Sending dogs to China

WE have had more reports of people wanting to buy dogs to send to China as pets

and showdogs - especially the collie, border collie, samoyed, Bernese mountain

dogs, Newfoundland and St Bernard type breeds. Please do not take these

inquiries as legitimate, even if they come from " sweet old Kiwi couples " . Any

dogs sold to these people (and I am ashamed to say some New Zealanders have

abandoned any morality they may have had and joined forces with scumbag dealers

in the pursuit of money offered) are destined for the dog skin, fur and meat

markets.

By law the Chinese people may not own or import any dog over 12 inches high as a

pet or for show. Larger dogs are usually smuggled over the borders in atrocious

conditions piled high in cages on trucks and usually there are losses to heat

and sickness with no water or food available.

If they make the trip alive they go straight to the dealers where they are

either processed straight away or kept to breed from for a while before being

processed.

If there are any breeders out there who have been pressured to sell their dogs

for sending to China as " pets " please email me with as many details as you can

remember: editor or inquire through the SPCA or the Kennel

Club.
