Miss Z, that part on the truck broke my heart too.
I just felt so incensed by what was on there I thought I have to write a letter, maybe it will do good, maybe it won't, but I just thought to myself I can't sit back and not at least try to help. I have the address of the Chinese prime minister, Hu Jintao, and I'm going to write a letter to him, explaining what is going on in his own country and ask if he'll make fur illegal in China, or at least if they are going to have fur (which people seem to be most stubborn about) then they MUST have some kind of law which states that the animals must be kept humanly and killed humanely (if that can make sense). I think fur is disgusting, and would never have anything like that, but I think the way these animals are treated just goes too far.
Even if there is not a ban on fur, there should be laws and tight restrictions on the way the animals are kept and slaughtered, so at least they don't spend their lives in pain, humiliation and fear.
I am also going to write a letter to Tony Blair and ask if he'll help to get a European Ban on the imports from China and other countries. I have the address of my MEP Glenys Kinnock who I will also write too.
I guess people could even write to a celebrity about it and ask them if they'll join. The bigger the better, if only somebody like say David Beckham would get on board it would give the campaign a big boost of publicity.
I've never written a letter to a politician before, so I don't want to make it too wordy and drone on that they won't listen, but just state the facts and ask for help. Hopefully somebody will at least read them and reply about it.
