| A Poem to my Foster Dog |
I am the bridge
between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.
I am made of mush,
because my heart melted when I saw you, matted and sore, limping, depressed, lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.
For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand I will love you with my whole heart I will make you whole.
I am made of steel,
because when the time comes, when you are well and sleek, when your eyes shine, and your tail wags with joy then comes the hard part.
I will let you go not without a tear,
but without a regret. For you are safe forever A new dog needs me now. 1999 by Diane Morgan |

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.
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
n

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/
Please take a moment to write to the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to your country (http://www.embassyworld.com/

PETA Asia-Pacific has worked with popular Chinese celebrities, including Maggie Q (http://www.PETAAsiaPacific.
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.

Thanks for caring and for everything that you do to help animals!
Sincerely,
Jenni Wilson
