The Issue

 

Dear Mr President
We need a animal protection laws in China !

Thousands of dogs are crowded together and denied proper food, water and veterinary care as, bewildered and terrified, they wait to die.

Thousands of dogs, many of them stolen pets, are captured and transported over long distances under horrific conditions to Yulin, a city in China’s Guangxi Autonomous Region.

There, they’re held in crowded cages without food or water until they are killed. Often, they are beaten and their throats are slit in front of other terrified animals. Most Chinese citizens reject this practice, and we’re committed to supporting them in ending the festival in actuality.

Last year 2016 , thanks to overwhelming international pressure, Yulin authorities announced that they would not support the festival.

The result was a subdued event and fewer dogs slaughtered than the previous two years. More recently, the authorities have claimed that the festival won't happen this year, but the dog meat traders will continue to stage the event with or without official endorsement.

Please sign our petition now to urge the Yulin authorities to intervene and end mass dog slaughter in the name of a festival.

Thanks for the time to read and take action !
