Urgent
Petition for Chongqing Dog cull
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/440348024
Note
Action Against Poisoning:
We
have a Chinese anti-rabies culling of dogs - vaccinated pets
included - on an unprecedented scale.
It obviously eludes the responsible policy makers that only human
neglect and incompetence caused the problem.
Why is human failure revenged on innocent animals? We cannot
fathom the drive for such utterly inhuman behaviour.
Although we are aware of the fact that footage and images of the
atrocities are horrific and depressing, we keep them accessible as
they evoke the action to stop this large scale animal cruelty in
China.
PLEASE
WRITE
Protest letter to China/ Protestbrief nach China
Date: June 10, 2007
Dear
all,
The
current situation is truly desperate for the dogs in Chongquing,
but please don't forget that it is never too late to take action.
We still can stop it, we can maybe prevent that 20 000
dogs are killed, we still can try to save the lives of
some, when you keep sending letters to the Chinese authorities.
If you don't have a fax machine, please send your letters for
the Chinese authorities to Lesley
ssdalrescue@gmail.com,
she will be happy to send them to Chongquing for you. You can of
course write in your own words, but if you don't have time to, then
use this letter below or the sample letter that I sent you the
other day. Thank you so much for your support, I would
appreciate much if you could help.
Liebe
Leute,
Die
geplante Hundeabschlachtung soll heute richtig beginnen, aber bitte
nicht vergessen, dass es nie zu spät ist, wir konnten bei der
Abschlachtung in Chongqing im Frühjahr noch ein rechtzeitiges
Ende bewirken, weil viele von uns so fleißig an die chinesischen
Regierung/Behörden geschrieben hatten. Also es ist nie
auszuschließen, dass sie den Plan doch ändern. Im Moment sieht die
Situation ziemlich schlecht aus, also bitte schickt die Briefe,
heute noch, und wenn ihr kein Faxgerät habt, bitte schickt Eure
Briefe an Lesley
ssdalrescue@gmail.com ,
sie würde ALLE Briefe, die sie sammeln konnte, per Fax nach
Chongqing schicken.
Ihr
könnt natürlich mit den eigenen Worten schreiben, aber wenn die
Zeit zu knapp ist, bitte verwendet den Brief unten oder den anderen
Brief, den ich Euch vor 3 Tagen geschickt habe. Bitte macht mit,
die Zeit läuft uns davon, die Tiere brauchen unsere Stimmen. Vielen
Dank für Eure Unterstützung.
Miwa
Honorable Government
Officials,
I am stunned the Changshou District government intends to kill some
20,000
dogs in the city of Chongqing. I understand officials will initiate
another
anti-rabies sweep on June 10, 2007 -- despite proof that
rigorous
vaccination programs inhibit disease transmission far more
effectively than
gratuitous slaughter.
I implore authorities to cancel this and any future dog massacres.
Please
devise a long-term rabies prevention and inoculation system in
cooperation
with municipal health agencies. Reactive mass culls are a crude
response to
a complex issue and ultimately do little to curb stray populations
or stop
disease outbreak.
Furthermore, I respectfully ask authorities to reduce caretaker
registration
fees for dogs. Current cost per dog, along with annual renewal
fees, make
legal registration of dogs too cost-prohibitive for most
Chongqing
residents. Consequently, many illegally harbor cherished dogs and
neglect to
vaccinate or spay/neuter them due to fear of discovery.
China's ongoing clampdown on strays and unregistered pets generates
negative
publicity worldwide. Global media persistently condemns mass culls.
People
are outraged by accounts of officers poisoning, beating or
electrically
shocking dogs until dead. If the brutal extermination continues, it
will
irreversibly shame China and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Please recognize the growing number of Chinese households with
companion
animals. Some who opt to remain childless, or aged citizens who
live alone,
view dogs as companions or "children."
I ask authorities to foster a culture of responsible guardianship,
disease
prevention, and humane education in keeping with 21st century
animal welfare
principles.
I respectfully await your reply,
Your
name
Your country

Dear friends,
I have good news and bad news for you. Let's have
the bad
news first-
Wanzhou.
I know how much you care about the dogs there. Here's the report:
For the whole
day today, I've been watching closely about the every development
there. I called
the different government departments,the Wanzhou District top boss
(Wanzhou is
under Chongqing), the volunteers and local AAF rep... From what
I've learnt,
the government has conceded to agree that as long as the dog with
owner has been
given the anti-rabies bacterin injection, they won't be killed, at
least at the
moment. After the local newspaper reported that, so many people
have taken their
dogs to get the injection, especially today because it's the
deadline. These dogs
are safe for now, thanks greatly to all your hard working and
efforts - you made
them had to think twice before they put their hands to these dogs.
So shall we
say our efforts are not in vain?
When it comes to the homeless dogs it's a different story. Even
this morning when
I talked to one official, he repeated the same story that I've
heard many times
- they'll catch them and put them together, observe them then to
see if they carry
the rabies virus. If they do, they'll be killed in the humane way.
I kept asking
about the "humane way" and finally they told me it'll be "electric
shot" death.
The morning pasted in a raletively peaceful way. Mr. Chen Mingcai,
President of
Chongqing Small Animal Protection Association, who's been in
Wanzhou for many days
trying to work out a solution and even offered to take all the
homeless dogs away
with him to Chongqing and build a shelter for them. He won't ask
for a penny from
the government. But his offer was denied by the governemnt because
there's a "law"
issued in 2003 - the SARS year - which ordering that once the
rabies epidemic
situation happened, all dogs living in the range of 3 sq.km should
be killed
immediately without exceptions. Mr. Chen organized a team of
volunteers to walk
around the city closely. They've caught or save a few dozens of
homeless dogs
and transferred them in a safe place to hide. At 4 pm, Chen told me
that a video
cameraman who's sent by an animal lover from Beijing, was arrested
when he shot
the policement killing a homeless dog right in the street and the
volunteers trying
to grab back the second dog the policemen were going to kill. By 6
pm, he told me
the cameraman was freed but what he shot was washed - very likely
the only video
witness of the whole blooding scenes. What a pity and lost! So the
government hasn't
kept their words and started the bloody killing exactly according
to their plan.
Let's pray for their poor souls, my friends...
Now
the good news:
Animals Asia Foundation has approved my proposal about
setting
up an Emergency Aid Station for the Rescued Tianjin Cats as a
special project of
their "Friends or food" program. Though the fund is limited, but
I'm more than
happy to have the chance to save more cats in my own way - the way
I think is
right and best for the cats. So friends, please congratulate me
after so many sad,
bad, troubled news....And the best thing is now you can officially
send your kind
donation directly to AAF's account in so many countries online!
Here's the info:
Please go to their website: http://www.animalsasia.org/ , the click the "Donate
and shop", then you'll be on the page of
http://www.animalsasia.org/index.php?module=1&menupos=2&lg=en,
click "Donate &
shop" online and then "Bank
Transfer"
Please do remember to send a note to info@animalsasia.org about your donation info and indicate
it's
for "Emergency Aid Station for the Rescued Tianjin Cats". Then your
donation will be transferred to me.
I hope it won't be too much trouble for you.
One question: Shall I tell every supporter who's been donated via
Animal People to use AAF's channel
now or better wait for a while or you can tell them about that?
Which way is better? Please do advise.
It's time for me to prepare for tomorrow's action- we're going to
take more sick cats from the current
crowded hospitals and transfer them to better ones. So bye for
now!
Deeply thanks and love,
zhang dan

Dear
Sir/Madam,
I am a common citizen of Beijing, China. I’d like to tell you
something terrible happened now in Beijing. On the large scale, The
Chinese government is slaughtering dogs who has not certificates or
who are just taller than 35 centimeters. The government has
organized policemen and special dog-killing teams to arrest or kill
dogs on the spot wherever they find the dog in the city. Many dogs
have been hit to death on the street. Some of them were hung on the
trees and were whipped to death. Some of others were caught and
closed into suffocating dogs’ concentrating camps to wait for
execution. Everyday these bloody slaughter scenes are on play in
every place of China. As the capital of China, Beijing is the worst
place for dogs. From November 6, 2006, The policemen of Beijing are
going to break into common people’s houses who have large dogs or
no-certificate’s dogs at home. The dogs will be caught and be taken
to the dogs’ concentrating camp and wait for execution. And this is
the real situation we have to accept.
And now please allow me to tell you why these dogs have not
certificates. Basically, there are 2 reasons: First, Some owners
can not afford the expensive fee for dog’s certificate. Take
Beijing for instance, Fee for the first year is RMB1000, And RMB500
for every year from the second year on. As you know, China is still
a developing country, not each family can afford the charge.
Second, For those dogs taller than 35 centimeters, our government
refuse to give them ID card. So-called reason is they are tall and
perhaps make people scared. Their ban is aim at all of large dogs
including all the mild-tempered and few-barked ones such as golden
retrievers, Labrador dogs and Scotland shepherds, etc.
The strongest explanation of Chinese government’s about their
killing of dogs is: Dog will spread canine madness. However,
everybody knows that canine madness is entirely different from SARS
and bird’s flu. It’s preventable through bacterin injection to dogs
and can be remedied by bacterin injection to human beings. In
China, only those dogs who have certificates can be injected the
bacterin for free every year. Whereas many large dogs’ owners, just
like us, take our dogs to pet hospitals for injection by ourselves.
Actually, most of cases of canine madness appeared in the rural
areas of China. Just because our government has not tried its best
on canine madness’ prevention and has not accurate management on
dogs, many people ignore the danger and do not prevent illness by
means of injection in time, especially for peasants. Those owners
whose dogs bit other people can easily avoid punishment if they run
away or disavow they are owners. All of these lead to the tragic .
Just let’s think，if
the government inject bacterin for all of dogs for free in China
every year, undoubtedly, the number of ailing dogs must be greatly
reduced. If the government permit all the dogs get certificates and
ask all of them should tie the ID cards on , I believe nobody will
avoid punishment any more since people will get the owner’s
information through the card. Why don’t our government choose a
reasonable way to control the disease? Why do they just kill these
innocent animals by incredible cruel way? It’s human beings’ fault,
but not dogs’.
I was born in the seventies. When I was still a little girl, my
parents told me dogs are out best friends. But today in China, in
the 21st century, most of parents only tell their children the dog
is dangerous, so keep away from them anytime. Because of unilateral
publicizing by the Chinese government and all kinds of media, more
and more people are misled. I just want to say, the dog is still
our friend, they are not virus, they are not dangerous. They will
always bring us pure love and soul’s peace. Perhaps they are just a
kind of pet to owners, but the owners means a whole world to them.
Dogs’ life is quite short, maybe only 11 or 12 years. Why don’t we
make them happy and peaceful? When I chatted with a foreign friend,
he told me nobody put the dog into cage because that means
disrespect in his country. The dog is not humble in many countries
except China. They are not regarded as food either except China. I
think dogs are different from many other animals not only because
they have emotion and very intimate to their owners, but also they
never betray. Many of us can hardly do this, don’t we?
I have many friends who have dogs in Beijing. Some of them belong
to DINK families. Some others are old people who live alone. They
love their dogs very much because the dog means one member of
families always accompany with them. Undoubtedly, killing the dog
must be hurtful and terrible to them. The dog bring them entire joy
and comfort. These owners love their dogs just like love their own
children. But why? Why does the government plan to
slaughter??
I wrote several letters to our government. I asked for mercy for
the innocent animals. Eventually, nobody gave me answer. So I have
to write to you. People said the slaughter will be cruel more and
more before the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. But why? Is there
any relations between Olympic Games and killing dogs??
So dear officers, please help us. Please stop the cruel inhumanity
towards animals in China. We are willing to do anything cooperate
with our government if they won’t kill animals at random. Our
government should punish those owners who have uncivilized behavior
during their keeping dogs in actual life. Remember the punishment
must be accepted by people, but not dogs. Everybody knows it’s not
dogs’ fault.
My dog, a 2-year-old golden retriever, named Happy, She is a very
soft and good-tempered girl. My friend sent her to me just 50 days
after her birth. Just like treat our own child, My husband and I
give her all our love. We take her to the pet hospital to inject
relative bacterin for her every year. We never take her out for a
walk during the daytime for not disturbing other people. Usually we
take her out at 5:30 in the morning and after 10:00 in the evening.
As a matter of fact, Happy almost never run in the sun. She never
bark just like all of golden retrievers. She loves my slippers and
always lie on them and snore aloud. My honey Happy, a real cute and
lovely girl, will be killed by our government. Why? How can I
understand? From yesterday on, I dare not to take her out, because
outside is dangerous. I can read the expression in her eyes, but I
have not any other ways. I’d rather lock her in the house, but not
see her arrested and killed by people. To be honest, if any
policeman want to break into my house and take her away, I’m not
sure what I will do. It’s just the same as rob my own child away to
me. I believe I will hold a stick or a kitchen knife in the face of
them .
Dear officers, perhaps you have got a little news about Chinese
slaughter towards dogs, but you
never imagine how terrible it is now. Many of owners who have mild
large dogs at home in Beijing just like me can not keep quiet any
more. We have decided to get together outside the gate of Zoo of
Beijing on the November 11, 2006. The theme of our assembly will
be: Object to the limit of 35 centimeters towards dogs and condemn
the uncivilized dogs’ owners.
If you can understand our feeling, if you hope to support us, help
us please. Please help all of poor
dogs live in China. Please make your efforts to persuade the
Chinese government to change their cruel policy towards animals. I
really love my motherland. I am proud of my country because the
2008 Olympic Games will be held here. But if that means death to
innocent lives, please don’t come.
On behalf of all of virtuous Chinese people , on behalf of
innocent and helpless animals and their owners, on behalf
righteousness of human beings, please help us, please help us,
please help us.
