I've started a petition when I've read in an article in the German magazine "Stern" (issue No. 17, April 2001)
about how cruel cats are treated in China. In some gourmet restaurants, you can order cats for dinner,
and the torture and pain they have to go through before they finally get killed is beyond words
(you can read more in the body of the petition).
So I've decided to start this petition to let the Chinese goverment know that I don't agree and to
ask them to stop this cruelty.
BTW, after I've set up the petition, I've read another article on this subject (in ödp-Journal, No. 88, Jan. 1999),
which is so disgusting and horrible that I'm not sure if I should post about it here... However, in some Chinese restaurants they
offer "Choi Dong Tsai" (Jumping meat). This is a kitten, shaped and getting its tail and paws chopped off,
thrown into hot oil - while it is still alive!!! With all due respect to a foreign culture and their eating habits,
I think this is just perverted and sick! (I haven't mentioned this in the petition because I've applied for it
BEFORE I've read this article).
So please, if you share my concern, please sign at http://www.petitionpetition.com/cgi/...on.cgi?id=1724 and spread the word!
To those who already signed:
(Please note that this is petition No. 2. I've asked to delete the original one on Saturday because I wanted
to add a few lines directly adressed to the Chinese government to the body of the petition and since I couldn't edit
the text once the petition started, I've made a second one - this one. The first one will probably be deleted,
so if you've already signed there, it would be nice if you could sign this one, too. I'm sorry
for the inconvenience.)
Thank you very much!
Kirsten
