Photo dog breeders must see

In 2000 Sirius began its campaign to stop the exportation of dogs to China

due to the heartless trade in dog meat and fur. Regretably some dog breeders

have ignored our pleas and continue to send dogs there, claiming that

because they are valuable pedigrees, they have good and loving homes waiting

for them.

 

Whether it is made cynically or in ignorance, this claim is false.

 

In June 2008 an advert for a Chinese-made bed appeared on TradeMe, a New

Zealand version of eBay, with a sickening photo. Although not as gory as

some that we in the campaign to end dog-eating have seen, it is chilling in

its portrayal of " mans best friend " as a commodity that can be killed for

the most superficial of reasons.

 

We have uploaded the photo to http://sirius.2kat.net/dogsforfur.html#55 and

ask you to urge any dog breeders or kennel owners you may know to see it, or

just forward this e-mail to them. It utterly gives the lie to Chinese

importers claims that dogs sent to that country can expect anything other

that a cruel and meaningless death.

 

We know that there are unscrupulous puppy millers who won't give a damn and

certainly won't be stopped by this image. Whatever your views of breeders

may be, we also know that there are others who genuinely care about the

animals they are responsible for. Show them the photo and ask " Is this what

you want for your dogs? "
