Sending dogs to China
We have had more reports of people wanting to buy dogs to send to China as pets and showdogs - especially the collie, border collie, samoyed, Bernese mountain dogs, Newfoundland and St Bernard type breeds. Please do not take these inquiries as legitimate, even if they come from "sweet old Kiwi couples". Any dogs sold to these people (and I am ashamed to say some New Zealanders have abandoned any morality they may have had and joined forces with scumbag dealers in the pursuit of money offered) are destined for the dog skin, fur and meat markets.
By law the Chinese people may not own or import any dog over 12 inches high as a pet or for show. Larger dogs are usually smuggled over the borders in atrocious conditions piled high in cages on trucks and usually there are losses to heat and sickness with no water or food available.
If they make the trip alive they go straight to the dealers where they are either processed straight away or kept to breed from for a while before being processed.
If there are any breeders out there who have been pressured to sell their dogs for sending to China as "pets" please email me with as many details as you can remember: editor@k9magazinefree.com or inquire through the SPCA or the Kennel Club.

A Song For The Animals
I Am The Owner Of This Coat
by
Maria Daines & Paul Killington
* How would it feel to have no power to stop a very frightening and painful thing happening to you? How would it feel to cry and not be heard? How would it feel to be crammed into a box with say 30 other beings, and then go on a long journey with no food or water... How would it feel to reach the end of that journey and be thrown from the top of a truck? And how would it feel to then be beaten and skinned? And how would it feel if you were still alive...?
If you believe fur should be worn by animals and not by people... If you believe the fur trade is as dead as all the helpless animals caught up in it, then please sign the petition to give these poor creatures a voice and a chance to live.
Singers/songwriters/musicians/artists, we DO have a voice, and we can use it!!!
Please help to stop the fur trade.
Best Wishes,
Maria & Paul

Your letters must be polite. This is not an anti-Chinese
Campaign ... urge strongly, that this horrible cruel trade end immediately, but let us also encourage the Chinese government to offer these people alternative, cruelty free work.
The people you see doing this cruel act are not the ones making the big money out of this fur trade !
We don't want to send this dirty ' business ' underground ' because of sudden exposure.
For Them - We Thank You !
