Dogs suffocated to death

I am copying this from the Yahoo Critical Rescue list and include the image (though there are several on website mentioned below), which is distressing:

Could you sit back and watch while defenseless dogs are bound and gagged and left to suffocate? While they are piled on top of each other and driven to a pitiful fate?
These poor wretched creatures cannot fight back against the cruel Philippine
traders who tie their mouths and bind their limbs and leave them to a slow
and painful death.
But you can fight back for them.
THREE WAYS you can stop the cruelty right now:
_1. Donate to help the dogs_ (http://www.networkforanimals.org/donate.htm)
_2. Contact a Philippine Ambassador now_
(http://www.networkforanimals.org/protest.htm)
_3. Email our web address to everyone in your address book._
(mailto:?Subject=Visit%20www.networkforanimals.org )
We suggest you use the blind C.C. mode of addressing.
Spread the word and start a chain reaction that will
shock the conscience of the world and stir politicians to action.
Our work in the Philippines is dangerous and costly: a _donation_
(http://www.networkforanimals.org/donate.htm) at this time
will help save poor, frightened dogs from a terrible fate.
_House Bill #2991_ (http://www.networkforanimals.org/bill2991.htm)
containing punitive new laws is currently before the Philippine Parliament. This bill will crush the economic viability of trading in dog meat if enacted. Our friends in Manila tell us, however, that NETWORK for ANIMALS must orchestrate an outcry both internationally and within the Philippines before legislators will act. Hence our message to _target ambassadors_
(http://www.networkforanimals.org/protest.htm) and appeal for _donations_
(http://www.networkforanimals.org/donate.htm) . Again, and so importantly, spread the word about this web
site and start a chain reaction that will shock the conscience of the world
and stir politicians to action.

I don't understand why are they doing this to innocent dogs:( It is making me cry, that is the most awful thing. The poor poor dogs:( I can't even get the thought out of my mind:( I really hope these dogs are helped and saved.:(

Those people who do this are just savages.

I was so unprepared for that picture. F&%$ing Pigs!!! I really really hate the human race sometimes and seeing this makes me hate them even more.

I would like to personally do the same thing to the scum that are doing this to these poor dogs. I know it sounds horrible but sometimes I think I would actually enjoy watching them suffer in the same way they have made those animals suffer. They deserve a much worse punishment but this way seems very barbaric and painful.

How defenseless and scared those poor animals must feel. What kind of person could just sit there and watch this. People really make me sick.

May those b@#^%$#@ rot in he!!

:mad:

P.S. When I clicked on your 1st link to make a donation, it talked about "pounds" as currency and not US dollars. How do I make a US dollars contribution?

I wrote to the organization and asked them this question; I will post their response when I get it.

The photograph disturbs me so much that I hate having it in my PhotoBucket account, but I must leave it there so it can be seen here. There are many other terrible images about the same abuse on their web site and a more extensive article on what the dogs go through. They can be tied up like this for days before they are hauled off to the slaughterhouse.
