Please help protest China dog cull

 

 

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:

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! You can read more:

Thank you so much for caring about our best friends in China and for joining

the urgent call to help - together we can help the people there who

desperately love their dogs, but are living a perpetual nightmare that they

will soon be taken away and killed.

 

Warm wishes,

Jill
