Please sign this
I'm not normally one for petitions but the cruelty and horror these poor dogs go through is unimaginable. It beggars belief that such a thing can still be going on in this way and age amongst supposedly civilised beings. Civilised my arse

I've signed it. I don't care if it's in a different country, different sovereignty etc etc, it's still bloody barbaric, as you said.
(I don't agree with throwing lobsters into boiling water either, but that's off topic.) |

I have signed many over the years and nothing seems to come of them. I will still keep signing.

Already signed and distributed but thanks for posting it for people who haven't already been active against this atrocity.

They seem to be quite happy to allow elephants and rhinos to be killed to feed their country's demand for quack medicines and don't seem too concerned about the mass slaughter of whales and dolphins. I doubt if complaints about the plight of dogs would even register with them.

I'm sure they would take plenty of notice if we (and other countries) stopped trading with them and flogging their cheap shoddily made tat in our shops because of their revolting inhuman practices

How can sitting back and doing nothing be better than speaking out? |

Best make a petition calling for the government to stop trading with them then. Good luck with that one.
http://www.hsi.org/news/press_releas...on-052516.html Just an example of what's being done. Thank you for signing the petition, in spite of your doubts.

It can't do any harm and if sharing and signing petitions about such horrific things like this raises awareness it has to be good. I had already signed it.

Although eating dog isn't something I can condemned as a "thing" I think any animal that humans interact with for any reason should be treated decently. And that certainly isn't the case here. The whole area of animal welfare in China leaves a lot to be desireddesired.

In case you haven't seen it over 100,000 Chinese citizens opposed to the dog meat trade attended an event to protest against it.
