Stand Against Brutal Chinese Dog Trade!
The Chinese practice of eating dog meat is widely considered taboo, but many believe it is no worse than eating any other type of animal. Unfortunately, the dogs used in the Chinese dog meat trade endure great suffering during transport and are blugeoned nearly to death with metal bars before being sold to a customer.
Recently, animal rights activists documented a truck carrying 500 dogs to market. Shocking photos show the dogs crammed tightly into cages with their heads and bodies shoved against metal bars. Because of the extreme heat and horrible conditions, some of the dogs were already dead. The activists attempted to stop the truck and save the dogs, but were attacked by thugs.
Cramped, hot, unsanitary conditions and brutal slaughter are typical of the Chinese dog meat trade. These loving, loyal animals deserve to be treated humanely. Please urge Chinese legislators to end cruel and brutal transportation and slaughter practices used in the Chinese dog meat trade.
To: Chinese Legislators
We, the undersigned, are shocked to learn about the horrible treatment dogs endure in the Chinese meat trade. We understand that eating dog is a Chinese tradition and may not be morally worse than eating any other type of animal. Unfortunately, the dogs used in the Chinese dog meat trade endure great suffering during transport and are blugeoned nearly to death with metal bars before being sold to a customer. We believe that these acts are unnecessary and cruel.

We believe that dogs are loving, loyal animals that deserve to be treated humanely. We urge you to create legislation to end cruel and brutal transportation and slaughter practices used in the Chinese dog meat trate. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our petition.
