The story<br \/>\ngenerated such mass outrage among the American Public that this bill,<br \/>\nwhich had been previously defeated, was finally enacted.<\/div>\n<div>We, in the Animal Rights Community, are constantly reading about the<br \/>\nhorrors inflicted on China%u2019s animals where not a single Animal<br \/>\nProtection Law is in place.  These atrocities are especially heinous and<br \/>\nprevalent in the fur trade.  Dogs and cats are strangled, bludgeoned,<br \/>\nelectrocuted and even skinned alive and their fur is used in trim,<br \/>\naccessories and toys that are sold to markets abroad.    Although many<br \/>\nnews outlets, including yours, are incessantly focussed on China as an<br \/>\nemerging superpower and the world%u2019s largest creditor nation, you<br \/>\nhave not presented a single story or essay about the extreme carnage<br \/>\nvisited on animals in that country, particularly in the fur trade.<br \/>\nAmerican stores are now flooded with products from China and U.S.<br \/>\nconsumers have a right to know about this gruesome and unthinkable<br \/>\naspect of Chinese commerce.    As a news channel committed to<br \/>\ninvestigative journalism, we feel it is urgent for you to bring this to<br \/>\nthe attention of your viewers.  Untold suffering may be alleviated and<br \/>\nmillions of lives may be saved.<\/div>\n<p><strong><a id=\"myphotolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9waG90by5waHA\/cGlkPTQwNTU2OCZpZD0xMjY5MTQwNDA2ODUwNzU=\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-ak-ash1\/182639_180153845361094_126914040685075_397564_6546159_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong>Please join me at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vYml0Lmx5L2FUUDhWVg==\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Friendburst<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZyaWVuZGJ1cnN0LmNvbS9hZHZvY2F0ZWZvcnNhdmluZ2RvZ3Mv\" target=\"_blank\">Advocate for Saving Dogs\u2122<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZyaWVuZGJ1cnN0LmNvbS9BbmltYWxfUmlnaHRzLy8=\" target=\"_blank\">Animal Rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZyaWVuZGJ1cnN0LmNvbS9XZUFyZUFsbENvbm5lY3RlZC8=\" target=\"_blank\">\u2665We\u2665Are\u2665All\u2665Connected\u2665<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZyaWVuZGJ1cnN0LmNvbS9Xb2xmV2Fycmlvci8=\" target=\"_blank\">Wolfen Warriors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZyaWVuZGJ1cnN0LmNvbS9ibG9nLzE4MjczL2Fkdm9jYXRlLXNhdmluZy1kb2dzLWxpc3QtYmxvZ3Mv\" target=\"_blank\"> Click Here For A Complete List Of Blogs By AfSD\u2122<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"parsed_image\" src=\"\/\/file\/pic\/photo\/2011\/02\/WolfMaster-animal-transp_500.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted By: Advocate for Saving Dogs Tell CNN to Expose Atrocities of China&#8217;s Fur Trade http:\/\/www.thepetitionsite.com\/1\/tell-cnn-to-expose-atrocities-of-chinas-fur-trade\/ signatures: 1,203 Target: Time Warner, Inc.
