Kunming, Yunnan, June 28: Chinese activists discovered a truck loaded with some 400 or so dogs of various breeds on a highway near Kunming, provincial capital of Yunnan in Southwest China. Activists have pursued a five-hour chase, contacted law enforcement, and are gathering volunteers to intercept it. Dogs on board are suffering from high heat, hunger, thirst and weeks of abuse in the hands of the dog meat traders. These dogs are suspected of being stolen from people’s backyards. It is still too early to say if the dogs will be successfully rescued. But the leading activists, Humane Society International partner group members, are trying.
Petition:
Don’t let China host the 2019 World Dog Show unless it stops Yulin’s dog-meat festivals!

Target: Axel Dumas, CEO of Hermes
Goal: Stop the purchasing of alligator hide from business accused of animal cruelty.
An undercover investigation showed the use of brutal, inhumane, and unnecessary tactics for killing the alligators being farmed for their leather at Lone Star Alligator Farm in Texas. Investigators for PETA took footage of workers using box cutters to stab and twist into the spinal column of one year old alligators, placing some of them in ice bins to suffer while still alive. The alligators were labeled and named based on the size of skin they would offer, with the smaller ones being referred to as wristbands.
The standard way to kill alligators for hide is to knock them out with a livestock stun gun and then drain their blood by cutting major vessels and hanging them upside down.
Last year the farm reported they killed and salted 15,000 alligators to make tens of thousands of watches and purses for Hermes, a fashion company.
After PETA gathered video showing the inhumane treatment of the alligators, they turned it over to the county sheriff. After extensive research about alligator cruelty laws and the video evidence, Lone Star was formally accused of animal cruelty. They were then found not guilty by a jury and the video has since been released online by PETA.
Due to these allegations and the video evidence gathered by PETA, Hermes should stop allowing Lone Star to supply them with their expensive alligator hides. By cutting Lone Star out as a provider of animal hides, Hermes will show they don’t support the inhumane treatment of the animals they use for their goods and force all suppliers to be more careful in ensuring the animals they farm don’t suffer needlessly.
Sign this petition to demand that Hermes end any association with these animal abusers.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Dumas,
PETA recorded video from within one of your company’s alligator hide suppliers showing the animals being brutally slaughtered and forced to suffer needlessly. The charges against Lone Star Alligator Farm have been dropped despite much work from PETA and Sheriff Brian Hawthorne, but you can still hold them accountable for their mistreatment of alligators.
As a company that uses alligator hides in so many expensive goods, ensuring that the animals giving their lives for these goods are treated properly should be a priority to you and your customers. Having the animals suffer at the hands of the people taking their hides should not be condoned and policies that allow the alligators to die in as little pain as possible should be enforced.
Remove Lone Star as one of your alligator suppliers and turn your company’s purchases to farms that make sure their animals are being slaughtered in as humane a way as possible. These animals are giving their lives to become your expensive goods and should be treated with respect.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Come on folks, we are not asking the world !
– we have got the ball rolling by over 50% – is making up the rest from animal people around the World too much to ask ?
Our Novak really has no luck at all…
We had to bring him back to the vet.. He got sick at the pansion, got high temperature, he didn’t eat for days…
At the moment he is at the vet, in the box?, receiving treatment. Vet agreed that Novak should stay in, and he will spend July in box?
Because of our unpaid debt from June, we have to pay for his treatment, flea and tick protection and his stay, because we don’t know what to do with him and where to put him..
He is a special dog, and he needs some time to adapt to changes..
Please, help us… Novak has no choice right now.. Either street, or this…
There is a third option – adopting…
Please, share and help. Novak depends on you…
More than 40 Euros can be given to this cause – the money will always be used where it is required to help suffering animals – Thank You.
