Dear JOHNNY,
Friends like you look to PETA for information about cruelty to animals and ways to stop it.
Throughout the month of August, I'll be sending you breaking news about the treatment of companion animals around the world as well as easy ways that you can help stop animal abuse
TODAY.
![Help Prevent
Suffering of Dogs in China]() As you may know, officials in Southwest China ordered the extermination of more than 50,000 dogs in late July after three people died from rabies.
Among the animals slaughtered were up to 4,000 dogs who—despite being immunized against rabies—were dragged into the street and strangled or clubbed to death in front of their families. These awful deaths illustrate the Chinese government's insensitivity to animals as well as its complete lack of planning. There are humane ways to prevent rabies outbreaks. Yet China has rejected our offers to help implement procedures—including a simple four-point plan—that would avoid such cruel killings.
China has no animal welfare laws whatsoever. That's why millions of dogs and cats are strangled with wire nooses and beaten to death every year so that their fur can be turned into trim and trinkets for American and European consumers. China is the world's largest supplier of animal skin and fur—and it doesn't draw the line when it comes to domestic animals and family pets.
The following are ways that you can help dogs and cats in China right now:
- Contact the Chinese government and demand that it halt the further slaughter of dogs.
Urge the Chinese government to enact a strict anti-cruelty law immediately.
- Don't let this massacre go unnoticed. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or post the news on your favorite blog. Let the world know about China's recent and shocking mass murder of dogs and the need for a cruelty-to-animals law in the world's most populated country.
- Don't buy or wear fur. China supplies more than half of all finished fur garments that are imported into the United States. Because dog and cat fur is so deliberately mislabeled, the bottom line is that if you're buying fur, there's no way to tell whose skin you're wearing. And all animal lives are precious.
Right now, China is listening to those who speak out for animals. After intense international pressure, the Chinese government has just halted its plan to give foreigners licenses to hunt wild and endangered animals.
Adding your voice today to those demanding change in China could help millions of animals.
Thank you for speaking out against cruelty and for standing up for animals everywhere.
Very truly yours,
![Ingrid Newkirk]()
