“The Chinese government is against any form of animal cruelty and mistreatment, fully appreciates common feeling of caring for animals shared by mankind, and is endeavoring to strengthen animal protection in China. While improvements have been made already and are continuing to be made in this area, we sincerely hope, through dialogue rather than confrontation, to strengthen mutual understanding with friends and well-intentioned NGOs in the course of eliminating animal cruelty and mistreatment”. Says the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland That is a quote from 2003

Don’t watch this if you are easily upset.

I have just sent this email.

Dear Sir
I am appalled by the cruelty towards animals shown on Sky News this morning.

I will not be buying anything manufactured in your country until this outrageous behaviour is stopped. Scenes like this are completely unacceptable in this day and age.

Yours sincerely
