Dogs in Taiwan Left to Drown or Starve to Death

Although PETA Asia-Pacific has documented poor protection from the elements and a gross lack of veterinary care—including for dogs immobilized because of illness and left to die amid their own waste—the situation has gone from bad to worse. As a typhoon swept through the area, workers released 30 dogs (perhaps to avoid having to dispose of their bodies afterward) rather than simply moving them to higher ground for protection. The "shelter" sits in a flood plain where there is nothing for the dogs to eat and no way for them to escape their pens and avoid drowning.
Please help us make a difference in Taiwan by sending an e-mail urging ShanChong city officials to shape up and take their responsibility to care for these animals seriously.

Please take care of God's creatures who cannot care for themselves. They also feel pain and lonliness. Please do the right thing. God bless you.

Hey China, if you want to be a super power, get some compassion for animals and clean up your fur trade industry

How cruel can a person be?

I worked for Nortel in Taipei for a few months and discovered that there are hundreds of thousands of stray dogs (some small mixed breed predominates)on the loose in that city alone.
PETA, i support and endorse 99% of your petitions, but these people are trying, and what is required is federal help and some kind of grant(like from your affiliates) to solve a tragic national problem.

Just horrible - the human being seems to be the devil of this planet!

This doesn't shock me. They have half the worlds population in their country. I would assume they only care about themselves if even that.

why cant people rescue these animals and bring them to the US to get medical treatments then go up for adoption? cant we save these poor animals? they dont deserve this :(

If what Joe Levesque says is true then maybe Peta should investigate this and and donate some money and volunteers so that they can see how to properly take care of these animals and what to do in case of natural disasters. This is indeed extremely sad and we should all try to do something to prevent this in the future because no innnocent animal should ever have to suffer

I wish I was surprised. In fact, it's exactly what I expected to see. How dare any country in need ever ask for assistance when they have the power to assist their own powerless and they do nothing.
Funny how one of the oldest civilizations on the planet can be so uncivilized!

This is absolutely disgusting--the evil that men do! This world is soon to end...and I thank God for that.

Please let outsiders in to help care for these animals in this overwhelming time for you. I'm sorry for what has happened, but that is no excure to force these poor animals to endure this horriffic fate. Please open your heart. T

these animals deserve better than to be abandoned like that, the world now knows how badly the animals in china are treated,starved, brutely beaten and skined alive for their fur,to let them loose in the streets,to be abused even more is inexcusible. I dont understand how human beings can be so crule,I pray the small dedicated group of asian-pacific, can achieve there goal of raising funds to help these animals, they are an inspiration to us all, I for one will not be watching the olympics, but will be making a donation very soon,

My email came back 'undeliverable'.

Peta can and should help these poor animals. Obviously if it has gone from bad to worse for this shelter someone needs to step-up to the plate at Peta and help them. We cannot depend on the government officials to do something because they too are obviously looking the other way.

These pictures make me really cry because these innocent animals didn't ask to be born.
They would give up their own lives for their owners and never think about it how come they don't the same for them.
This is just not fair but that is the way they feel about their own humans there so what can you expect when it comes to animals. If I had the money or the where with all I would get on plane and take all of those animals and bring back to the United States but we have so many here that not treated well either. But the more presure brought to bear on them the more they do the opposite that is sad to say but it is so true. I wish with all of heart that they would listen.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF HIS CREATURES LARGE OR SMALL NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!

How can you expect people to respect animals if they do not respect their own race.
People can help themselves, animals need our help, so please, help these creatures.

Lynda, my email came back also.
There is no excuse for these conditions what so ever. The government needs to help out.
And when the Typhoon hit, there are ways to take care of the animals instead of turning them loose. We have a vacation home in Grand Cayman, so a few years ago I wanted to learn everything about the people that I could. I went to their Humane Society to learn about what they do with the animals when a hurricane is on the way. Many families on the island belong to the H.S. and many people refuse to leave their homes during the storm, these people sign up to take anywhere from 1 to 3 animals and care for them in their homes during the storm. It works great. After the storm the animals are returned and many of these folks end up adopting the animals they cared for. I think this is just a fantastic idea and it works out just great. I wish all the countries could follow their lead. Its a great idea.
And it works. This is just awful. Something truly needs to be done to stop this and people need to start respecting animal life. This is just pathetic! Anyone that can turn their back on this has no soul.
Peace for all animals!
Most of my heroes wear masks!

Please help these poor animals suffering in Taiwanese government owned animal shelters. Can't say all, but a lot of these people who worked in the shelters treat animals like garbages..... The only thing Taiwanese government afraid of is global attention. So please, use the link the send emails and let Taiwanese government know you care and have them take action on improving those shelters.... Thank you.

this is discusting!
WHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE THINKING?!
Posted by: sarah | August 1, 2008 10:24 PM
Things that happen to animals in Taiwan are beyond most of the public's comprehension. They shock the soul,and any animal loving person to tears.
I reall hope those global attention can really wake up Taiwan's goverment!

There is a dog's picture from above , The dog just left to die in Taiwan's shelter.
That is really an outrange!
I just hope, Taiwan's goverment can do something to change it!

Perhaps you all should boycott everything made in China. Where all life,even human is cheap. That's what happens when there is too many of anything,it becomes a surplus and is no longer considered valuable.
