PLEASE HELP ME END TERRIBLE CRUELTY

TO ANIMALS IN THE PHILIPPINES

 

Let me explain why I am asking for your assistance at this time.

 

You see, NETWORK for ANIMALS is tasked with enforcing laws outlawing the

slaughter of dogs for human consumption in the Philippines. As you progress

through this web site you will see what we have accomplished so far.

 

What has become clear, however, is that new, strongly punitive laws are needed.

 

Continuing our unrelenting effort to end appalling suffering we have proposed to

the Senate Agricultural Committee an amendment to The Philippine Animal Welfare

Act.

 

This amendment includes sharply increased fines and jail terms for convicted

offenders and, crucially, mandates the confiscation by the government of

vehicles used to transport the dogs.

If these vital new laws are passed, first in committee and then by parliament,

it will crush the economic viability of an evil business.

 

But we have run into a political roadblock. Our friends in Manila tell me that

we must generate an outcry in support of our proposals both internationally and

within the Philippines, before legislators will act.

 

Generating a massive outpouring of criticism of the weak laws that currently

lead to the continuance of one of the most brutal of animal cruelties needs the

support of people like you. Individuals who, like me, look at the pictures of

suffering animals and really feel their pain.

 

In another life, as founder of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, I took

on the seemingly impossible challenge of ending the annual clubbing of

tens-of-thousands of white coated, nursing baby seals in Canada. It took

nineteen years but with good and kind people like you by my side we did it. I

promise to give the same commitment to the dogs of the Philippines for all the

years I have left to me.

 

For the sake of dogs that shudder with a terrible fear as they await their turn

for death in illegal slaughterhouses, I am begging you to support this crusade

against cruelty by making a donation at this time. As well, to demonstrate

growing international outrage, please email our

message<http://www.networkforanimals.org/protest.htm> to the Philippine

ambassadors included in this web site.

P.S. What would be hugely helpful in the context of forward planning for our

international campaign of awareness of this issue would be a small monthly

donation<http://www.networkforanimals.org/donate.htm> to NETWORK for ANIMALS via

a Standing Order. Two or three pounds or more if you can afford it would really

help.
