[AntiFurSociety] BEIJING CAT ROUNDUP

 

 

I get a lot of questions about the Chinese cruel actions against the pure

souls we call " animals, " and more so now with the cat roundup for the

Olympics. Here's one of my rushed answers since my time goes 100% to " hands

on " help rather than philosophizing about what it all means on the scheme of

things.

 

===========================

 

Dear ........

 

I just heard from one of the people I work with in Beijing about the

grassroots groups that are becoming united to speak with the Chinese

government to offer them to help to " solve " the cat problem. NOT a word of

criticism or things will get worse. I am also waiting to hear from others

there so I can send them aid to help the animals.

On emails to your listings, please emphasize the need to people in China so

they can help the animal's cause, rather than make horrible criticisms to

the Chinese government because it will only make things worse for all

involved, specially the animals.

 

About the dog killing for food in China and indeed many other Asian

countries-- It is NO news to the media no more or less than the horrific

Chinese fur farms where animals alive are even skinned alive. The media

does not broadcast about it anymore mainly because it does not sell

newspapers, and the Media is supported by animal abusers (meat industry,

pharmaceutical, dairy, etc etc etc) so these are things (dirt) they throw

under the carpet.

 

It is good that many people keep writing to the media so they know people

out there are upset about it, they may even publish one thing here another

but that's all we can hope for.

 

About relying on a BOYCOTT TO CHINA is another futile attempt because only

AR people will join a boycott and we are such a small minority that it is

like a flea on the elephant. Just take a trip to WalMart and you see what

I'm talking about. Everyone is flocking to Beijing for the Olympics, and

the list goes on.

 

Based on this realization, last year I began working with animal people in

China to help them help themselves. Trust me, there are VERY kind people in

China who need our help so they can grow strong enough to help the animals

and also attract more people to do so.

 

Finally, YES, we should keep informing the public and forwarding the

information to heavens and earth and encourage people to actually help

animal people in China. Animals in China will never stand a chance if

Chinese people within China do not begin to reject animal cruelty.

 

Honestly, I am fast walking away from those groups that are out there only

to go ranting in bouts of rage against China, calling names etc. and do not

move one finger to help. It only makes things worse for animals and brings

a bad name to AR people who are sincerely trying to help. "
