Dear ,
The annual dog meat event in
Yulin, China is scheduled for June 21st and animals need
your voice to bring cruelty like this to an
end.
Please call on China to
end this slaughter for good and help put an end to
the dog and cat meat trade.
After being snatched from the street, the
journey to the country's slaughterhouses is horrendous
for these animals. They are crammed on top
of each other and transported in trucks for days without
food or water in the unforgiving heat. Those who survive
have an agonizing wait. When their turn comes, iron
tongs clamp around their neck as each dog is violently
pulled from the slaughter pen and beaten to death for
someone’s meal.
This is not a hopeless
cause, and compassionate animal advocates like you, in
China and around the world, are the reason
why. Thanks to public outcry and the efforts of
our Chinese partner groups, this event has shrunk in
size year by year, with fewer animals suffering and
dying for their meat. What’s more, thanks to your
support, we're making great strides in banning the dog
meat trade in numerous cities and regencies in
Indonesia, and we're making a strong case for an end to
dog meat misery in South Korea.
Now more than
ever, we must stick together to keep the pressure on.
Add your name today!
Thank you for
all that you do for animals and for standing with us.
Your support is critical to ending this horror
and the many other cruelties we seek to
prevent.
Sincerely,
 |
