Dear Annie,

I hope you had a great New Years%u2019 Eve and are looking forward to the Year of the Ox!

For us, it was a bumpy start to the year %u2013 elation at being involved in the first major rescue of %u201Cmeat dogs%u201D from a trader in China, but also sadness at seeing the state of the dogs and the knowledge that millions of others are still trapped in this brutal industry.

It all started on New Year%u2019s Eve when the Qiming Rescue Centre, a dog shelter in Chengdu, asked for our help. The authorities in nearby Pengzhou had just confiscated 149 dogs from an unlicensed trading station (after a tip-off from Qiming staff) and the dogs were on their way to the shelter.

Our first sight of the dogs was shocking.
A small team, including one of our vets and a vet nurse, quickly grabbed medical supplies and headed for the shelter. We arrived just as the truck carrying the dogs pulled in. I couldn%u2019t believe what we were witnessing! It was horrible in every sense of the word %u2013 the stench (so familiar from our visits to live animal markets), the blood-curdling cries coming from the cages as the terrified dogs bit into each and, as always, the terrible feeling we all get when we look into the haunting, sad eyes of these beautiful animals.

I hate to think how long they had been in those cages, many of them packed in so tightly that they were piled on top of each other. Some of the dogs were shaking with anxiety, while others were rigid with fear. Many were suffering terribly and showing symptoms of parvovirus, distemper and kennel cough. Most were skeletal and their coats filthy from being excreted and urinated on by the top layer of dogs.

Our volunteer vet nurse Helena tends to the dogs.
Animals Asia is health-checking the dogs, treating their wounds, vaccinating them and, sadly, euthanising those that are just too sick to save or so aggressive that we could not rule out rabies or other diseases; these dogs are also a serious risk to other dogs and handlers. The process is ongoing, but we hope many of the dogs will recover and find good homes. However, these are the lucky ones %u2013 this year alone, millions of other dogs (and cats) will be slaughtered in the most brutal manner in hellish meat markets in China.

Many of the dogs were chronically ill and weak.
They will be crammed together into tiny cages, loaded onto trucks and driven day and night for four or five days with no food or water (if they are lucky, they might be hosed down, just to keep them alive). Once at the markets in southern China, they will be bludgeoned across the face, stabbed and bled out, or slowly, torturously beaten to death in the misguided belief that their meat will taste better if they are panic-stricken at the point of death. The same fate awaits millions of cats %u2013 some of them are even boiled alive.

What is so encouraging about this rescue is that it was a local animal-welfare centre that alerted the authorities about the unlicensed trader and, for the first time, the authorities actually confiscated the dogs! This is a wonderful example of Chinese people standing up and saying %u201Cno%u201D to the cruel dog-eating trade %u2013 and it underpins our education efforts to stop demand and bring this industry to an end.

Many of the dogs were wearing collars and a number of them were pure-bred; these were possibly stolen pets; others had been collected as strays from the streets, bred in dingy cages on dog farms or raised in rural houses purposefully for meat.

At the moment, Qiming Rescue Centre has only cramped room to house these new dogs %u2013 at least temporarily %u2013 as we revamp and upgrade the facility and help them recover from their terrible trauma while they await adoption.

Animals Asia%u2019s Christie comforts some of the survivors.
We have much work to do, as the bitterly cold winter months close in on us, including more weatherproofing, extending the roof to cover many more dog runs, concreting the enclosures and runs and making dry, wooden-box beds. With the added expense of food and medical care, this is going to be a costly process.

All the money raised in this appeal will go directly to the care of the dogs at the Qiming shelter. Any remaining when our work there is finished, will go to our ongoing campaigns to end dog-and-cat eating.

Already, dogs that ran away whenever we walked into the enclosures are now slowly approaching us with cautious tail wags and trusting eyes. Some will stand nervously as we gently stroke their fur %u2013 but when we stop they will turn towards us shyly asking for more. Somehow I think they know they're the lucky ones %u2013 but there is still a long way to go.

Right now, these poor dogs need your help! Please send a donation, however small, to help us save them %u2013 and maybe turn some into animal-therapy %u201Cambassador%u201D dogs.

Warm wishes,

Jill Robinson MBE

Animals Asia Foundation

PS: This year is going to be particularly hard for us with the global economic crisis. So please, even if you can afford only a small amount, your donation will be greatly appreciated. Money goes a long way in China, and I guarantee that none of it will be wasted.

These animals are amongst the most abused and tortured in the world. I find it hypocritical for western society to condemn this behaviour when its own society supports the brutal and abusive treatment and slaughter of billions of animals per year. NONE of this should occur. Nevertheless, eastern treatment of animals is nothing short of depraved; considering the belief that the greater the torture, the greater the taste, it's unforgivable to subject these animals to such atrocities and we ALL must make this stop. GO VEGAN.

Eating habits can change - as the human race evolves it's time to abandon habits that hurt and kill others regardless of what species they may be and stop defending barbaric savagery as tradition. These are sentient beings with feelings and intelligence - and please China, remember you are what you eat. The fear, terror and pain that these poor animals feel - that;s what you imbibe. All meat eating cultures are violent - that's proved by several scientific studies. Evolve to a higher food culture. Until then caring people will not visit your country nor buy your products.

What’s wrong with the Chinese Government here allowing this to happen still, this is Another Disgusting Example of Government & Big Business Corruption, wasteful spending, discrimination and Crimes against Humanity & Animal!!”. They are a disgrace to Humanity!!! REDICULOUS ANIMAL-ABUSE-LAW-TWISTING FANATICS!! We Will All Distribute your idiotic to Big Media and Start Letting those “Useless Talking Heads on TV News” know what’s really worth reporting to the world… And they will Report it as we will also through our blogs.. … … I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I Beg all Intelligent and Responsible People to Please Stop Letting This Happen STILL.. “All animals deserve a loving home & lots of food, with all the nourishment to keep them content, from a little beetle to a whale shark and every creature in between & no animal deserves to be Your Entertainment, Your Punching or Kicking Toy, or just plainly kept by you!! CAGED!, mistreated, harmed, tortured, used as bait, drowned, microwaved, maimed, set on fire, used as a pinata, mutilated, decapitated, skinned alive, starved, poisoned, bashed, hanged, trained for fights, gambled on, shot, stabbed, neglected, or even just left for dead.” I’m sickened and disgusted. . I Beg all Intelligent and Responsible People to Please Stop Letting This Happen STILL.. How can you when your kids will want it to end if they only knew what was happening out there. Please Stand up and fight against All Country’s Holocaust on Innocent Animals!! The animals are part of our Humanity Leave them alone sickos!! We don’t want products from China, Japan and Asia because of their country’s Industrial institution’s desire to destroy the planet with their product & Monies that destroy plant and animal life daily everywhere (not to mention the rights of others).. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. . They’re a disgrace to humanity and should be thrown in a net, and put in the ocean for all the creatures who they’ve killed; to do what they want with them… The Government Destruction of Valuable Forest and Land and Marine Life, and all the Sick Behavior stemming from every ones bad childhood, makes it plain to see who would be abusive parents in the world - and encouraging Abuse & the Killing of beautiful innocent beings. We in the World are Watching You And Need You to do something. And we will take HARD action AS WELL.. WE CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT!!! PEOPLE WHO KILL ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES AND ARE KNOWN FOR ABUSING CHILDREN.. People who do these things to innocent animals & Creatures (who scream and cry and feel the pain), do not feel the screaming, crying or pain of other human beings who suffer (for other reasons) and should be arrested and put in jail. And I will work on this to happen. OH YES I WILL!! Just as all Hunters will work forever to be able to Hunt what ever beautiful Animal they want… STILL!! “Hunting is not a "sport' in the true sense of the word. A sport is when your opponent has the same options to beat you at a game or contest as you do to beat them.” As we “The Good People & Parents” teach as many kids as we can, when ever we can “THAT THIS IS WRONG”, and that you know the reasons why, but we wait for you to do something about it.

What suffering to these animals. Chinese people are the most evil people on the planet to subject these dogs to this condition. It is like a holacaust of animals. The world should rise and fight this cruelty until it stops, It is the most frightening thing to see these animals suffer beyond the imagination. May God destroy these wicked people!
