RE¡G Answer : RE:olympic committee will take it back and give it to second runner up? is it true????? anyone knows?????

[Guest guest]

dhartig »¡¡G hi

 

I wrote to the IOC yesterday (adresses:

http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/213855; and via web form here

http://www.olympic.org/uk/utilities/registration_uk.asp?prm_action=req) on the

matter and am awaiting their reply.

 

Here's the letter I sent:

 

*******************************************************************

 

I should like to be informed about the stance the Olympic Comittee takes aka

conditions like the below described at the scene of the Olympics 2008 at

Beijing, and whether or not the Olympic Comittee sees itself in a position of

responsibility towards such conditions and their obvious opposition to Olympic

values:

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

as you no doubt are aware the Chinese Government - in preparation for the 2008

Olympics in Beijing - has started an extermination campaign targeted at the

stray dog and cat population only a few days ago.

This is similar to what has already happened in Greece in the run-up to the

Olympics in Athens several years ago - and criticism of the large scale

poisonings and shootings was widespread then. Thy Olympic Comittee, quite

capable of interfering and demanding an end to such little becoming and

uncivilized behaviour (especially in light of the high values represented by the

Games) unfortunately did nothing to help the situation, and so thousands of

animals perished.

 

What we are facing with Beijing however, is of another scale and order

completely.

China has sadly made itself a name in extreme cruelty to animals - regular news

footage on TV and the Internet shows us poultry (Bird Flu) buried and burned

alive, fur animals skinned while fully conscious and trashing for their lives,

hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats transported to slaughter crammed in tiny

wire cages to be subsequently either strangled for their skins or boiled alive

for food, etc.

The list is endless. But the conditions are well-known and thoroughly

documented.

 

Needless to say really, the rounding up and killing of cats and dogs now taking

place in and around Beijing is of a sort that would turn the strongest stomach

and wrench the hardest heart.

And it is THIS foundation of blood and tears that the shining pinnacle of

civilized Olympic values will stand on. It is indeed the gleaming marble statue

with feet of clay .. it is doomed to topple and fall.

 

I beg you urgently therefore to, finally, take a stand against these

inhumanities - they soil the image of the Olympic Games, they shame all of us

who look on and let it happen !

Let not the Athletes and the world converge 2008 on this place that has seen

such indescribable horrors as happen this minute while you read this mail.

 

The Olympic Comittee has a responsibility towards the values represented by the

Games - justice and equality towards all nations, fairness and civilized

behaviour - afforded not only people, but all living beings.

 

The Chinese Government must understand that tolerance for such conduct goes only

so and so far. Beijing will be hosting an International event that will not

reflect only on itself, the Chinese people and what they do in their own country

- but will have repercussions worldwide and be viewed and judged far and wide

all across the globe.

 

Let the Olympic Comittee be a leader in making the 2008 Olympics an occasion to

celebrate for all - to celebrate a compassionate and enlightened Humanity that

needs not fear its own shadow. Let not the way to sporting fairness be paved

with the lives of so many Innocent .. again.

 

Ask, I beg you, the Chinese and Beijing Authorities to immediately abandon their

" cleaning campaign " and opt for a humane solution to the problem. Many Humane

societies worldwide, as well as on location in China and Beijing are only

waiting to assist.

 

Please give them and the animals a sporting chance !

 

Sincerely,

 

Diana Hartig

 

****************************************************

 

It will be interesting to know their position on the matter and whether or not

they intend to act. They did not with Athens .. quite frankly I do not think

they will here either ...

 

Best wishes,

Diana
