（轉貼）世界動物保護組織(WSPA)的回信

親愛的朋友：

謝謝你的來信。

我們看到了很多報道，也收到了很多關於中國當局在震後宰殺貓狗以防疫疾病的報告。

世界動物保護組織尚未收到此事件正在發生的確切的第一手材料，因此無法做出反應。我們確實承認，地方政府為了防疫而不人道地對待流浪貓狗是經常發生的事情。這經常是出於因缺少專門知識而引發的過度恐慌。在這些事件中，為了站在保護當地動物福利的立場上，評估並調查事件，我們會提供人道的對待流浪動物的建議，並嚐試消除地方政府和人民的恐慌。

據我們所知，還沒有動物福利組織被獲準進入事發地。

如果收到新的信息，請再度與我們聯係

祝好

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your email to the WSPA.

Further to some reports (see this one from China.com: http://news.china.com/zh_cn/focus/2008dizhen/11067427/20080520/14854505.html ) we have received a number of enquiries as to whether dogs (and perhaps cats) are being killed by the authorities in China after the earthquake to prevent the potential spread of disease. 

The WSPA has received no first-hand reports regarding this actually happening and without such knowledge we cannot respond.  We do accept that it is often the case that municipal authorities can respond to disasters by treating stray populations of dogs and cats inhumanely, often out of fear of the spread of disease (for example) and the lack of available expertise.  In the event that the WSPA is in a position to make an assessment of the animal welfare situation in the region and find that this is happening, we would aim to provide advice on humane methods of stray population management and attempt to allay any fears the local authorities and the local people may have. 

No animal welfare organisations have secured the necessary permission to access the affected region so far, to our knowledge. 

Please contact us again if you receive any further information. 

Kind regards 

Fiona Rose
