Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Dear friends, the suffering of companion animals in China is heartbreaking and overwhelming at times. I believe we must carry on informing people and asking media to report the killing and torture of dogs and cats in China due to ignorance and greed. Equally important is to support the work of Animals Asia Foundation. In order for them to lobby effectively, they need to show the Chinese government that they have a support of many people all over the world. They collect letters which are intended for the Chinese president and present them when they think the letters will make a maximum impact. They ask the letters to the Chinese president to be polite and for a maximum lobby inside China, I believe this strategy has clear benefits. Please visit http://www.animalsasia.org/beInvolved/createChange/cc004.html Animals Asia Foundation provides sample letter and email address to which you can send the letter. Below is my letter to the president, with slight change to the sample letter to make appeal from Asian viewpoint, and a letter from Animals Asia Foundation informing me how they made the very best use of the letter. Please support Animals Asia Foundation's work to help the animals in Asia.

From police dogs who devote their boundless enthusiasm - and sometimes their lives - working tirelessly in crime prevention programs, to customs dogs who detect drugs and explosives and help in the enforcement of important regulations and legislation. Together with cats, they also help and enrich our lives as beloved companion animals and provide much needed warmth to those who are sick, elderly, - or just in need of a friend. It is Asia's custom to repay royalty with kindness and care and as a Asian I'm deeply saddened by the plight of the animals who have given us so much. We should have shown the world we are people who repay kindness and friendship with care and love. Instead we are sending out a message to the world that we are people who pay royalty and friendship with contempt and cruelty. President Jiang, we respectfully ask that you and your government give these caring and courageous animals the help they deserve. Please support the Animals Asia Foundation in their efforts towards drafting comprehensive legislation which will protect all animals from cruelty and neglect - and which will see dogs and cats embraced in China as our friends......rather than food. Yours sincerely, Yoon S Kerr Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my. Dear Friend of Animals Asia, Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write a letter to the Chinese Government encouraging a change of attitude to animals in China. Our strategy with regard to these letters that we request our supporters write, is that a) we allow the letters to accumulate until they are a sizeable (and impressive) number; b) whilst also waiting for the optimum time for presentation e.g. when we have important meetings with Chinese officials. We have found from experience that this is the best way for the letters to have maximum impact. Just such a time has just happened and I would like to let you know that your letter was presented in Beijing last week by Jill Robinson during an important meeting with the Government. Once again thank you for lending your voice calling for a better future for animals in China.
