SAMPLE LETTER

Feel free to use portions of our letter, but please add some original

thoughts. Hundreds of identical letters may lessen the impact.

 

 

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 re

sponse.

 

Thank you,
