We are lucky in America to be living in the land of the free and the home of the brave; so are our canine companions. Even though there may be a problem with stray dogs and cats in many communities, we do not have government officials knocking at our doors, invading our homes, taking away our pets and beating them to death in front of us with clubs, then throwing the corpses in trucks to cart them off to a processing plant and marketing the fur, meat and bone byproducts. Yet this is exactly what is happening in China!
Recently over 50,000 dogs were rounded up and killed in China. These were not stray dogs, but people's pets. When corrupt Chinese communist government officials realized how much money they could make doing this, they then conspired to continue the operations and have ordered more canine round ups to the tune of over half a million dogs! To prevent the world from seeing what they are doing media blackouts have been imposed.
This is a terrible crime against helpless animals and their owners. But in China people are not free and have no way to defend themselves and their property against such atrocities. Even though in English dog may spell God backwards, in China dog spells profit, and the corrupt communist government officials have realized they can make big profits off of harvesting dogs from their canine companions using rabies scares to justify their brutal campaign to bludgeon to death tens of thousands of dogs for profit.
The World Health Organization has long held that culling dogs is not an effective method for controlling rabies, that only vaccination programs work to control rabies. So the free world should not be fooled by what corrupt communist government officials are saying to justify their slaughtering of dogs in China. The reason these corrupt officials are killing tens of thousand of dogs in China is to make millions of dollars off of marketing canine byproducts, not to control rabies.
In some parts of the world there is a big market for dog byproducts. Dogs are eaten in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Dog fur is made into hand bags and other products. Dog skins and bones can even be used to make Jell-O. Because dog byproducts can be used to make so many different products, and it cost nothing for those involved in harvesting dogs from the general population, there are big profits to be made by the corrupt government officials who have orchestrated the canine genocide in China.
Therefore an international boycott has been called for by Project K9 which has been echoed by the NSPCA (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). For more information please visit Boycott Made In China at http://www.byteland.org/boycottchina/index.html and learn how you can help.
It is important that everyone who loves their canine companions take a stand against what is happening in China. I know when as children our mother's might say to eat all our food as some poor child in China might be starving, or that it was senseless to worry about the price of tea in China. But in the modern world what happens in China does have a global impact. The Jell-O you eat tomorrow could have come from someone's pet brutally killed in China. Or even worse, these same corrupt communist in China who have such disregard for life that they are killing people's pets for profit could be providing terrorist with nuclear weapons technology tomorrow, knowing that it will be used to kill and destroy Americans.
Indeed, we are lucky to live in America, and our dogs are lucky too. So please take a stand against the killing of canines in China. If you do nothing else, at least put a bumper sticker on your car that says "Boycott Made In China!" We must protest these K9 Killers before they get so much power and control that they start killing us!
