Dear Animal Friend,

 

Late last month as the president of China, Hu Jintao,

met with President Bush at the White House, members of In Defense of Animals

(IDA) gathered outside. The reason for the gathering was to screen video

evidence revealing dogs and cats being skinned alive in China and call on the

leader to introduce and enforce meaningful welfare standards regulating the

treatment of animals within the fur industry.

 

Those of us who care about animals are horrified to

learn that more than half of the world's fur products are imported from China,

where there are no animal welfare regulations and animals suffer the worst kinds

of abuses. Among the rabbits, coyotes, foxes and other animals, millions of cats

and dogs are brutally murdered for their fur.

 

Many of them still wear collars and ID tags, an

indication that they were stolen from loving guardians to be turned into fur

trim and trinkets.

 

Today, I urge you to take action to help more animals

from suffering this tragic fate. Please sign a petition to urge the Chinese

government to pass National Animal Welfare Laws to protectl 'man's best friends'

and other fur bearing animals.

 

Help Stop the Suffering

Three powerful ways you can help right now. You

can choose one or do all three. Thanks to the internet it is easier than ever to

make a difference.

 

 

 

Spread the word! Even just one friend or family

member could shift the balance.

 

 

 

Make a generous tax deductible donation of $25,

$50, $100 or more.

 

 

 

 

 

Dog and cat fur exported to the U.S. is often

deliberately mislabeled as being from another species, so many consumers who

purchase it are wearing the fur of a dog or cat without knowing it.

 

Please take a few moments of your time today to help

these innocent victims of the fur trade.

 

1.. Take action. Please sign a petition to urge the

Chinese government to pass a national animal welfare law, urgently introduce and

enforce legislation prohibiting the skinning of live animals, urgently introduce

and enforce legislation prohibiting inhumane treatment and slaughter methods and

introduce and enforce legislation prohibiting the inhumane confinement of

animals. Even if you have signed before, please take a moment to sign again.

2.. Spread the word. Click here to tell friends and

family how they can prevent dogs, cats and other animals from becoming fashion

victims in China.

3.. Donate to IDA's campaign to end the bloody Chinese

fur trade. Your generous tax deductible donation of $25, $50, $100 or more is so

very important to bringing us closer to ending these cruelties. Click here to

make a donation today.

Please act now so that we may carry forward our fight on

behalf of our animal friends. With your help, we can make a difference. Thank

you for all that you do for animals.

 

Sincerely,

Elliot M. Katz, DVM

President and Founder
