Dear Sir / Madam,

 

We are shocked and outraged to learn that the Chongging authorities will be

confiscating and killing again pet dogs. We would like to request that you

urgently address this matter by significantly reducing the registration fees for

dogs, whilst working in conjunction with animal groups, like the Animals Asia

Foundation, to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.

 

The existing registration fee per dog and subsequent annual renewal fee, is

quite simply beyond the means of most citizens in Chongging resulting in

citizens keeping their beloved dogs illegally, and often too frightened to seek

outside help to vaccinate or de-sex them.

 

Scientific studies throughout the world have shown that keeping companion

animals gives incredible mental and physical health benefits. Pet owners are

proven to live longer and are more happy, balanced people than non-pet owners.

 

With just over 150 million pet dogs throughout China, pet ownership is booming

and it is vital that you recognise pets play an increasingly crucial role in

today's society. It is simply not possible for Chongging to achieve the status

of a modern city with such a barbaric and unrealistic attitude towards animals.

There are already numerous humane solutions to ensure that dogs and people can

co-exist peacefully and safely in the modern world and thus there is simply no

excuse for the current brutal measures being taken against dogs and their

devastated owners.

 

We implore you to immediately cease these cruel measures and introduce public

education initiatives to ensure that dogs are treated with the respect that they

deserve, so that China is in line with international standards.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

your name

MESSAGE FROM CHINA:

Dear all,

I'm writing today to report an old bad news: another large scale dog culling

is about to start on June 10 in Changshou, Chongqing. Yes, Chongqing again!

The origin was a death of a man who was bited by a black dog who believes

carried rabies virus. The man got the rabies bacterin shot immediately and

died when he got the final shot - the fifth shot. Nobody knows he died because

of the bite or the poor quality of the domestic bacterin. And nobody knows

where the black dog is now. The Changshou District Government has announced

publicly that because of the death, they're going to kill all the dogs in

Changshou

area- dogs with owner or homeless dogs. Total amount is nearly 20,000.

 

PLEASE, send petition letters to the follow fax number: +0086-23-4023 1484.

It's an automatic fax number of the Changshou District Government's office.

 

God, Buddha, please help these innocent dogs!!!
