Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 FYI ¹ØÓÚ´Ó°²»Õ͵Ô˵½¹ãÖݲÍ×ÀÉϵÄ840Ö»¿ÉÁ¯µÄè¡£ 840 cats had been caught in Shanghai. They were delivering to Guangdong's restaurants A truck was kept by some animals' protectors in Shanghai on 6th July, 07. 840 cats were found in this truck. They were kept in forty-two small bamboo boxes. Some of them were dead and the others were dying of hot weather, no food and water. They were delivering to Guangdong and would be sold to local restaurants. The animals' protectors from a website---bbs.movshow.com---called the police. The drivers showed a legal health quarantine document, so the police said they could not detain this truck for a long time. The drivers told the protectors if they wanted these cats, they had to buy them, about $2 US dollars each. And they also said everyday a truck full of cats, like theirs, went to Guangdong. That means nearly 1,000 cats are sold to restaurants. All these cats were dead on the way or dead on dinner tables. Cats and snakes soup is a popular dish in Guangdong. The materials are lost and stray cats and wild snakes. The animals' protectors in Shanghai and Beijing are trying to feed cats around city, desexing them and help them being adopted for years. Until this morning, some cats had been bought by these protectors. However, 840 is a big number. Unfortunately, protectors had been refused by local press. Protectors released widely this news on internet and organized a donation for these poor cats. They hope to get help from HongKong and oversea press. Ridiculous !! This should be brought up to the People's Congress. Uncivilised !!! -David Wong- * " ...The police there said they had no right to save these cats, so animal protectors have to buy these cats themselves. All the local news also refused to report this story. ... " * ** ** The following story is what I was told happening in China. As a cat lover, I hope you can let public know this terrible tragedy and then the cats might get some help. 840 kitties were struggling for survive! Animal protectors at Shanghai, China stopped a truck on July 6, 2007. Forty two cages, each of which has about 20 cats and kittens inside, were found in the truck. Some cats were dead and some were dying. These cats were selling to restaurants at Guangdong province, China, as meals. Some of the cats still have collar with them and should have been somebody's beloved pets. The police there said they had no right to save these cats, so animal protectors have to buy these cats themselves. All the local news also refused to report this story.

Not only 840, there are thousands upon thousands cats in China need your help! We are a group of Chinese people love cats and work on cats' protection permanently. But there has no any of the legal statute in China enacted to protect cats, and we don't have any strong backgrounds. Though the work of protection is very difficult at all time, we never give up. Yesterday night, in countryside of Shanghai, we had a battle. A battle with cats mongers. We blocked a truck, and there were 840 cats on the truck! All of them were crowding in 42 small wood boxes; each box at least had 20 cats inside! Temperature these days in Shanghai is about 40 degrees, cats were meow painfully, some of them had died, and some of them paralyzed, some of the agazed mother cats aborted¡ These cats were carried from Anhui to Guangdong, some of them were stole from families, and some of them were wide. If we didn't find them timely, they would be ended on the tables soon and their coats would be sold after machining. We called polices, we tangled with the mongers, but polices couldn't help, and the mongers didn't agree to dropt the cats except to pay them money. They asked RMB 15 (2 USD dollars) per each. We know that seems unbelievable, but it is true! Finally, after one night striving, without any other solutions, one of zealot paid. The 840 cats were survived, but before this truck, there had been already 5 trucks escaped. We won't know the actual number of the cats on the trucks¡ Now the 840 cats have been survived, but they don't have place to go! If we let them be, they will come to a sticky end, maybe will die by starvation, and maybe will be caught again by cat's mongers. So now, we could only leave them in the boxes until we could find a good place to arrange them. We would like to ask help from international organizations who could help those poor cats in China, they don't have any legal protection here, and they don't have subsistence guarantees here. Cats are the fairies confer by God, we hope every cats could have fortunate lives. Please help us!!!!! We are looking forward to hearing from you! Sincerely yours Chinese Cats protection volunteers Pictures of scene: Boxes of cribbing the cats Demounted the first box Demounting the boxes Watering and using fans to cool down temperature Demounted the last box Taking care of cats beside road ------------------------------ oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. -- Sarah M.
