RE: Help the dogs in Beijing please!

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Here are some links you might find helpful:

This is a post on a pet forum calling for massive transfer:

 

An English mail for Olympic Committee with Chinese translation, also a mail of

CEO of Animals Asian Foundation to the Beijing Mayor

News links from Government Medias, but they omitted the 35cm gauge!

 

To address your questions:

- do you know if China kept going on killing dogs after the last 50 000 dogs

killing?

 

Those dogs are hopelessly kept alive after being confiscated. The Beijing

government probably won't do a street slaughter but definitely will kill them

behind the public's back

 

- date of the next massive slaughter?

 

Refer to the first link, the campaign is divided into 3 stages

 

- official and unofficial reasons for it?

 

Refer to the second and third links

 

The cause of this Dog Cull in Beijing so far as I know is: some famous scholars

who hate dogs wrote a petition saying that keep pets like dogs are bad habit and

this has caused a lot of accidents and troubles, and imperil the public. They

appeal for forbiddance.

 

And most of the medias under the control of governments are also preach the

disadvantages of dogs at the public. The government even stopped the pet pages

of the newspapers and channels of TVs

 

- any connection with the next olympic games?

 

Not very sure. Haven't found the official article exactly relating that yet.

Re: [!! SPAM] Help the dogs in Beijing please!

 

Hello,

Let's do an example of letter and forward it for a massive cyber action.

I will try to do sthg still today but i need sb to correct my english.

If so wants also to write his own letter, no problem. Please send a copy on the

present list.

In the meantime, can sb get the email addresses of beijing municipality as well

as the chinese executives.

We can also try to inform the international animal protection organizations.

Do you think that informing our national newspapers will help?

 

For the letter, i need a few info :

- do you know if China kept going on killing dogs after the last 50 000 dogs

killing?

- date of the next massive slaughter?

- official and unofficial reasons for it?

- any connection with the next olympic games?

 

Please give your sources.

Any expert report, photo, video highly appreciated.

 

I will launch a new website beginning of next year about dogs killing in China

for meat consumption, fur etc (with a surprising connection with the olympic

games). Please do not hesitate to send me any graphic or written material free

of rights.

To whom it might concern,

 

I can not help raving about what is happening and is going to happen

in Beijing, the city of Olympic Game 2008.

 

The government of Beijing city, scolding there are too many dogs in

the city which caused a lot accidents like biting, rabies(only 7

cases reported in the past year in Beijing, and 5 were from outside

of the city), disturbing neighbors, staining the grass and vehicles,

ect., has started its cruel 2-month campaign to seize, kill the dogs

who have already been lived with a lot of Beijing families¡¯ and have

been their best friends, family members, darling pets.

 

Such dog slaughter had been once about twenty years ago in Beijing,

and happened in some cities of ShanDong and YunNan Province too in

July-August this year.Lost of families are still suffering the pain

of losing their beloved friends.

 

Dogs shouldn¡¯t be the objectives of punishment. They are innocent.

Yet the government is too inefficient to improve and strengthen the

regulation and the animal welfare systems. Instead they are going

extremes.

 

This time they do not only focus on those without registration, but

also those big dogs (in specified central zones) like Golden

Retriever, Labrador, Siberian Husky, etc., whose height exceed 35cm.

How ridiculous the gauge they set, they treat all big dogs as harmful

creatures.

 

The dogs will be confiscated and their futures are doom. Please be

noticed there are no animal asylums run by the government. So far,

773 dogs have been taken away from their families by the local

police¡¯s special task teams.

 

I am not exaggerating, this is true and the 2nd stage of house call

checking will take place from Nov. 7, 2006.

 

Although I am not living Beijing, I can not stand any more. I have

cats, I can feel the pain of those families every time I saw the news

of China Central TV1, TV2, etc. (the Chinese government¡¯s media).

They took the dogs, whose eyes full of tears. Put them on a truck,

leaving the heart broken parents running, crying behind.

 

I am writing this letter calling for any possible overseas consensus.

China is not an effective democratic country, people¡¯s voice are so

powerless. So far as I know some people there are planning a

protesting parade. But we can not expect too much on that. We need

voices abroad. Your help in what ever ways will be much appreciated

by those Chinese people who love small animals very much.

 

Please help us, please be quick.

 

Bless you all

 

A cat and dog lover in Shanghai

Dear all,

 

 

 

Thank you so much for your efforts made to help the dogs and those

distressed dog lovers in Beijing.

 

 

 

Here is another link I found other advocate's action site in the States,

which includes more email links to try:

 

http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/share_detail/68/213855

 

 

 

Besides, those confiscated dogs wouldn't be allow to live for long,

albeit the government this time didn't show too much cruelty in front of

the media when they took away the dogs. And some news even said the

police are feeding them. But think about that there is no government run

asylum in this country and how could they afford to raise that many dogs

forever?

 

The government this time is not going to leave any pictures because they

become dodgy after the international condemnation in Aug this year. Some

indicated that the poor dogs will be transferred to some other place

then killed and the meat will be sold! (at bottom of the article)

Right, other place away from the media, more than likely, killed in a most

horrendous way.

Greetings,

 

What can we do as caring individuals not living in China? I'm a US resident

but like many compassionate people I care about the welfare of all animals. I

have tried to share information as much as possible about the situation in

China with the dogs and the inhumane treatment. I have written to the Chinese

embassy and encouraged others to do the same. I have also sent letters to some

Chinese authorities through organizations such as HSUS. Whenever possible, I

also forward pertinent information to such organizations. I hope that some

of these actions have made a difference.
