      China must create laws against animal cruelty. China is about the only nation on earth that allows dogs and cats to beaten to death, boiled, skinned alive and horrifically treated in the most unspeakable ways. Good people in China will not tolerate this. The world is watching and hoping that China will do what is right.

    Please do all you can to establish laws against animal cruelty. There is not one day that goes by that I am not horrified by the highest level of animal cruelty taking place in China against animals, especially dogs and cats. The world is watching and the world is disgusted and hates what is happening to the animals. Only laws against these hideous acts will stop the violence against animals and humans.
