Chifeng city dog slaughter
17 August 2009
Animals Asia has received information from contacts in Chifeng City,
Inner Mongolia that the Hongshan district police office has instigated a
policy of indiscriminate dog slaughter. The authorities in Chifeng City
issued dog-management regulations to the people of the city back in 2003.
The authorities claim that in recent years, the behaviour of dogs and
their guardians has become out of control. Therefore in August 2009, the
police issued an official announcement forbidding dogs and dog guardians
from:
*1. Raising large dogs and dangerous dogs in the downtown area of
Chifeng City.
2. Entering markets, shops, restaurants, parks, public greenbelt,
schools, hospitals, movie theaters, gymnasiums, pleasure grounds, bus
stations, airports, streets, resident communities, and other public areas.
3. Walking dogs on the street and footpath.
4. Entering public vehicles and elevators.
If anyone gets out of line, the police will kill all such dogs…. *
Evidence of this slaughter has been confirmed by the online news agency
sina.com at http://bbs.news.sina.com.cn/thread-9-0/tree-842212-3930.html
*[Please be warned this link contains disturbing images]*
Animals Asia is saddened and appalled by these actions being carried out
by the Chifeng authorities and the development of archaic rules to
regulate dog-guardianship in the city and control street-dog populations.
Animals Asia, in partnership with Chinese animal-welfare groups as part
of the “Friends of Animals Asia Alliance” has written to the Chifeng
authorities calling for an immediate end to this mass slaughter, and
asking the authorities to consider a “grandfather” approach allowing
people to keep the dogs they have and, once they have died naturally,
instructing owners not to replace them with other dogs. This will at
least allow owners to keep their beloved family members. Our coalition
letter is below.

Asia strives to prevent more culls, please click here

*What you can do*
You can help support our efforts to battle this atrocity. Please write a
polite letter to the Chinese Ambassador and send it to the main embassy
address in your country. Embassy addresses can be found here:
www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/embassy_list.htm
<http://www.animalsasia.org/www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/embassy_list.htm>
Explain, politely but firmly, that the policy is cruel, heartless and
ineffective, and paints the people and government of Chifeng in a very
poor light.
Urge the Chinese authorities to persuade the Chifeng City government to
abandon this carnage in favour of a humane trap-neuter-release and
vaccination programme, as recommended by the WHO, and animal-welfare
organisations worldwide. Please urge the authorities in Beijing to allow
dog owners to keep the dogs they already have and allow them to live out
their natural lives.

Dear Mr Chu Bo,
* The undersigned organisations jointly call on the Chifeng City
authorities to stop the indiscriminate killing of innocent dogs. *
We have received information from contacts in Chifeng City reporting the
Hongshan district police office have instigated a policy of
indiscriminate dog slaughter. Information suggests the police are
implementing dog-management regulations issued in 2003 which forbid all
dogs from entering the public areas of the city, forbid people from
walking their dogs on the streets and forbid large dogs in the downtown
areas. Dogs found in public are being brutally slaughtered. This mass
slaughter is being publicised worldwide via the sina.com website.
http://bbs.news.sina.com.cn/thread-9-0/tree-842212-3930.html.
<http://bbs.news.sina.com.cn/thread-9-0/tree-842212-3930.html>
We are appalled at this slaughter, and ask you to put a stop to this
immediately.
We also appeal to you to adopt internationally recognised methods of
street-dog population management. The mass slaughter of street dogs is
an ineffective way of controlling dog populations. Innovative solutions
to the problems of stray-dog control, such as "Animal Birth Control"
programmes coupled with effective waste management, are being adopted
throughout the world, with statistically proven results: shelter intakes
are down, “nuisance” animals greatly reduced and most importantly

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, July/August 2009:
China completes draft animal welfare legislation
BEIJING, MOSCOW-- China on July 7, 2009 announced the
completion of a draft national animal welfare law. To be published
for public comment in August 2009, "The proposed draft clearly
delineates how animals should be raised, transported, and
slaughtered," reported China Central Television, the state
broadcasting company. "It also calls for penalties and criminal
punishment for animal abuse. The draft law covers wildlife, farm
and companion animals."
"Severe violators could be sent to prison, while lighter
punishments would include fines and detention of fewer than 15 days,"
elaborated a report in the English-language Global Times.
"Animals have the right not to be scared, hurt, or killed
by human beings," said Chinese Academy of Social Sciences social
law research director Chang Jiwen. "Our motivation is to protect
animals, while at the same time protecting the sensibilities and
interests of humans. We should treat animals humanely. But that
doesn't mean we cannot make use of them."
Elaborated CCTV, "Currently only endangered animals are
protected. No existing law addresses animal welfare systematically.
A comprehensive animal protection law is considered imperative as
cases of animal abuse are on the rise. In June 2009 at least 30,000
dogs were culled in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, following a rabies
outbreak which caused 12 human deaths. The cull has triggered harsh
criticism from the public.
"A recent survey carried out by the Internet portal Sina.com
shows 89% of more than 63,000 people surveyed support the
legislation," CCTV continued.
"The draft law will be submitted to the National People's
Congress by the end of the year," said CCTV. "The draft must go
through the State Council and receive three readings from the
National Party Congress Standing Committee before being adopted as
law."
Whether the draft law will address cruelties associated with
eating cats, dogs, and wildlife was not discussed in the
preliminary coverage, but twice in the first two weeks of August
police and other public officials in the Shanghai region reportedly
assisted rescuers who stopped trucks and saved allegedly stolen cats
from transport to live markets in Guangdong.
The Guangdong region, south of Shanghai, is the only part
of China where cats are commonly eaten, and as much as 80% of
Chinese dog and wildlife consumption also occurs there.
People 4 Chinese Animals issued a public thanks to five law
enforcement agencies for their assistance in arranging ransom for as
many as 2,000 cats.
Similar incidents, occurring in southern China for the past
two years, are believed to hint that the Beijing government is fed
up with the more notorious Guangdong practices. Beijing has also
repeatedly reinforced regulation of commerce in birds and reptiles,
conducted mainly in the south, and of live poultry markets,
implicated in frequent disease outbreaks during the past dozen years.
Frustrated Russian animal advocates could only envy the
Chinese progress. "Hopes that Russia might at long last pass an
animal protection law were dashed on June 5, 2009, Environmental
Protection Day," VITA president Irina Novozhilova told ANIMAL
PEOPLE. "Animal welfare was supposed to be the theme of a conference
scheduled for that day at the State Duma [parliament] under the title
'Humane attitudes to animals: a moral necessity for civil society,'
but on arrival animal activists were dumbfounded to read in the
official handout that [the participating elected officials] had
withdrawn demands for a comprehensive animal protection law, asking
merely that the government improve the existing legislation dating
from Soviet times.
"For more than a decade VITA in collaboration with other
Russian animal protection organisations has been battling for a
federal law to protect animals from cruel treatment," Novozhilova
continued. "A draft law, the work of Tatyana Pavlova," who died in
2007, "in the 1990s passed three readings in the Duma. There was
optimism that Presi-dent Boris Yeltsin would sign it into law early
in 2000. Unluckily for billions of animals, Yeltsin resigned, and
one of the first actions of his successor, Vladimir Putin, was to
send the draft law back for revision. The draft remained in limbo
until March 2008, when it was removed from the Duma's legislative
agenda."

*Subject:* Foreclosure in Texas With Tigers
Hi Karen,
I've been contacted by a housing organization in Ohio about a family
that has an exotic pet rescue and they have tigers. They are also
facing foreclosure. I figured if I was going to try to help place the
tigers for the folks in Ohio, I might as well work on the Texas gig as
well. Nothing is too much for No Paws... Do you have any information
on the Texas foreclosure?
