ON 21 JUNE 2014, AROUND 10,000 DOGS WILL BE EATEN BY PEOPLE IN YULIN IN CHINA. DOGS ARE COOKED IN A HOTPOT AND EATEN, WHILE STRONG LIQUOR IS DRUNK BY LOCALS CELEBRATING THE TRADITION. IT IS THOUGHT THAT DOGS ARE PETS OR STRAYS ABDUCTED FROM THE STREETS. SOME ANIMAL THIEVES USE WEAPONS TO THREATEN RESIDENTS TO HAND OVER THEIR BELOVED DOG. DO YOU WANT TO STAND FOR THIS, WILL THE BRITISH PEOPLE HELP RAISE A VOICE TO END THIS BARBARIC SLAUGHTER. ACCORDING TO CHINA POST, LOCAL RESTAURANTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO COVER THE WORD DOG, ON SIGNS TO APPEASE PROTESTORS. FOOD SAFETY AUTHORITIES TOLD US TO CHANGE OUR SIGNBOARDS DUE TO OBJECTION OF CERTAIN DOG LOVERS, STAFF MEMBERS REPORTEDELY SAID. IT IS ILLEGAL, BUT IT STILL GOES ON, UNDER, IT SEEMS, THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND AUTHORITIES.
SO PLEASE HELP THESE DEFENCELESS, VOICELESS, DOGS, YOUR PETS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS I THINK WOULD BE TO HURT THEM WHERE IT HURTS MOST AND THE GOVERNMENT ARE LIKELY TO TAKE ANY NOTICE AT ALL. PLEASE RECONSIDER EVERY VISITING CHINA FOR A HOLIDAY, PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT THIS CRUEL FESTIVAL, WHICH HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. I HAD TO START THIS PETITION TODAY AS I READ THE ARTICLE ON YAHOO AND I SAW A MOST DISTURBING AND SAD PICTURE WHERE THERE WERE ABOUT 100 DOGS OF ALL BREEDS, FROM A SMALL TERRIER TO A BIG LABRADOR, ALL STRUNG UP AND DISTORTED AND TERRIFIED IN A HUGE NET, JUST LIKE A SHAWL OF FISH, WHICH I AM SURE YOU HAVE ALL SEEN. SO PLEASE KEEP THAT PICTURE IN YOUR MIND AND SIGN THIS WORTHY PETITION.
I HAVE FOUND AN EMAIL FOR THE LONDON CHINESE EMBASSY. PLEASE WILL YOU TAKE A FEW MINUTES OUT OF YOUR DAY AND EMAIL: AMBASSADOR LIU XIAOMING @political@chinese-embassy.org.uk PLEASE SHOW OUR COMPASSION FOR THESE DOGS, PLEASE SHOW THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WE WILL NOT TRAVEL TO SUCH A COUNTRY WHERE THEY ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THESE CRUEL FESTIVALS AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ILLEGAL THE GOVERNMENT AND AUTHORITIES STILL LET IT HAPPEN. LET THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SHOW THEY ARE WILLING TO STOP THESE FESTIVALS AND STOP THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN DOG MEAT FOR THESE FESTIVALS. SHOW AND PROVE THEY DO THIS AND HAVE ANIMAL WELFARE PEOPLE IN PLACE TO PROVE THEY ARE DOING SO TOO.
PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL TO CHINA, TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES TOO. THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR CARING KAREN
