‘Animals Asia’ – Latest 3/12/25.

It has been a while since I last did an update on Animals Asia. This is not at all intentional but I try to restrict posts to a max of 3 per day. As you can see, there are a lot of different issues to cover. So now it is time to draw attention to Jill – pictured below, and the superb crew at AA, with the latest news. Regards Mark.

China – Lady Freethinker Investigates – Terrible Suffering On FUR Farms,

You do not have to be a genius to get the message through that China is No.1 in the world when it comes to lacking any legislation for the protection / welfare of animals – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_and_rights_in_China It may consider itself a civilised nation, but by hauling this reputation along, the reality is that it is anything but civilised.

There are currently NO NATIONWIDE LAWS IN CHINA THAT EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT THE MISTREATMENT OF ANIMALS.

China – BBC Now Working Re Chinese Cat Torture Investigations.

As many of you will know, at WAV we have been covering for many months the underground world of sadistic cat torturers / abusers. See the following for more information and our links with Feline Guardians.

Well now we have some positive news to share. The issue has been taken up by the BBC and here is the link to the article which was published yesterday, 4tg August 2025.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp9w5kyw7o

This is for information only, but now this issue has the backing of the BBC, we greatly hope that things will move forward at pace.

The Chinese authorities have made it virtually impossible for us to provide data in both London and Berlin; but in the following you will see links to booth UK and German petitions about this. We decided to keep the petitions open with the hope the petition wording will inform everyone about these abuses.

Thank You.
