Fw: Dog meat gives men stronger erections//CHINA- prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amendment) Bill '06.+ China reopens Trade in Tiger Parts + Artists for Moonbears

 

The torture and cruelty to which animals in Asia (China, Korea, Japan etc) are subjected defies comprehension by any civilized standards. What must be done to bring this to an end?

Words fail me...I am sick to my stomach...this is so awful. Putting a dog through such a painful process for the purpose of better erections - I am beyond shocked and upset.

A tiger farm in China's Guangxi Province claims it is sellingtiger-bone wine with the government's blessing and that profitsalready top US$10 million a year.This news was reported in detail in a recent expose published in the popular China Youth Daily. If the reporting is based on fact, China hasbegun lifting its 13-year ban on trade in tiger products, or the farm isboastfully and blatantly breaking the law."We have 400 vats in this cellar, each containing a tiger carcass," the manager of the wine-production facility within Guilin Xiong SenTiger and Bear Farm reportedly boasted as he lifted a tiger skeletonfrom an alcoholic brew. "Construction of another cellar is beingcompleted, which will increase our production capacity." In 1993, China's State Council issued a "notice" forbidding alltrade in tiger bone and rhino horn. The legally-binding proclamationprohibited the sale, purchase and transport of tiger bone, rhino hornand products made from them. Existing products containing the forbidden ingredients were locked away under government seal, and China'sofficial pharmaceutical protocol for their use as medicine wascanceled.Recently, however, a flurry of reliable rumors has surfaced saying that China's State Forestry Administration (SFA) has taken steps to beginlifting the ban on trade in tiger bone from farms, permitting those withmore than 500 captive-bred tigers to start limited legal sales of tiger bone directly to medicine manufacturers, who in turn can sell theirproducts directly to hospitals.One SFA official told Save The Tiger Fund that medicines containingtiger bone are essential in treating SARS. Representatives of the traditional Chinese medicine industry say this is ludicrous. Whiletiger bone has long been useful in treating arthritis and otherrheumatic disorders, it is not essential for treating these or any otherdiseases because natural alternatives are plentiful and effective. The SFA so far has refused to confirm whether they have authorizedlimited legal trade of any kind. However, tiger farmers and the SFAjointly hosted a small group of sympathetic foreigners for anall-expense-paid VIP tour of the farms earlier this year, asking them for their support of China's plan to farm tigers like cattle.Furthermore, an official of the Guangxi Forestry Bureau confirmed to China Youth Daily that the SFA gave the Guilin tiger and bear farmnearly US$1 million to enhance tiger breeding efforts and build itsbrewery. According farm officials, the SFA also issued the facility -which, ironically, opened in 1993 - the only permit in the country to openly retail tiger bone wine.The brewery manager is quoted as saying that some of his vats of tigerbone wine have been steeping for eight years. Wines sold on thepremises range in price from US$41 a bottle to US$106, depending on vintage. At Nanning's airport, the reporter found a bottle priced at$135.The manager was adamant about his claim that his farm has governmentpermission to sell tiger products. "Who would dare to sell tiger bone wine without permission from relevant authorities?" he is quoted assaying.He implied that this major reversal of China's national policy isbeing phased in quietly. "Because tiger trade is a sensitive issue internationally," he said, "we will have to wait until after the2008 Olympics to take the wine to the markets in Beijing and othercities."China Youth Daily has confirmed what conservation groups have been hearing - and fearing. Shortly after the three-part series waspublished, China's new and improved wildlife trade control law cameinto effect. To honor the occasion, Conservation International,International Fund for Animal Welfare, Save The Tiger Fund, TRAFFIC, Wildlife Conservation Society and World Wide Fund for Nature sent anopen letter to China's Premier Wen Jaibao praising the new law andalso China's long-standing ban on tiger trade."The recent proposal by China's tiger farms to legalize trade in tiger parts and derivatives will jeopardize the great efforts that theChinese government and the world have invested to save wild tigers,"the letter reads. It mentions the dangers of "laundering" thebones of wild tigers as bones from farmed tigers, the folly of reigniting China's potentially huge appetite for tiger bone productsand also the complications posed for law enforcement efforts to stopillegal tiger trade.The letter goes on to gently imply how reopening tiger trade would fly in the face of the environmental theme of China's upcoming OlympicGames. "We hope that China, in the spirit of its new* law and theupcoming 2008 Green Olympics, will discourage the consumption ofendangered wildlife in general, reiterate its commitment to the 1993 ban of trade in all tiger derivatives from all sources, and thereby continueto play a responsible leadership role in protecting the world's fewremaining wild tigers."The intentions of China's tiger farms are clear. Their advocates in the government are increasingly active in their support and now, itappears, are forging the way for tigers to be legally produced, renderedand sold like cattle.

Tragically, wild tigers, which are dirt cheap tokill and far more valued as medicine, will be the first to beslaughtered.Thank you for your interest in the survival of wild tigers,JudyJudy MillsDirectorCampaign Against Tiger Trafficking (CATT): An organized response to anorganized crime
