Topic: Stop The Puppy Slaughter! (Read 3699 times)

Yes and to be clear on the matter.I am not taking issue with peoples freedom to eat meat from anything to remove their hunger.The point being made is referring to the text below and many other unnecessary abuses that take place in some cases far worse than this.If they can do this to an animal in some cases where they derive pleasure from the activity then there is absolutely no doubt they would do the same to a human if the law permitted it and their level of deprivation was increased further.

I only am interested in passing one test if it's put to me, by a greater one than you my friend .I too am doubting your ability to pass such a test either considering how a beer Aficionado refers to beer as a spirit on my other thread and not a beverage?

So far, you have definitely not passed the Turing test.

Dogs are food, if you want to eat them. They, also, are living beings. Treat them well before you kill them for food, if that is what you want to do. After all, you wouldn't be mean to beef cattle before you slaughtered them, would you? You treat cattle well, because they produce better food for you that way. Well treated dogs would be better tasting food if you treat them well before slaughter.

Orientals have a different mindset than Europeans and Americans. To Europeans and Americans, the Oriental mindset looks mean. And when you compare it to standard love, it seems to be this way. But because of their mindset, hurting animals being used for food is not wrong to many of them.

Admit it, dogs deprived of their daily barbecued puppy allotment would be very sad.

Ah you are familiar with scripture? You probably are right in this case but it somehow did nevertheless.A good righteous response on your behalf though.Have a blessed day.

Human beings do awfull things to other animals and creatures they thing because they have a brain and they can think they could do whatever rhey want but the problem is not dogs only a lot of animals are slaughtered that their body parts can be sold and its similer to torture because they have emotions too i would be happy to help these animals.

It should not. There, the baby was not given a choice.

This suggestion reminds me of King Solomon for some reason

I have been struggling to figure a moral and ethical way to resolve this crisis, and after much thought I have a fully scientifically solution for your consideration.

We take 30 dogs for these tests. To qualify the dogs MUST BE peoples' pets.

The 30 dogs are put into the cages in the Testing Area, where each day they are presented with two bowls of food (A) dry cereal dogwood, typical of what they've had all their loving life (B) barbecued puppy.

Supervising humans with clipboards record whether the dogs ate (A) or (B).

At the end of a week, the dogs are released back to their owners with packages of the preferred food.

If a statistically significant fraction of the dogs preferred (A) then all dog meat festivals should be banned forever. If a statistically significatantological fraction of the dogs prefer (B) then the matter shall be banned from Twitter.

I'm pretty certain the dogs would love dog meat...

This is just sickening, how can people eat such a meat and make a festival about it? But then again China doesn't really care what the rest of the world thinks and just do their own stuff. If such a festival would be held in my country I am pretty sure there would come a lot of people and tell you otherwise. There would be no guarantee on the security of particanpts. I understand that there are cultural differences between different countries, but dogs are such good hearted beings. If trained well they would do anything for their owners. Dog meat should be banned anywhere.

Well, today the remotest village is wired into the Internet, and although there are attempts to reshape in in China and other totalitarian regimes, I doubt they could ever succeed in banishing a book from being available to any one who sought it. That's at least one improvement over the past, when information was limited to paper.

I hope they eventually get time to read the gospel.If everyone lived as best they could by it I think humankind would be healed.

You're not going to get a better, wiser, saner, free-er China by worrying about and criticizing their use of dogs.

You might get it by carefully criticizing certain aspects of the human rights and freedom issues.

But the extent of prejudice against Westerners in China runs deep. More likely the generations that knew what Mao was will just die off, then the younger generations will see things very differently. Mostly.

Bump

Dog meat festival is a part of china's culture ( if im not mistaken ). People from outside china view it as something that is wrong and immoral, considering that dogs are living beings that are meant to be cared and loved. Dogs dont deserve to be treated this way that's why this festival is criticized by animal welfare and animal rights, though i dont see people complaining about pigs and cows being slaughtered and eaten.

This is all about the Yulin Festival in China. It is not a festival though. It is killing innocent dogs just for their happiness sake. And I totally disagree with this kind of thinking. I wonder how their government feel in this kind of slaughtering innocent dogs. If you are a chinese citizen whose reading this, kindly enlighten me how you feel about this Yulin Festival and what invokes people in China in doing such thing? I'm really angry though that this gore festival is really happening. Where are the organization of Animal welfare in China? People who eat dog meat are considered as animals.

To forbid eating dog meat is how to forbid eating meat at all. If people like more dog meat than pigs, then do not do it publicly and painfully for animals.

Something irritating from dog slaughter is because dogs are not animals worth consuming by humans. Dogs are pets that have been crowned as human companions. Moreover, most people do not like to see dogs eaten by humans. Those who eat dog meat should understand.

Dude these are things you've heard from someone else. And what about those muslims who help christians in times of need? I've also heard about muslims lending their clothings and teaching muslim prayers to christians in terrorist stricken areas just so they can pass for muslims as well, saving their lives. These muslims are putting their own lives on the line to save non muslims yet all we hear about is how they act barbaric towards non-believers.

Well, I have heard about some incidents in the city of New York, where the Muslim cab drivers refused to let blind people inside their taxi, just because they were being accompanied by guide dogs. To tell the truth, I don't expect them to behave in a civilized way in either Pakistan or Afghanistan. But once they land in the United States, I expect them to behave normally.

How about if you take a spark plug out of your V8 car, and run it that way? Is that cruel and inhuman treatment of the car? After all, it's your car. And if the noise doesn't bother anybody else... it's your car.

Animals are simply complex machines. Nobody has crawled into an animal to see if it has pain or not. All that we know is that it looks like it has pain. What does this mean? It means that the problem lies with the suggestion of pain that somebody else gets when he sees an animal being hurt.

If the V8 engine is noisy, put the spark plug back in, to quiet it. But if the noise isn't bothering anybody, it is your property. Do with it what you wish.

Same with the puppy. If you are deaf and blind, and don't hear or see the actions that would normally incite sympathy or horror in you, and if it isn't bothering anybody else, do what you want. It is your property.

When scientists do experiments on animals that hurt them, the scientists generally try to make it as painless on the animals as possible. But they do this for their own mental protection... because the animals' cries of pain imitate human pain so strongly that people associate it with human pain. So, it is the person that is hurt. Regarding the animal, those are simply reactions in a robotic cyborg of a creature that doesn't have a soul.

If the ultimate purpose of killing an animal is for eating i could agree it's fine. The problem is when they are tortured for long periods when they can give them a fast death, and worse when it's just for fun, that really sucks.

Stop the puppys laughter? (Oops; I think I put that space in the wrong place).

But do it only through expressing your opinion. After all, the puppy is their property. And they can do what they wish with their property. Suggest to them, if you want. But don't use force. Force removes freedom. And what goes around comes around. You will lose your freedom, as well, if you take freedom away from others to use their property as they wish.

This is the proof of human stupidity.Was correctly mentioned that people kill many animals (such us cows,pigs,sheep,crocodilesetc.) for consumption (food,cosmetics,pharmaceuticalsetc.) which is against ecological system and morality rules because they have senses just like people.However people who are torturing animals in this way are mentically perverted and bestial and there is no excution.

Horrible. I know it's their culture, like how hairless dogs and guinea pigs are livestock in some South American countries, but - come on! Why beat them to death! Go stun them with an electric shock or faint them with a quick blow at nape.


Have no problems with the typical human omnivore, that's the "default" mode. So long as the animals are raised in a good condition and died without pain, OK. They were domesticated for food anyway, if they didn't have any use for us, we probably would have not bother taming and breeding them.

Muslim people again, why they always different from us.  I mean, their beliefs and concept in life is different from us.  How ridiculous that they kill dogs for consumption while they are letting cows loitering their cities.  Dogs are so precious and very loyal and very caring animal.  I cannot stand seeing dogs being killed.

Muslims for me are not people, so I'll only be happy if the Islamic countries would not be such good Pets as dogs. Let these bastards fuck sheep and donkeys. Much more difficult with Asians. They are specially breed puppies to eat them. It is unacceptable for me. I never put the hand of the man who killed the dog.

We know there's a lot of stuff the Chinese eat that would disgust us, and this is one of them. If they truly have to eat this and it's part of the culture, at least do it humanely. Stun the animals first before slaughtering them. AND DON'T FREAKIN STEAL SOMEONE'S PET!

If we're talking culture here, there's hope on the horizon, at least for dogs. Taiwan has already banned eating dogs. South Korea has closed down a market before and since Koreans don't regularly eat these anymore, a total ban could come in the future.


Now that's a ridiculous reason to subject animals to torture before finally killing them. 

Also, depending on the culture and traditions, the attitude towards the animals vary. For example, in the western nations it is considered abhorrent to kill a dog. But in the Muslim nations, dogs are considered as "haram" and they are exterminated wherever they are found. And for the Hindus, the cow is a holy animal. But for the others, it is just another domestic species.

Yes these are good points and also understandable many people eat dogs but main issue is how dogs are stolen in many cases from owners to be sold for this festival etc.

Also the dogs are sometimes beaten slowly as possible to exert as much fear into them in order to make the meat taste better etc.Some of course are boiled alive instead.A great pleasure is sometimes taken by the participants in the torture of these animals also.

Psychologically speaking there is a high probability that anyone who engages in such behavior is also capable of being a danger to people.They have psychopatic and sociopathic tendencies.

With you, I also fully agree, and on the one hand I do not understand what the difference between a cow, a pig and a dog can be. Each person can become attached to a single animal. Therefore, this animal disposes to itself and it is pitiful. Just when you feed a pig for slaughter, you look at it like a meat, and when you feed and promise a puppy as a friend, it's the animal that becomes the Untouchables.

More than 95% of the world population is composed of non-vegetarians, who consume meat. You don't have the right to ask these people to stop eating meat, just because it offends you. They have the same rights which you have.

What petitions can do? Who ever listens to people? To achieve results can only be the action. Trump was going to deal with the economic expansion of China. Can't we coordinate our actions with it and block products from China until they renounce the killing of dogs.

Thank you.There are petitions out there also if people wish to protest against this practice.

I see your point, killing dog's is not good, and also is a cultural part of them. But many others will say that other animals have the same rights.
Something like vegetarians look for, so i see this problem very hard to have a solution. Anyyway i will support you because i love animals.

Puppy slaughter should be stop, I've read many article about this and it's like abusing the animal rights. It's not right to kill this innocent babies they have the right to live and be taken care of. I have a dog and we treated him as one of our family. That's why when it died it hurts a lot and it took me months to recover about his death. I really miss him a lot and every time I remember those memories with him it hurt's me.

.Why do people keep on harming and killing animals just because they loved too and tradition? I saw some editorial cartooning before which it totally hits the people on destoying the nature for their own good, is it we are on the top of the food chain? And as i recall back then its just a cycle? Why not people keep on cutting trees and lives of the animals without even replacing but instead they are throwing gatbages? This is why I wonder what will be the future of the planet.

An animal slaughter is possible only for consumption animals such as cattle, goats, chickens and others. But for animals such as cats and dogs, should not be slaughtered because cats and dogs are not animals to be consumed by humans.

I love dogs. To be honest I probably would not hesitate to kill a man who tries in my presence to kill the dog. For this reason, I hate Chinese and Japanese who eat dogs. If I could I would stop all relations with countries in which there is no criminal penalty for killing dogs.

LMAO. Cookie +1

I'm going to go out on a limb. I'll eat anything, given the situation. Dog, cat, horse, no fucks given; of course we are talking about an emergency situation for a lot of these. I say that to say this; no problem with the eating of dogs, but if you are going to harvest anything, do it right. I'm a hunter. Use what you kill, and kill as clean as possible. Just as easy to kill the dogs cleanly, but like you, I am aware of the cultural practice of 'tenderizing meat' through suffering (it actually does the opposite).

With that being said, I bet that shit tastes sooo good Asians and Hispanics have harnessed the power of MSG, these dogs are probably off the fucking chain with a bottle of TsingTao and some hot white rice.

Going make breakfast. I want Chinese so badly now

This is a small festival, happening only once every year. Even the newspaper article claims that less than 10,000 dogs are killed during the entire time period. Compare this with the slaughter of 9 billion hen in the United States alone, every year for their meat. More than 100 million pigs and 40 million cattle are slaughtered every year. Are their lives in any way less valuable than that of the dogs?

Why China's Yulin Dog Meat Festival Won't Be Cancelled This Year After All


Around 10,000 dogs are slaughtered at the festival every year.According to reports, the import of dogs has already started to the small city in the southern province of Guangxi -- with stolen pets likely to be among them.

Is theft and damaging of property legal in China?  The thieves would be arrested in any other country of the world. This is damaging for the global image of China, thieves get away with stealing and damaging property of other people. Steal and damage other peoples property for a festival (organized crime).

Westerners have a right to be angry when peoples property is stolen and damaged, this is behavior of barbarians and not that of civilized people. There is nothing silly about that. I think the Chinese government is well aware that "stealing and damaging" is not how they want to be known around the world.

Yes, animal cruelty exists in the west. This is not only animal cruelty, it's also stealing and destroying property of private citizens. Not to mention unhygienic and dangerous or health of Chinese citizens. The festival should be illegal.

I had a 1 in 2 Billion chance he was.  I would never Visit that Shithole. I'm still willing to bet he is Asian.

The slaughtering and cooking of dogs is so much different than any other animal because dogs are rare in the sense that they are animals that us humans can build a relationship and bond with, and we can understand eachother. Something that pigs or cows dont have

He's claiming the truth, he doesn't have to be Chinese to do that. Have you ever been to China?

@DAS: you're liar the chickens go trough hell as well

So your complaint is that they might be stealing the dogs?  You don't care that these Barbaric inbred fucks torture the animals?

You Chinese ?

I don't mind no matter how they kill these dogs but they should at least own the dogs that they are about to kill. lets see how that can work for them and not stole these dogs from someone and beat them to death because that's another story. so if someone participates to this yulin, he should at least kill his own dog.

A dog is truly a man's best friend, I do not understand how anyone will derive pleasure in seeing them suffer before they die.
We don't torture chickens before killing them, so why should dogs be tortured - even if it's their tradition to eat dog meat?

You're happy you did man. The problem with western people is that most don't know where the 5000 pieces of chicken come from in the supermarket. "as if they are slaugtherd with love in the west". So they buy their prepacket chickenfilet (image for 1 filet goes one male little chicken through the shredder ALIVE)

SO what the silly western douchebag sheeple do is complain about some manifistation where a few dogs are killed.

Since in the netherlands where i live we keep 105.000.000 female chicken there goes the same couterpart through the shredder alive

I think hunting is best for both human and animal, that's what I wanna achieve though

I only seen about three seconds of that video, and promptly closed the page.

In some places in the world it is legal to own slaves if you do it the right way. Even in countries where slavery is formally abolished legally, there are other laws that twist the legal no-slaves wording into meaninglessness.

Animals are not people. A few of them might have almost a touch of the ability to reason, but they are different than people. People who own animals have the right to do with their animal property what they want.

Anybody who attempts to take away the right of people to do with their own property what they want, is simply trying to make slaves of people.

A person who treats his animal property in a mean way simply shows that he is a mean person. Be careful when you deal with him, because he might be mean to you in his dealings. But if you attempt to take his property away, you are being worse than mean to him. You are attempting to make him a slave.

completely perfectlyagreed. killing animals is killing animals. it doesnt matter whether you kill dogs or cows. animals  have right to live on earth like humans so stop killing animals for subhuman purposes.

There you go yammering on with more spam nonsense.This thread is opposing the inhumane treatment of these animals and not related to any of your conspiracy theories or other delusions you are imagining.This thread is not about mammoths or even white rabbits so kindly move along while you are being asked nicely.Have a nice day.

stop the puppy slaughter!
stop the puppys laughter!

I really hate seeing animals being slaughtered especially if these were dogs for human consumption.  They are the most purified souls.  Very loyal and would not ever leave you.  I read an article that if God will grant additional years for being kind, dog would outlive us all.  I do not like also the photos of rhinoceros being slaughtered for its horns.  I do not know why people continue to do that.  Where are their hearts?

Me? Are you fucking crazy to simply ask? Not all... I have no skin in this festival and I don't eat dogs (as I know of). So I simply inform you that in modern China like in ancient China there is a clear opposition to foreigners intruding in domestic affairs, specially when it's devoid of any rational basis. What you advocate is the loss of a traditional cultural heritage, on an overpopulating species absolutely not threaten to extinction any time soon. So if by any events you should start to coordinate with domestic ennemies in China it may have consequences for you, even more if you decide to go there. I just wanted to tell you how it works.

Western imperialism is not welcome in China... Remember some people in the west will try to incite you to spread disharmony in China... Just remember they will let you down and betray you as they always do.

And again I reiterate my point, yes there is an unsustainablility in certain Chinese practices... Once rhinos, Tigers , Sharks what ever population is at a sustainable long term viable level I am the first to support intelligent value extraction. I think this opinions is widely shared by the executives of China. If only mammoths were still alive...

China you best be careful because if he becomes the next president it's going to be RUFF for you..

Anyway, I've clearly felt the urge to stop this annual yulin dog eating festival. I also want this to be stopped cause I'm a dog lover guy too. But the problem is, every people/group/tribe have different views on dogs. One person may view dogs as their best companion, another person may view dogs as food. We have different choices in things that we can't control of.

And what's the difference between the dogs beaten to death and a lubster boiled alive?

Because I don't know for the dogs, but a boiled lubster is paradise!

That poor Dog......These Chinese fucks have no Soul and will Rot in Eternal hell.

this is unacceptable, Chinese are being cruel to animals, but that does not surprise me coming from the Chinese.

off topic

In my country suffered a lot because of Chinese, in recent years the Chinese destroy our forests, kill rhino and elephants without government permission. this hard to contain Those Chinese. most buildings that the Chinese make are pirates, another day people die while watching a game because the stadium collapsed, guess what: who was responsible for the building of the Stadium? the Chinese.

I signed the petition, do not know if will make much difference because many countries close their eyes to the evil that China did, is because they are licking boots of the Chinese.

You are spamming this thread again with your nonsense.I have read your other posts and they are not much better.By the way are you threatening me in your earlier post?Answer that question nice and clearly now.Yes or no will suffice and choose your words very carefully.

I am saying that who ever you are, you will not disturb traditional Chinese festival. Secondly my argument about not killing endangered species is rational, like rhinos or others animals on the verge of extinction.

So more fried, boiled or flamed puppies...

Demonizing Cattle Is Emerging As A Major Climate Change Objective

I get this argument. A better way would be to at least make the killing more humanitarian and more respectful to ALL animals killed for the use of their bodies to make products. Just like how the American Indians did during their time in America. The world would be a better place for it.

Generally, Western animals are slaughtered for food in an humane as possible way. Dogs and cats might be quite tasty... like chickens and rabbits. After all, horse meat is quite good - rich. The thing we should do is slaughter them properly before we eat them. If the Chinese did this, there wouldn't really be any more against them than anyone else for taking life for food.

In the west we do not slaughter animals for food in this manner so yes it is quite "different".

I do not understand why do the government of China do not take any actions with this violation.  They must do some rules and law to stop this hineous crime.  These dogs were the best, they would be the very loyal companion you would ever had.  They are so sweet and smart and some people from China dis this unthinkable.  How could they put in their mouth their bestfriends.  Or maybe they do not know anything about love.  Oh, I just remember, there is no surprise as they were also known as eating fetus.

Now the people who kill other animals know how it feels to people who don't want any animal died for their food but eating dogs is really no different than when eating cows, pigs, deers.

So sad to read this thread.  The government of China should take some actions in stopping this kind of festival.  I do not know why they are tolerating this kind of crime.  Can they not do other festival using other animal like animals that were raised for human consumption rather than killing these poor dogs whom we were addressed as bestfriends.  These were very loyal companions, they will always have happy thoughts about you.  Others will betray you and will leave you but this purbabies will never will.

For the little puppy lovers out there... You know, everything you eat has been killed. I find this topic quite pathetic... The world burns and your consciousness can only grasp this... Interesting... I have a foundation setup that care less about dogs... Would you mind making a donation?

Go jump off a bridge you waste of skin

i understand that this is already a tradition and that traditions should be respected, however, in my personal opinion, i think the yulin festival is something that needs to be looked into as the way they slaughter the dogs is very inhumane. there are cattle and poultry animals that are bred for consumption but here, some dogs are taken from their owners and are killed in some of the most harsh way. dogs are domestic animals and as much as i would like to say i respect the yulin dog meat tradition, it really makes me sick

Its hard to see how they threat dogs like this. Im not a pet lover but this does not mean i dont care for them. Dog is just like family to us. Why they doing this just for their culture? Dog is meant to be eaten coz it has rabies and cannot be kill it even if its well cooked. Chinese are disgusting.

Oh come on. Stop your puppy slobber. I want my freedom, and you want yours. But even if you don't want yours, you just might have to take mine away from me over my smoking gun.

Yes, it should be stopped immediately. Its a slaughter + torture. Government should enforce that but dont think they will do it bez of vote bank politics. Wise People should boycott such hotels, restaurants and places where dog meat is selling.

Sure, stop the slaughter. But don't do it by any kind of force whatever. Such is taking away the freedom of people to use their property as they want. Rather, do it in the court of public opinion. Embarrass the slaughterers. But don't take their freedom away until they start to do it to people.

As usual idiots dont read the OP.     It's the way they are slaughtered!! they are tortured stop comparing it to other animals being eaten.

Stop trying to take away the freedom of people to do with their own property what they want. If you don't, you will find that your freedom will be taken away, as well.

That is true. We suck almost just as much. But at least we have laws against beating animals, any animal to death.

Dogs are mans best friend that's the difference..FUCK YOU CHINA FOR EATING DOGS ..And any other country who eats dogs..

 Why would you expect Chinese to abandon their tradition and adjust to western ones?

You already do when you wear a 3 piece suit ..TOTAL BRITISH THE 3 PIECE SUIT..
Chinese the best cooks in the whole world..FACT..And we wonder why because you will eat anything..

You are right about if we eat pigs it's 2 faced..BUT A DOG   ..
I class a dog the same as a human..Little bit more for the human BUT NOT MUCH MORE..

Yes complete ban on dog meat..
Oh and china have no pity on any animal..If it crawls and swims eat it that's your motto..
Mind you didn't you Chinese eat each other at one stage in history..Fried human eye balls 12 for 5 yuan ..

Some animals should never be killed for food

I support the idea of killing without pain and as fast as possible.

But we Westerners suck (nearly) as much as Asians in this regard.

Just look at mass husbandry in western nation's especially in the USA - I hope you have a strong stomach.

Or just do it like me and only buy organic food from free range husbandry. It is quite expensive in comparison to "normal" food though.

I definitely against animal cruelty regardless cultural impact.
If they want to consume these animals, it should be slaughtered in good way...

I am advocating a ban on how these people are allowed to kill these animals including how they obtain them and breed them etc.If their culture allows the eating of dog meat then it should be done in a strict regulated envoirnment that minimises stress and eliminates cruelty.

There is a major difference in how these animals are being treated and how animals are culled/slaughtered in western abbatoirs with strict guidelines and regulations and sanitary conditions.

In my personal opinion these people are no different than the terrorist savages due to their sheer lack of compassion towards a creature and their capacity to take pleasure from its distress in many cases but of course that is only a personal opinion.

Hmmm as a matter of curiousity are you supporting the barbaric behaviour related to the thread or you are against it.Which is it?

Your post below with the photo on this thread depicts this very subject so do you support this behaviour?Your use of the subject matter in an attempt to retort to the OP with some form of humour seems to collaborate this or is this just a coincidence perhaps?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15551964  

The big difference is that these dogs are beaten to death.

I remember like back in the year 2000 or so hearing that because of the stupidity of people and the illogical superstition that that stupidity causes, some people hang these dogs up on a rope and then beat them to death, for the sole purpose that they heard that killing the dog to death that way is going to create a meat that is going to give them a firmer erection.

So what's the difference (other than cultural) between killing dogs for consumption and killing cows/pigs? All of those animals have brains  capable of feeling pain/stress/trauma.
I'm sure there are people in India disgusted by 'westerners' slaughtering cows. Why would you expect Chinese to abandon their tradition and adjust to western ones?

Are you advocating for complete ban on dog meat or just for 'humanitarian' killing?

Text below is quoted from petition site.

"For the Yulin dog meat festival, some dogs are stolen from their owners and beaten or bled to death. Then they’re hung upside down from hooks, a slit cut from their anus and skin ripped off their bodies, and sold to be eaten.

The suffering must be unbearable -- new research shows that in terms of emotion, dogs' brains are much like ours, something dog owners and lovers understand well. When we see dogs for what they are -- living beings with thoughts and feelings -- the torture they endure at this 'festival' becomes unimaginable.

Already thousands of Chinese citizens have spoken out against the festival, but authorities won’t act until they see how badly it’s hurting China’s global image, which they’ve been working hard to improve. That’s where we come in. Let’s show the Chinese government that the world cares about this puppy slaughter and wants them to stop it immediately!


Please consider signing petition below or search for other petitions or information about Chinese barbaric cultural practices online.
