It is time for China to end the brutally cruel dog and cat meat trade and issue animal protection laws, which will also be enforced . China's dog and cat meat trade is one of the country's most brutal areas of animal cruelty, where dogs and cats are routinely tortured in full view of passers by, who seem immune to what they are witnessing. Fully conscious dogs are hung up and have their lower legs cut off with a knife, then their eyes gouged out and are skinned alive, still conscious and writhing in agony as they hang from the neck, unable to scream out in pain. Other methods of torture on dogs and cats, such as setting fire to fully conscious dogs with a hand held blow torch, are equally as brutal. Many of the companion animals are stolen pets still wearing house collars and name tags. Torturing the animal is known as "tenderizing" the meat, to deliberately induce as much adrenaline as possible into the conscious animal's body, to ensure the meat is as tough as possible, under the false belief that tough meat passes greater medicinal value and boost to a man's libido. China has a growing population of 1.4 billion people, with a rapidly growing proportion of animal lovers and pet owners. Chinese animal lovers are finding their voice and demanding China's dog and cat meat trade be ended! Chinese animal lovers are demanding for China to implement and uphold animal protection laws, to guard animals and their own pets, against unspeakable acts of animal cruelty. We respectfully ask that the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China: - Activate animal cruelty laws, against maltreatment and neglect. - Provide funding for trap, neuter and release programs to prevent street dogs and cats from breeding. - Implement laws to make owners responsible for their dogs, to prohibit dogs loitering on streets. - All dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies. - Ban dog and cat meat in China and shut the trade down.

As a world leader in technology and development it is disappointing that China has little to no animal protection laws to guard the well being of it's animals. Consequently, animal cruelty is rife across the country, with perpetrators answering to no one. We know positive change is possible for China's animals after China brought in strict laws protecting Pandas from further slaughter. China's Panda protection law was upheld and enforced immediately it was passed.
