China Animal Welfare DOWNING STREET PETITION

by Pam
(UK)

A silver fox. Animals who are skinned alive take up to ten minutes to die.

A silver fox. Animals who are skinned alive take up to ten minutes to die.

Please can you support a DOWNING STREET PETITION which is currently on the Downing Street site?

It's to ask the UK government to pressure the Chinese government to introduce animal welfare legislation. It is only up for a few weeks.

The sort of cruelty we are talking about includes
skinning animals for their fur WHILE STILL CONSCIOUS. Beating cats and dogs to death with clubs, as the stress 'makes their meat more tender. Placing animals in appalling conditions in meat markets. Feeding live animals to predators in zoos to entertain the general public!

There is evidence that the pressure is just beginning to have some effect. For example, the Chinese have had to introduce a new character to their language to say 'animal rights' because they got fed up with having to write a whole sentence every time this was mentioned.

I am sorry top upload a distressing picture, but I need to explain why we are doing this, and I am sure you will agree that it is even more distressing for the animal concerned. If you feel strongly about this treatment please support the petition at

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/chinacruelty/

You must be a British citizen or resident to sign. It doesn't take two minutes.

Please pass these details to as many friends as possible and ask them to sign.

Thank you
Pam



Thanks for this Pam. It is sickening. I will do all I can. Michael Admin

 Why exculsively to British???
by: Anonymous

I care for these animals and this is terrible. If they think this is right they must've been dropped on their heads one too many times.

I'm American, so apparently, I'm "not eligible" to sign this petition. Congratulations, you just decreased the number of names that could be on your petition.

 rise against the living
by: Anonymous

I am rising from nothing, I am no one. I will not have rais children and work from 9 to 5. I will not go about my day anymore and wishI could do something.I, we must band together, in droves and DO, not say, perhaps it will start as words, but it will finish with action. this is my first step to stop the mistreatment of animals, ones we eat, ones we love, all ones. I dont know what I am doing, and have noe idea how to begin, but this is a start, and I will need as many people, people who will stand up for the animals who cannot even stand in the cages they are packed into. try to change laws.

 This is horrendous and things must change
by: Anonymous

This cruelty damages us all unless we do something about it. China has no animal welfare laws. This is outrageous in a modern world. What happened? How is it that China hasn't enacted the legislation?

China wants to modernize. It is relatively easy to create animal welfare legislation as there are some great models around. Sweden is one example.

I ask all visitors to sign the petition, please.

Michael
