40 Dead Dogs

[Guest guest]

I sent the following email to Mr. Robinson and the

Disney officials below after reading about the removal

of dogs from Disney HK

Mr.Robinson

 

I am writing to express my dismay at the way your

company dealt with the stray dogs at the Disney theme

park in Hong Kong.

 

While I understand the dogs could not be left to roam

the park, you did not deal with this issue properly.

 

You offloaded the problem onto the government, then

you tried to shift blame and responsibility by saying

" What the government is doing is in line with its

policies. "

 

What about your policies?

 

You say you are " committed to being a responsible

member of the Hong Kong community and this is

reflected in the manner in which

we operate. "

 

Is the way the dogs were dealt with a reflection on

the way you operate?

 

Is it responsible to deal with problems in the

cheapest, easiest way possible?

 

Is it responsible to attempt to offload blame?

 

From the figures I have read, there were some dozens

of dogs, perhaps 40. That is not many.

 

The dogs were also already tame, used to humans and

being fed by them.

 

There are animal welfare organizations in HK who would

have helped you deal with this issue properly.

 

Disney has made a lot of money through the years by

portraying dogs in cartoons and films.

 

You can't use animals to promote an animal and family

friendly image, then act like this.

 

Your spokesperson is now saying the company has been

in contact with an animal welfare group about the

dog issue and will continue to work with the group.

 

That's good, but it's too late for the unfortunate 40

dead dogs.
