Brutal Chinese Continue Their Horrific Fur Trade: Dogs and Cats Also Tortured and Killed. Here’s Video Proof
Just another video that once again proves that the Chinese are the cruelest people on Earth. Take a look below for proof, as videos cannot lie.
*IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME THAT CATS AND DOGS ARE TORTURED BY THE HEARTLESS CHINESE, YOU’LL SEE PROOF THAT THEY ARE TOWARD THE END OF THE VIDEO. REMEMBER, THESE COULD BE THE DOGS AND CATS YOU GREW UP WITH.
And, keep this in mind: "There are no penalties for abusing animals on fur farms in China, which is the world's largest fur exporter, supplying more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States."

Cruel China at it Again: Brutally Kills over 36,000 Dogs in City of Hanzhong: Dog Killing Squads Beating Dogs to Death with Sticks and Rocks
I’ll tell you….China just never stops being the cruelest country on Earth. In this ridiculous episode of torture and cruelty, they have allowed the brutal, bloody massacre of ALL dogs in a city because of A FEW cases of rabies. And of course, being China, they make sure the killing is cruel, bloody, painful and merciless via the use of sticks, bats and rocks. As you’ll read below, some are burned alive.
A few articles have been published about this. I have included an email below that I received that has some links that you can follow to take some action. I don’t endorse the group (or any for that matter), but they seem to be the only one doing anything (if they are). Nonetheless, I wanted to bring this to your attention and make sure that everyone still knows that China is the cruelest country on Earth.
For more information on just how cruel China is, also see our article “Crash Course in the Unbelievable Cruelty Behind the Eating of Cats and Dogs in Korea and China: Sick Countries Beyond Ethically Challenged” at http://geari.blogspot.com/2006/03/crash-course-in-unbelievable-cruelty.html
The email below has this link too, but to send an e-mail to the Chinese Ambassador urging China to stop mass dog slaughters like the one in Hanzhong City follow this link: http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw_united_states/get_involved/take_action/take_action_2.php?msource=DR090601001#x
Email I received:
A massive cull in the Chinese city of Hanzhong has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 dogs - and now we need your help to make sure that it never happens again.
To contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country to call for an end to mass slaughters like this and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals follow this link: http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw_united_states/get_involved/take_action/take_action_2.php?msource=DR090601001#x
The local government ordered the mass slaughter of all dogs as the result of a few cases of rabies deaths. Dog killing squads are stalking the streets, mercilessly beating dogs to death with sticks and rocks.
Friendly dogs - even healthy family pets - are being slaughtered right in front of their owners. Can you even begin to imagine how you'd feel if that happened to your dog?
IFAW has pleaded with government officials to stop the killing - and now we turn to you.
Please help us stop these cruel and massive slaughters once and for all.
Horrifying scenes of cruelty
Some of the pictures from culls like these are so horrifying that I can't even show them to you. And I hate having to describe this, but I think you need to know the truth about what's happening.
In one series of pictures, several small and fluffy white dogs - you can just tell they're used to snuggling on the laps of their loving owners - are trapped in a makeshift cage. One by one, the dogs are pulled out with a pair of long metal tongs, and brutally beaten with a stick. And then - even though it appears that some of the dogs may still be alive - they're tossed into a pit to be burned.
I can't even imagine the pain and terror these poor dogs endure when the fire is set.
So many dogs will suffer slow and painful deaths...we must stop this cruelty now!
What we're doing and how you can help
We have received so many messages in the past few days from animal lovers like you inside and outside China - pleading with us to step in and stop the slaughters like the one in Hanzhong City.
I assure you, IFAW is working to end these culls:
* We've already contacted local authorities in Hanzhong City to urge them to end the slaughter. Now you can help by contacting the Chinese Ambassador in your country.
* IFAW is creating an emergency rabies vaccination fund so that we can offer rural communities in China an alternative to mass slaughters like the one in Hanzhong. Please give generously to our emergency rabies vaccination fund.
* We're working with the central government to pass animal welfare legislation in China that will ensure the humane treatment of all animals. IFAW has already helped major cities like Beijing establish dog regulations that mandate humane vaccination and population control.
We CAN stop culls like this
We recently joined with concerned animal lovers in China to stop a similar mass slaughter in the city of Heihe by pointing out that the killing of dogs that have rightful owners is a violation of the basic rights of a citizen - owned dogs and cats are considered the "personal property" of Chinese citizens, and should be protected under China's Constitution.
Plus, it has been proven that rabies can be effectively controlled by a well-managed vaccination program. In fact, a humane vaccination and neuter program in Chennai, India, has dramatically reduced rabies cases there by over 95%.
So we must act now to stop the killing! Please click here- http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw_united_states/get_involved/take_action/take_action_2.php?msource=DR090601001#x to contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country to call for an end to mass slaughters like this and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals.
And then please donate what you can today to help us set up an emergency vaccination fund to help cities in China establish rabies prevention programs, help eliminate these mass dog culls once and for all, and to continue our mission to protect animals around the world from cruelty.
The slaughtered dogs of Hanzhong City deserved a better fate. Please help us ensure that dogs in other communities in China are protected from similar mass killings.

Cruel China at It Again: Allows Tourists to Pay To Have LIVE Animals Thrown From Trucks to Be Mauled By Live Tigers
I need to repeat that these are LIVE animals. Some as big as OX. So they will literally dump a live OX or cow from a truck and then sicko tourists and their sick Chinese counterparts have a good laugh.
Here’s a little from the article below. The article actually has pictures and I encourage you to visit them. Just read this and you’ll be blown away once again by the cruelty of China:
“EYES rolling and squealing with fear, the cow is forced from the back of a moving pick-up truck into the dirt.
There is an explosion of dust, blood and flashing cameras as an ambush of tigers moves in for the kill, tearing great strips off the animal's back as it struggles for a second, then goes still, bar the odd twitch.
A minute later there is little left of the ton-weight heifer except a scrap of skin, a mess of bones and a puddle of blood.”
“To watch a live chicken thrown to the tigers costs £2.50. You can also opt for an £8 duck, an £8 pheasant or a £40 sheep. Strapped for cash? You can choose raw steak for 80p. But the prize is a cow or ox, which costs £120.”
More about Cruel China can also be found at the links below. The first link is especially telling as it provides actual photos of the reality of animal torture in China:

EYES rolling and squealing with fear, the cow is forced from the back of a moving pick-up truck into the dirt.
There is an explosion of dust, blood and flashing cameras as an ambush of tigers moves in for the kill, tearing great strips off the animal's back as it struggles for a second, then goes still, bar the odd twitch.
A minute later there is little left of the ton-weight heifer except a scrap of skin, a mess of bones and a puddle of blood.
Seconds from death... a truck ready to dump the doomed cow
But this is not some wild savannah. Welcome instead to China's latest tourist craze - paying up to £120 a time to feed live animals to ravenous Siberian tigers. From four packed buses goggle-eyed tourists shoot roll after roll of film, and even clap. One Westerner waves a roll of notes at the tour guide, excitedly gesturing at the bizarre menu pinned to the wall.
A chicken is gobbled up by one of the ravenous tigers
To watch a live chicken thrown to the tigers costs £2.50. You can also opt for an £8 duck, an £8 pheasant or a £40 sheep. Strapped for cash? You can choose raw steak for 80p. But the prize is a cow or ox, which costs £120. The Heilongjiang Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, Northern China, is becoming one of the country's top destinations. The park is home to more than 700 of these huge animals - also known as Amur or Manchurian tigers. There are just 400 left in the wild. One tourist who got more than he bargained for from the hourlong £4 tour was American Paul Gray, 40. "I was expecting a safari, not a bloodbath," he said. "But people were baying for more. One of the guides threw a chicken and it landed on one of the support vehicles. A tiger leapt on to the roof and gobbled it up in one go. I was horrified."
Last year, Wang Wei, of China's Wildlife Conservation Department, promised to "put an end to shows of feeding beasts of prey with live animals". But, today, it is still very much business as usual.
