Dear Commissioner Hawkins,

I am writing to plead with you to look into closing the gas chamber at your shelter. Gassing is not humane but far from it. More often the animals are suffocated to death in a gas chamber, they do not go calmly to sleep as many are erroneously led to believe. I have seen videos of dogs gasping for oxygen and screaming in the chambers. It is a horrible, horrible way to kill any animal. In Ohio recently, dogs/puppies/cats/kittens were thrown in the incinerator to burn alive because they were not successfully killed in the chamber as thought by careless and indifferent employees at the shelter. 

Please read this article. http://www.animalsheltering.org/resources/policies_guidelines/carbon-monoxide-co-for-euthanasia-of-animals-in-shelters.html


 I have grown up in the mountains of North Carolina, I am the daughter of a farmer in Jackson County. I live in Asheville now. We use IV to euthanize our animals and we have a strong rescue program.
Please, please consider a more humane way to manage stray and overpopulated dogs and cats in Cleveland County.  The world is literally watching Shelby on social networks.
Dear Pamela,

Thank you so much for your incredible compassion for our canine brothers and sisters. It’s a travesty how they are enslaved, tortured and killed. My heart breaks too. Not just for the dogs but for all beings similarly treated. That’s why I am a committed vegan. It’s hypocritical to love one species and eat and exploit another.

Anyway, I’m sure your prayers and practices done out of compassion for these dogs in China and directed toward their welfare will be of benefit, admittedly small, I’m afraid, but what can we do in the face of such overwhelming ignorance and cruelty? I think vocal advocacy would probably more effective than prayers, to be honest. Becoming a vegan and encouraging others to do so covers all bases.

The “failed monk” thing is said (don’t know how true it is) to apply to dogs that hang around monasteries, not dogs in general.

Thank you for reaching out.

Much love

Wonderful informative response from Jennifer at PETA on the dogs and cats of Southeast Asia.

Dear Ms. Gardner,

Thank you for contacting PETA about helping animals in Asia. The abuses perpetrated against animals throughout China are often incomprehensible. Animals languish in substandard zoos all over the country, “entertainment” parks where patrons can purchase live animals to feed to tigers continue their clandestine operations, and dog and cat markets flourish all over the region. Working against awful situations such as these is not usually possible from a legal standpoint because, for the most part, no penalties exist.

Based in Hong Kong, PETA Asia-Pacific has a focus on China, with several employees who constantly travel to cities such as Beijing, Jining, Nanjing, and Shanghai to meet with government officials in order to discuss ways of helping them treat animals more humanely. Many of PETA’s victories across Asia have been achieved by working with local governments—instead of against them—to cultivate positive relationships with them that will benefit work for animals in the future. The issues that they have discussed include implementing a humane rabies control program; improving animal shelters; passing legislation that would require all companion animals to be vaccinated, sterilized, and registered; and how conditions for animals in the fur industry and zoos can be improved. PETA Asia-Pacific has also conducted investigations of Chinese fur farms and markets that have documented the horrific and unregulated slaughter of raccoons, rabbits, cats, and dogs.

In 2009, a groundbreaking animal-protection law was introduced in China that includes basic legal protection for wild animals, companion animals, animals in laboratories, animals who are transported, animals used for entertainment, and animals slaughtered for food. This legislation is still pending, and PETA Asia-Pacific is working hard to ensure that the highest possible animal welfare standards are included in the law. To learn more about the law, please visit http://www.PETA.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2010/03/30/chinas-groundbreaking-animal-protection-law.aspx.

Please take a moment to write to the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to your country (http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/China/China1.html) and ask him or her to do everything possible to intervene in behalf of animals in China. If you are a U.S. citizen, contact:

His Excellency Cui Tiankai
Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China

PETA Asia-Pacific has worked with popular Chinese celebrities, including Maggie Q (http://www.PETAAsiaPacific.com/feature-maggieq.asp), Sun Li, and Jackie Chan to raise awareness about vegan living, fur, and other animal rights issues. More than 200,000 Chinese people have now viewed PETA Asia’s Mandarin language anti-fur video, and there are more than 40,000 Chinese subscribers to PETA Asia-Pacific’s Chinese Twitter account.

PETA Asia-Pacific also sponsored an international symposium on animal welfare in Beijing, where thousands of posters promoting humane rabies-control programs were distributed. The posters were also sent to several local governments in China and can now be seen in some of the biggest cities in the country, including Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. PETA Asia-Pacific will continue to offer these posters to local governments in China in order to help educate people about humane ways to resolve rabies outbreaks.

Grassroots work is essential to the success of the animal rights movement, and PETA Asia-Pacific works closely with local activists and groups throughout China to protect animal rights, and more than 200 Chinese activists attended PETA Asia-Pacific’s organizational meetings for activists in Shanghai and Beijing. Some of their efforts to further public education in the country include the creation of Chinese websites, including an anti-fur site, http://www.81Fur.com, and a vegetarian resource site, http://www.51Veg.com. They also have created several Chinese leaflets, which they distribute to local groups and activists free of charge. To find out more about what you can do to help Chinese animals, please visit http://www.PETAAsiaPacific.com/activist.asp.

Thanks for caring and for everything that you do to help animals!

Sincerely,
