>=====================================================

>

>Dear Mayor Mr. Wang Qishan and Honorable Officials of the People's Republic of

China:

>

>I am shocked Beijing, China's capital and host of the 2008 Olympic Games, will

slaughter large-breed dogs, unregistered dogs, and smaller dogs who exceed the

one dog per family quota. The world has not forgotten the recent death sweep of

Chuxiong in Yunnan province. More than 50,000 dogs were viciously beaten, hung,

electrocuted or poisoned. Some companion animals out walking with families were

forcibly taken and clubbed on the spot. Others were defenseless strays, ambushed

at night.

>

>Now, guardians in Beijing fear for their dogs' lives. These reactive mass culls

have proven incapable of curbing stray populations or inhibiting disease

outbreaks. I implore the Beijing municipal government to respect its own

citizens, as well as those around the world, who regard companion dogs as family

members. Certainly authorities in a modern city can devise non-violent means to

handle animal-human health concerns.

>

>Please recognize the growing number of Chinese households with companion

animals. Some who opt to remain childless, or aged citizens who live alone, view

dogs as companions or " children. " Saint Bernards, Golden Retrievers and other

large breed dogs are gentle giants who commonly assist blind or special-needs

people. The animal-human bond is based in love and trust.

>

>On the other hand, the government is responsible for environment and disease

control. Perhaps officials can implement a more effective and stable strategy.

Other communities have successfully contained lupomania through vaccination or

the de-sexing of dogs. I urge you to initiate a non-lethal plan that includes

public access to low-cost vaccination, spay/neuter programs, and humane

education.

>

>As you know, news of Chinese dog killings speeds across the internet and global

press. Individuals and organizations worldwide are outraged by accounts of

officers who corner barking dogs and puppies and beat them until dead. The media

has condemned this crude form of " disease prevention " -- especially when

diseases such as rabies and lupomania can be managed through inoculation and a

network of human health, animal health and municipal

>agencies.

>

>Once again, I respectfully ask Chinese officials to make enforceable animal

protection laws a priority before the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. You can begin by

replacing dog massacres with humane and scientific tactics to control lupomania

transmission. Please foster a culture of responsible guardianship and disease

prevention.

>

>If Beijing's brutal extermination of dogs begins on November 7, 2006, it will

irreversibly shame China and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. I await your

response.

>Thank you,
