[ARC] A message from Portugal , Europe for animals protection

 

 

Dear all,

 

I would like to invite all of you to join my online group that is dedicated to

help animal groups in China. I started this group last year, and with help of

many members, we have successfully helped several rescuers in China, in Beijing

and Shanghai. I have a page on my website (which is not quite updated for lack

of time) that gives you an idea of the work we are trying to do to help animals

in China. I am happy to report that this group is rapidly reaching credibility.

I would like to invite all of you to join us online to share your experiences as

well as help us brainstorm ways to better help with the small resources that are

available to each one of us:

http://pets.People4ChineseAnimals/

 

I will be sending each one of you, an invitation to join to make it easier on

you.

 

Hope to see all in the group, so we can together help our animal friends in

China.

That is the sad truth. There are right now many humane societies working to

change that. These animal welfare societies were hardly known a few years ago,

but they are mushrooming in all the major cities in China.

 

The way to help include suggest EU (if you have any connection) to push China to

impose to adopt more international acceptable humanitarian standards and try to

connect that with importing agricultural products from China.

 

You can of course also provide financial support to the groups working within

China to gradually change that. Compared with most EU countries, China is a

century behind but the change is coming and clearly the coming is accelerating.

 

Sincerely,

[ARC] FW: A message from Portugal , Europe for animals protection

 

 

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Portugal is a small country in Europe where I live.

 

I´m a member of several associations here which protect animals.

 

The most important action of these associations is taking care of animals from

the streets were they were abandoned, are hungry and sick.

 

There are a lot of families that find a pet on this associations to take home

and to love.

 

Of course we also protect them from other cruel acts but fortunately, we do not

include pets on our meals.

 

I know that we have to be aware of differences between cultures and countries

all around the world.

 

But we are living on the XXI century and it is hard to see what is happening in

such developed one as China.

 

Unfortunately, if People don´t respect each other, how can they respect an

animal?

 

Please find in attachment a video that has reached Portugal.

 

I apologize for the confidence but I have cried for long hours after seeing such

cruel images.

 

It is hard to be so far away knowing that I can´t take any action to help such

innocence animals.

 

Is your association aware of this acts? Can you help them in any way?

 

I would be very happy to have a reply of this mail.

 

Do not consider this as an offense to your country. I can tell you ,for

instance, that my father´s wife is Chinese and is living in Portugal.

 

We respect your community here.

 

Thank you in advance. Please also accept my congratulations for your

association´s work.

 

Regards,

 

 

Sonia Costa
