OUR LETTERS TO CHINA WORKED!!!!!

 

 

Dear all,

 

Regarding the Wanzhou dog culling, Mr. Chen, President of Chongqing

Small Animal Protection Association told me that so far no new killing

has been found - except for the first day -Mar.16. He and his volunteer

team estimated that almost 30 homeless dogs were killed with billy and

knives (one volunteer's back was chopped at but no danger) and about the

same number of homeless dogs were rescued by Mr XXXX and his team. I

respect them a lot for they've been thus far and won't leave until the

whole cull is completely over. So in brief, I think your letters worked

a lot indeed!

 

You all know about how many dogs were killed in Yunnan Muding and

Shandong Jining last year. Compare with that, Wanzhou is much much

better. We'll work with other animal rights groups in China to work out

a pre-warning solution: next time when something similar happened, what

shall we do? what can we do? is that possible that we can do together

instead of as individuals or a single group? We're thinking of organize

a China Animal Welfare Protection Union or something like that. And your

help and support is really important - because the government more or

less will have to consider the " international influence " of the event.

 

So please save all your letters and signings. All of them can be used

next time - just need to changethe title of the city, county or

province's name.

This is part of the latest email I got from China, and I would like to

point out a couple of good things:

------

 

1) OUR LETTERS TO CHINA WORKED!!!!!

It looks like the dog culling was a lot less disgraceful than they were

claiming it would be! YAY!!!!! BIG THANKS to all who wrote to the

Chinese government!

 

2) I have been encouraging my contact in China to think about expanding

her work and involving more animal groups so they can become a stronger

voice, and this may be happening...!
