Dear Sir or Madam,

Newspapers worldwide are reporting about the extreme torture of cats that 
are skinned and then boiled alive by butchers in Guandong. Thousands of 
cats are sold to the Guangdong restaurants, and most of these cats come 
from other provinces where cat nabbers have become infamous all over 
China, terrorizing cat owners who fear that their cats may be stolen to be 
sent to Guandong restaurants.  The shocking side of this story that's 
making human beings all over the world shiver with indignation is that 
cats are skinned and dismembered alive, and still alive when thrown into 
boiling water to finally finish a most hellish suffering with their last 
breath.

It is with profound distress that I am writing to you regarding this most 
Inhumane treatment of cats and ask you wholeheartedly that you put a stop 
to it immediately.  The West is horrified by so much vileness, and this 
will certainly not be a postcard that China would want for the world to 
see.  It is because of these practices of a minority that the important 
and rich Chinese culture and history have become so stained and repudiated 
by most countries which have adhered to humane laws to protect the most 
defenseless members of our planet:  the animals.  It will not be difficult 
for China to adjust to this new era since most Chinese people abhor these 
extreme cruelties. The minority in your society who delight themselves on 
this type of cruel bloodshed are a few and they will only destroy China's 
respectability around the world.  Surely, not all Cantonese are proud of 
the smell of blood tainting their culture and history.

Quoting General Secretary Hu Jintao on December 18, 2008 commemoration of 
the 30th anniversary of the reform:  "the spiritual poverty is not 
socialism," can be translated also for non-humans as these practices are 
certainly a great poverty of spirit and one that will bring shame to the 
Chinese civilization.  It is now a good oportunity to follow on his 
Excellency Hu Jintao's footsteps to a rich and spiritual socialism.

Respected Guangdong Provincial party committee, the provincial government, 
Guangzhou Municipal party committee, the municipal government leads:  
These acts have driven people around the world beyond their limits of 
forbearance. There is nothing that should justify such horror, let alone 
something as selfish as the culture of food based on the suffering of the 
innocent and the defenseless.

I appeal to your conscience and the compassion that you surely have in 
your hearts, to put an end to so much suffering inflicted upon the most 
defenseless members of your society:  the animals.   Please make it 
illegal for butchers to inflict so much pain and agony on the voiceless 
and defenselss animals.  Please investigate these atrocities, and  forbid 
any food and beverage that is based on cruelty, and capture and destroy 
the suppliers and sales of live animal companions for food, immediately.   
Modern laws and regulations must be instituted immediately to avoid this 
type of traffic and the extreme suffering involved with it.    No nation 
should have to be embarrassed of their own country because of a minority 
that can only bring shame and disgrace upon itself.  It would be to the 
great advantage of China to put an end to this horrific treatment of 
animals to show the world that it is also compassionate and civilized, and 
has the ability to be an effective part of the third Millennium.
