JE TRANSMET DE LINDA 8 MAI 06
P.S SI QUELQU'UN VEUX LA TRADUCTION JE PEUX VOUS LE DONNER AVEC L'ADRESSE QUE J'AI POUR TRADUIRE
Late last month as the president of China, Hu Jintao, met with
President Bush at the White House, members of In Defense of
Animals (IDA) gathered outside. The reason for the gathering was
to screen video evidence revealing dogs and cats being skinned
alive in China and call on the leader to introduce and enforce
meaningful welfare standards regulating the treatment of animals
within the fur industry.
Those of us who care about animals are horrified to learn that
more than half of the world's fur products are imported from
China, where there are no animal welfare regulations and animals
suffer the worst kinds of abuses. Among the rabbits, coyotes,
foxes and other animals, millions of cats and dogs are brutally
murdered for their fur.
Many of them still wear collars and ID tags, an indication that
they were stolen from loving guardians to be turned into fur
trim and trinkets.
Today, I urge you to take action to help more animals from
suffering this tragic fate. Please sign a petition to urge the
Chinese government to pass National Animal Welfare Laws to
protect "man's best friends" and other fur bearing animals.
Dog and cat fur exported to the U.S. is often deliberately
mislabeled as being from another species, so many consumers who
purchase it are wearing the fur of a dog or cat without knowing
it.
Please take a few moments of your time today to help these
innocent victims of the fur trade.
1. Take action. Please sign a petition to urge the Chinese
government to pass a national animal welfare law, urgently
introduce and enforce legislation prohibiting the skinning of
live animals, urgently introduce and enforce legislation
prohibiting inhumane treatment and slaughter methods and
introduce and enforce legislation prohibiting the inhumane
confinement of animals. Even if you have signed before, please
take a moment to sign again:
