to make

this kind of meat flow into the consumptive

market. " many residents hope that the concerning

department could give a management to this dog

slaughter scene.

these slaughters? or this is just for us to read? then after reading, then

waht??? does reading help??? or these articles go to other organisation as

well??? do they do soemthing??? or what???

 

u know waht every time when i read this, i feel so sad that these sentient

beings were traeted in this way, but apart from reading this, whatelse can be

done??? i dun think reading this will help! if it does, can anyone tell me how

it could be helped?!

 

apart from receiving these sad articles, i didnt see anyone have ever had any

response here, it seems that i m the only one here in this group!!!! if no one

has any response, why odes this group still here, waht is the meaning of this

group?????

 

or it is just like a hobbit for someone to post something here for someone to

read??

 

i doubt if this group doesnt function in anyway to rescue those suffering

animals, why does this group here,?for what purpose? i wud rather i didnt know

this then receiving tons of sad stories daily, but nothing to help! i wud

prefer to read some happy news to choose what i like to enjoy my life rather

than receiving these sad staories each day, but seems no one could help and no

one seems to have any response here!!!!

 

can anyone tell me what is this group for? tell you the sad stories about

animals? so in your next life, you wont choose to be an animals??!!! it seems

that i m asking no one, cos i m the only one here!!!!

From Anneleise Smillie:

 

Hi Jeremy,

 

 

As you say it can be very overwhelming to receive so many sad messages each

day on the aapn network - but it is an important way of keeping everyone

informed about what is going on and I can assure you that there are many

people and many groups across Asia doing their absolute best to start

changing things and creating a new and positive future for the animals of

Asia.

 

 

I think everyone would agree that it is heart breaking to read such stories

as this and perhaps we do need to hear more positive news from time time,

because great things really are happening as the result of the hard work of

groups working on the ground in Asia.

 

 

At Animals Asia our work focuses on the long term solutions and the 'bigger

picture' - We are working very hard with government departments and local

communities to find 'win-win' solutions that really do give the animals a

reason to hope and see education as a vital first step towards mass

improvement of animal welfare in Asia.

 

 

Our umbrella campaign, " Friends...or Food? " continues to highlight the

plight of dogs and cats killed for food, whilst promoting dogs and companion

animals as ambassadors for all species. To find out more please visit our

website http://www.animalsasia.org/beInformed/campaigns/caasia001.html

 

 

There are links to our successful Dr. Dog animal therapy programme which is

continually expanding (with plans to start in 3 new provinces in India next

year, as well as a major re-launch in China) and we're also in the final

stages of producing our informative " Friends..or Food? " VCD, which features

Eddie - our rescued market dog, who is now working as a Dr. Dog ambassador

and helping to give dogs across Asia a voice. You can also find out more

about dedicated Detective Simba, who is set to begin work with the Beijing

Customs Department next year to sniff out illegal animal parts at the

airport - another wonderful animal ambassador, who is clearly showing how

much we can benefit from sharing our lives with companion animals.

 

 

Plans for 2004 also include the development of educational materials for

primary schools and responsible pet care initiatives, as well as funding

innovative new Dr. Dog workshops to promote and restore respect for all

animals in HK and Guangzhou - the dog eating capital of China.

 

 

Having spent many years in Asia, we know how fast things can change - the

success of our Dr Dog programme which sees over 300 Dr Dogs spreading warmth

and love in countries all over Asia, is testament to the changing attitudes

towards animals. Indeed we know already from working with various government

departments in Beijing and Sichuan Province, that there is definitely a

growing recognition and sympathy towards the issue of animal welfare (which

did not exist 10 years ago) and, like the China Bear Rescue project which is

becoming more and more successful as a result of good relations with the

government and local community, we feel that the issue of cruelty to

domestic animals can be similarly addressed.

 

 

The aapn network is a very valuable way for groups in Asia to exchange news

stories and information and I can assure you that we all do care as deeply

for the animals as you do. If you would be interested I can arrange to mail

you an information folder from the recent Asia for Animals Conference which

was held in Hong Kong in September and attended by over 120 people

representing 50 different animal groups in Asia. It includes many of the

papers and presentations on the work that is going on across Asia to help

animals in need and I think you would find it very interesting and hopefully

uplifting. Please let me know if you would be interested in this and I can

arrange to mail you a copy.

 

 

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me

directly at any time.

Best wishes,

Anneleise Smillie
