Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Dear Friends of Animals Asia, We are shocked to learn that certain Authorities in Guangzhou have announced that they are beginning the slaughter of all unlicensed dogs in the city, and across the Province of Guangdong. Consequently we are receiving emails from terrified Mainland Chinese dog lovers begging for our help. Unfortunately few people can afford the fee for dog registration in Guangzhou. It is an exorbitant RMB10,000 for the first year and RMB 6000 thereafter, thus Guangzhou citizens are living in terror of having their pets ripped from them and brutally killed. In fact, this cycle of abuse continues year after year without ever solving the fundamental problems of responsible pet care and stray dog control in China. We are requesting urgent meetings with the authorities in order that we can discuss sensible, far-reaching solutions but, as of today, have yet to hear from anyone who will actually take the time to listen. Meanwhile, pet owners continue to live in fear and we would like to request your help by voicing your protest to the Guangzhou authorities. Please go to: http://www.animalsasia.org/index.php?module=6 & menupos=9 & lg=en where you will find a sample letter of protest which can be emailed to the authorities. Just last week, we launched our Pet Education Initiative in cooperation with ParknShop in Guangzhou. It was an incredibly moving and successful event - and in stark contrast to the slaughter of companion animals in the same province!
