Petition Letter

To Mr. Zheng Zeguang – Ambassador of China to the United Kingdom; London.

China has an international reputation for continued animal cruelty and rarely introducing legislation to protect animals.

This petition is associated with cat suffering (torture) and killing in China.

You can refer to a lot of our recent posts associated with this issue at  Search Results for “china cat torture” – World Animals Voice

Gandhi is famous for saying, “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way animals are treated in it”, thus following from this, it can be clearly seen that China is at the lowest level of civilization; sinking into the abyss.

As you can see by visiting our site via the above link, a network of cat torturers has been established and are developing, initially in China.

Using the Dark Web it forms an online community that creates cruel torture, which can be unbearable to imagine to the average ‘normal’ person.

Deranged members of these sites film their acts of torture and share them on the social network Telegram where many groups have been created.  There is an international membership. Members can even suggest what cruelty they wish to be inflicted on animals; including crucifixion, dousing in boiling water and securing and cooking live animals on barbeques.

Sites, are sometimes closed down initially, but then continue to act their disgusting crimes by recreating them.  Some sites can contain anything from 100 to 10,000+ members.

On these sites, abusers claim and enjoy their actions, without any respite for the cats and kittens they torture and kill.

This is because they act knowing they are currently unstoppable, given that there is no legislation in China that protects animals or the showing of killings on networks. Basically, they can do whatever they want, and subsequently you can imagine how far their twisted, perverted and screwed up minds can go to cause suffering to animals.

They also have the freedom to taunt animal rights activists, who are completely helpless due to a lack of regulation and control, despite their unwavering determination to try and prevent this perversion.

Thus, activists everywhere call on all international animal protection organizations to come to the aid and take up their fight, which is a question of ethics without borders.

We implore you Mr. Zheng Zeguang – Ambassador of China to the United Kingdom (UK) to use your power so that the Chinese state takes immediate measures to protect the animals in this said territory!

Thus, we demand the implementation of a law against acts of animal cruelty by China, and the arrest and punishment of these individuals who commit these acts of extreme cruelty! We also demand legislative action is commenced to stamp down on sites which allow this abuse to continue.  Because of your status, you are able to influence these decisions.

Please be aware that many people are outraged that such acts can continue via the dark web network. Do you want the country you represent to be known as a hell of a place for animals?

Due to the ignorance on this animal abuse network by the Chinese government, an extremely dangerous and disturbing online community has spread and unfortunately is continuing to grow.

Network members inflict horrific acts on cats: they are put in blenders as well as cooked alive in microwaves and ovens, they are slowly grilled whilst alive on fires, have parts of their bodies hacked off, and soaked in chemicals causing them to literally dissolve alive.  Their skin can be removed, eyes gouged out, and stamped on by women in high heels – the ‘crush’ videos.

Their torture session is filmed, and broadcast online on global platforms, such as Telegram or Twitter, so these extremely dangerous individuals can lead young minds down the path of evil. The future of our humanity is very worrisome if we do nothing.  History has taught us that those who start by killing animals often go on to become killers of humans.

We, the undersigned, call on Ambassador Zheng Zeguang and all relevant Chinese authorities and government to take severe measures to put an end to this network of torture as a matter of utmost urgency.

Thank you;

Mark; (Founder) ‘World Animals Voice’ (WAV); London, England UK; and Diana (WAV) Germany.

Petition Letter:

We implore you Mr. Lu Shaye – Ambassador of China to France

To use your power so that the Chinese state takes immediate measures to protect the animals in this said territory! We demand the implementation of a law against acts of animal cruelty! The arrest and punishment of these individuals who commit these acts of extreme cruelty! Because of your status, you are able to influence these decisions.

Be aware that many people are outraged that such acts can continue. Do you want the country you represent to be known as a hell of a place for animals?

Due to the inertia of the Chinese government, an extremely dangerous and disturbing online community has spread. Its members inflict horrific acts on cats: Put in blenders as well as microwaves or ovens, slowly grill on the fire, cut parts of the body, soaked in chemicals to let them dissolve alive, remove skin, scratch and gouge out eyes, crushed with hammers, submerged in boiling water, hung by the neck and ears, perforated with iron bars, teeth and nails torn out.

The latter, we will never cease to recall, are living beings acquired from a sentience just like you, and experiencing a physical pain, in no way less than we could feel. Their torture session is filmed, and broadcast online on global platforms, such as Telegram or Twitter, so these extremely dangerous individuals can lead young minds down the path of evil. The future of our humanity is very worrisome if we do nothing.

We remind you of Gandhi’s words, “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way animals are treated in it”, therefore China is at the lowest level of civilization. This is an ethical issue in which the true character of our souls will be revealed.

We, the undersigned, call on Ambassador Lu Shaye of China and all relevant authorities to take severe measures to put an end to this network of torture as a matter of urgency.

EU: Animal Welfare Standards To Be Considered In EU Investments In Ukraine.

1 March 2024

Eurogroup for Animals welcomes the explicit recognition of animal welfare in the scope of the financial aid and calls on the EU to ensure that the Facility will indeed foster improved animal welfare standards in all grants and loans given to the Ukrainian beneficiaries.

On 27 February the European Parliament approved the revision of the EU’s long term budget, which includes the so-called Ukraine Facility mechanism. The Facility mechanism – powered with 50 billion EUR – will be the EU’s main instrument providing financial support to Ukraine until 2027. Importantly, animal welfare is recognised as an objective of the Facility mechanism.  

Fostering investments in line with EU animal welfare standards is becoming critical in light of the unconditional and full trade liberalisation between the EU and Ukraine in place since 30 May 2022. This full liberalisation is for now further fuelling intensive animal agriculture in Ukraine with a significant increase of poultry meat and egg imports. Conditioning investments to animal welfare standards has the potential to improve the welfare of millions of animals in Ukraine, ensuring EU citizens’ wishes to protect animals are respected. This will also send the right message to EU producers to accelerate the transition to sustainable methods of production.  

Prioritising animal welfare through the Facility will also ease Ukraine’s accession negotiations to the EU by stimulating a sustainable reconstruction of its agricultural system aiming at an alignment with the EU acquis. Ukraine is a big agricultural producer with a large share of it relating to animal products. Using the financial support of the Facility to help Ukraine transition towards more sustainable agricultural methods of production is the only way forward in order to advance Ukraine’s green recovery.

Hollywood’s A-List Animal Advocates Revealed. What ? – No Joaquin ?

 

WAV Comment – all very well deserved, but what about Joaquin  ? 

Joaquin Phoenix Pleads for Animal Rights in Academy Awards Speech – The New York Times (nytimes.com)

By Simran Jeet

Feb 29, 2024

In the world of Hollywood, where fame and fortune often take center stage, there exists a group of celebrities whose compassion extends beyond the red carpet to the animal kingdom.  These stars utilize their platform and resources to advocate for animal rights, promote adoption, and support various conservation efforts.  Here are five Hollywood animal lovers making a big difference.

Animal activism

Alicia Silverstone

Actor Alicia Silverstone, a committed vegan, earned recognition as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA’s Sexiest Female Vegetarian in 2004.Beyond championing various animal charities like the African Wildlife Foundation, Animal Asia, and PETA, she authored The Kind Diet advocating for plant-based nutrition.Known for her activism against animal testing, she also rescues abandoned pets and animals, providing them with loving homes.

Animal conservation

Betty White

Betty White, an original Hollywood animal activist, passionately supported numerous charities including Farm Sanctuary and the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Adopting rescue animals and advocating for their rights, she served on the Los Angeles Zoo board for 50 years. White’s dedication extended to funding zoos for monkeys and gorillas, leaving a lasting legacy in animal welfare and conservation efforts.

Anti-fur campaign

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish, a prominent figure among Gen Z, adopted a vegan lifestyle from childhood. She vocally opposes the use of animal products in both fashion and food industries.

EU / Chile: EU-Chile Trade Agreement Falls Short On Animal Welfare.

29 February 2024

Press Release

The modernised EU-Chile Free Trade Agreement, approved by the European Parliament today, includes commitments to animal welfare such as the recognition of animal sentience, the phase-out of antibiotics used as growth promoters, and language on animal welfare cooperation.

While these provisions are welcomed, the negative impacts of unconditional trade liberalisation should not be ignored: The EU and Chile should maximise the language on animal welfare cooperation within the agreement to ensure significant progress for the well-being of animals.

In 2002, when the EU and Chile concluded their first trade agreement, they added, for the first time ever, provisions on animal welfare cooperation. Yet, it was followed by increased intensification in the Chilean livestock and aquaculture sectors due to increased trade opportunities. There is a high risk that this modernised deal will fuel this trend as it grants further market access for Chilean animal products by increasing quotas for poultry, pork, sheep and beef without any animal welfare condition. Such a condition could have contributed to enhancing animal welfare standards in Chile, especially considering that Chilean producers believe that the trade deal would generate greater certainty for investments aimed at exports to the EU.

The FTA does include a chapter on sustainable food systems with provisions on animal welfare cooperation, despite being non-commital. Future EU-Chile cooperation on animal welfare, as like-minded partners, must focus on concrete initiatives such as the phase-out of cages for pigs and poultry, along with lower stocking densities for poultry. Other areas include animal transport, the use of anaesthesia for mutilations and joint action plans to phase out antibiotic use in animal production.

It is disappointing that the new EU approach to Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) chapters will not yet apply to this trade agreement. The review process of the TSD Chapter should contain detailed language on the link between animal welfare and sustainable development, wildlife conservation and trafficking, and the importance of ensuring aquaculture welfare. In terms of enforcement, the EU and Chile should create clear roadmaps, identify priority issues, and include last-resort sanctions.

In November 2021, Chilean President Gabriel Boric signed an Animalist Commitment with Veg Foundation during his campaign. The document includes 10 points to improve the lives of animals raised for consumption.

Unfortunately after two years of government, very little progress has been made in fulfilling this commitment, since only one of the 10 points has been worked on. We call on President Boric to keep his word and improve the lives of millions of animals in Chile, by implementing these points in both trade agreements and national law. This FTA could have bolstered national efforts similar to the impact of the first EU-Chile trade agreement, which led to the adoption of Chilean animal welfare law in 2009

Ignacia Uribe, Founder and CEO, Veg Foundation.

Until the EU has animal welfare-based import requirements, the EU should negotiate ambitious animal welfare conditions with all trading partners, and replicate the approach it followed in the EU-New Zealand trade agreement. The EU should not let its trade agenda freeze the path toward higher welfare food systems. Embracing animal welfare conditions in some FTAs while omitting them in others would certainly be incoherent,

Reineke Hameleers, CEO, Eurogroup for Animals.

Eurogroup for Animals and the Chilean-based organisation Veg Foundation regret that the modernisation of this trade agreement fails to guarantee that EU-Chile trade does not have a detrimental impact on animals, and encourage the effective transition towards sustainable food systems in which animals’ well-being is promoted and respected.
