[anti-dogmeat] Let's fight like hell - China has to be accountable for

Changshou

 

 

I just forwarded this letter + my intro to my senator

 

Dear Senator ___ :

I am in touch with Animal Rights activists in China

who are trying to take pictures of a dog massacre that

is taking place in Changshou. The goverment decided to

kill __all__ the dogs in the city.

I think this is not about just pets - it is about

human rights. I am asking you to help - please,

forward my email to a someone in the US goverment who

will be willing to take a look at the China as a human

rights abuser.

Thank you very much in advance.
