為能促進國內的動物保護盡快立法,改善動物的生存環境,盡自己的最大努力。
我們其實早在2006年3月就當時國內頻發的,針對動物的惡劣事件,向幾個國際動物保護發過郵件。希望他們能關注中國的流浪動物現狀,敦促中國盡快立法。
每次看到那些可憐無助的貓貓狗狗和其他小動物們受到的種種虐待和屠殺,都心如刀絞,悲痛氣憤,倍受折磨。。
我知道,一個人的力量太渺小了,不可能改變現實,但是如果能為可憐的動物們做點什麽,自己的 心靈也會也許會有一絲安慰。
真的很理解金椒媽!想對她說:感謝!感謝!!再感謝!!!
寵壇的人都是愛動物的人,大家一定都支持國內動物立法。所以還要感謝寵壇,和關注寵壇的這些善良人,能給我抒發己見的機會。謝謝大家看貼!!

Dear K. & M. ,
Thank you for your e-mail and for contacting the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA). It is obvious that you are very passionate about animal welfare- as are we at WSPA. I assure you that WSPA is well aware of all of the issues that you mention in your e-mail, as well as other animal welfare issues in China.
I am not sure how familiar you are with WSPA, but our organization works to help animals around the world. We have 14 offices around the world, including an office in Bangkok that focuses on animal welfare issues in China. We also have a network on 663 member societies in 142 countries, including 5 member societies in China. Lastly, we also have a global network of members who support WSPA's work and keep us informed about the latest animal welfare issues around the world.
For example, when the latest "crush" video from China came out on the Internet, I received (and continue to receive) several e-mails from supporters and concerned public in countries around the world. WSPA offices around the world received so many inquiries about it that our headquarters office put out an e-mail addressing the issue. Worldwide media outlets have also received numerous inquiries about this video and the websites that feature it.
As you no doubt are aware, media groups and others in China are attempting to locate the woman in the video and take action against this video. Unfortunately there is not much that animal groups can do against the woman since China has no laws regarding cruelty to animals. However, the International Fund for Animals (IFAW) is investigating and writing a letter to the government of China. Although this will come as little consolation, after examining the pictures, the general consensus at WSPA is that the kitten in the video was either dead or sedated before the woman stepped on it. Regardless, this video is still horrifying, and the fact that the woman can get away with it because there are no animal cruelty laws in China is extremely disheartening.
WSPA has been working for years to promote animal welfare legislation in China, where as you know, many of the worst animal welfare offenses occur. Currently WSPA is working to bring an end to the practice of bear bile farming throughout China, and we are also working on behalf of farm, domestic, and wild animals throughout China and Asia. To read about WSPA's campaigns for animals in China, please visit the following web pages: http://www.wspa-international.org/site/index.php?page=44; http://www.wspa-international.org/site/index.php?page=34; http://www.wspa-international.org/site/index.php?page=1465.
I hope this information is helpful, and please feel free to contact me again if you have any other concerns or questions about WSPA's work.
Thank you again for caring about animals,
Jennifer Brown

Subject: Attn: WSPAUSA -- Abuse of animals in China
We are writing to bring to your attention several horrific practices that are occurring in China involving the inhumane treatment, sadistic torture, and murder of animals.
These practices include, but are not limited to:
the barbaric treatment of animals -- especially cats and dogs -- that are being captured, imprisoned, and brutally murdered for use in the restaurant industry.
the production and distribution of so-called "animal snuff videos" produced in China and distributed/sold via the Internet, in which cats, dogs, and other animals, are brutally and sadistically killed by participating humans.
the apparently widespread mistreatment and abuse of all types of animals by pet owners and other individuals.
Please refer to the links below for articles that include additional information, examples, and shocking photographs that illustrate the above atrocities.

We are outraged that a country like China would allow these activities to happen. We want to make sure that your organization is aware of these practices, and we encourage you to take steps that will help to eliminate them.
In particular, we feel strongly that actions must be taken to pressure to establish and enforce laws that will prevent this horrific treatment of animals in China.
Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Sincerely,
k & m

Dear K & M,
Thank you for contacting us. I apologise for the delayed response.
Many dogs and cats are raised as "fur" and "food" animals in China and are kept in horrific conditions, as you know. You may have heard about the HSUS undercover investigation some years ago that exposed the truth about the China dog/cat fur industry. As a result of that investigation and lobbying, there is now a ban on the import of dog and cat fur into the US.
However, the consumption of dogs and cats is still practiced in China. It is a practice they mark as “cultural” as they have been doing it for hundreds if not thousands of years. Education and raising the status of dogs and cats as pets in China has the most promise in changing this cruel cycle. Animals Asia is an international animal protection organization that works on this issue in China. They have several programs that aim to enhance the status of dogs and cats, such as their Dr. Dog program. You can learn more about their work in China on their website:

I hope this information proves helpful to you. Again, thank you for your concern and compassion for animals.
