I'm a life long animal lover and am proud to say I raised Soncat to love and respect all the creatures on God's earth. He has often said, "You can see how people will treat other people by the way they treat animals" I have to agree.
This type of cruel indifference to all living things will do nothing positive for China's image in the world community. The situation with Tibet makes the news every night and now this. Not only will I send an e-mail to the Chinese embassy, I intend to make sure that all my animal loving friends know about this senseless and wanton cruelty which is based on pure lies and will encourage them to stand up and make their outrage known.
Going to China for the games is out of the question but I will say this; I will boycott in other ways...I will NOT watch any of the games and will let the television station carrying coverage know why in no uncertain terms!! In addition I will NOT purchase any item that in any way promotes or supports China's hosting of the Olympics this or any other year.
Thank you so very much for giving us this heads-up!
