At the end of this blog is a photo that will distress you. It is horrific. When I unsuspectingly opened it up on an email i received from Ms Wu, I gasped. The entire email was written in Chinese , so I could only guess at the contents. Unfortunately, I was right.
Ms Wu, pictured above at an animal rights demonstration in Taiwan, sends me regular posts on her concerns for animals in that country. And the world, for she knows, as we do, that animals are tormented, abused, abandoned and killed everywhere. But Taiwan has special horror stories, and in the 90'2 was declared by the World Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as the worst place to be a dog.
Things may have improved somewhat, but only through the passionate kindness of Ms Wu - and others like her- whose life is dedicated to making a difference. Not just for the dogs she personally saves and cares for, but on a broader level, through education. They are finalising an 8 minute animated film, which they hope to distribute as widely as possible. Making such films is expensive, but essential, and she welcomes any ideas or financial help.
She tells me that in Taiwan, mixed breeds and strays are not rescued and adopted. And in the public animal pound, where they may end up, there are cases where dogs eat each other for food. She wants to tell the horrors stories, and educate about spay and neutering, to make a difference with her life.
The demonstration, in honour of the unnamed dog at the end of this post, was a success. The government gave assurances it will promote the revised animal protection law, and establish an animal police squad.
Ms Wu says this is only a beginning. They have to make sure the promises are fulfilled, and the animal rights groups will continue to condemn the violence, make the public aware and bring the government under pressure.
Her voice is ours - all of ours - who weep to think of the pain inflicted, and the senseless killing that happens - every day - in her country and in ours. Tara's Babies is honoured to support Ms Wu and the work she does, because it is compassion without bounds. And that is what we aspire to be.
This dog was skinned alive and left to die in the market place.

The point isn't to skin anyone. And we don't have to look any futher than our own country to see one of these "savage countries."
skin them alive spreading salts on them
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF EDUCATION IN PLACE AT A VERY EARLY AGE. COMPASSION AND BIO EMPATHY SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THEIR LIST OF PRIORITIES..IF NOT, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HORRIFY US AND THE ANIMALS ARE THE ONES THAT WILL ENDURE TFRUE SUFFERING...PLEASE SUPPORT AND REVERE THE WORK OF THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE...NAMASTE
just awful
