Urgent Help!!! 2009 November 23, nearly one thousand kitties will soon face the misfortune of being slaughtered

Just on Xiangyang Road in Nankai District of Tianjin City, just past the old business school, there is a place that will make people furious: Shui Yun Jian KTV. There, are nearly one thousand kitties waiting to be slaughtered. Currently, there are several cat friends [friends of cats?] going to save the cats, who waited until around 9pm to call 110 [the number for police]. The “pol.ice” have already arrived, but their attitude is a little biased towards the opposing party [the cat traders/traffickers]. If any schoolmates know of any friends in the media, can you mobilize the reporting? Inside are a total of 36 metal cages, stacked on one another, all stuffed full of cats, the conditions too appalling. Schoolmates who have recently lost a cat, maybe your precious is here in one of the cages…

From CCTV:

Concerned netizens take action, eight hundred kitties rescued

On the 23rd, a netizen on “Mao Mi You Yue BBS” posted an urgent help needed post: Over 800 kitties are caged in a compound at Tianjin Nankai district, facing the misfortune of being slaughtered and sold by cat traffickers. Several tens of netizens and cat-lovers immediately reached the location, launching a cat rescue operation.

As a result of unsuccessful negotiations with the cat traffickers, the compound’s gates were locked. 40 “cat friends” disregarded the cold and remained outside the compound overnight. The next day, another 70 plus Beijing cat friends rushed to and arrived at Tianjin. After the cat friends anxiously waited a day, the cat traffickers still had not reappeared.  After coordinating, yesterday night, finally with the help of police, the caged kitties were transported by specially arranged vehicles to temporary accommodations in an unused school classroom, with 30 volunteers responsible for taking care of them. Tianjin City’s Animal Health Supervision Authority also sent relevant personnel, to conduct disinfect/sterilize the classroom serving as temporary accomodations for the kitties and the transport vehicles.

As a result of not having any food or water for several days, over half of the kitties’s health are extremely weak, and several kitties have already died.

After the kitties had adjusted and recovered, the volunteers will begin accepting registrations for adoption.

Comments on Mop:

转身〃已结束:

HOHO an inspiring rescue.

黑山妖妖:

Ding this up, we cannot let the little kitties suffer.
I am not in Tianjin, otherwise I would definitely adopt.

saspurs2120:

People don’t have enough to eat yet have nothing to better to do than to care about cats? However, people who eat cats are too disgusting.

盖子泡泡:

All animals are life. Pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, chickens, which isn’t a life? Why aren’t there people who sympathize with them? Were these animals born simply to be oppressed by man? But cats are dignified/noble? No! We are the ones who are wrong. Without people who eat them there would not be people trafficking them, so everyone think about their own problems, do more good deeds, do less harm.

o迷魂记o:

Those who kill cats aren’t human! They’re beasts!!!
Poor kitties!!!
Ding ding!
Hope even more good-hearted people, people who love cats, will help the kitties get through this difficult time!!!

一天不猫扑浑身不舒坦:

Animal protection organizations, China has one now???

Fighting for the rights of pigs, cows, sheep, cats, and dogs???

Waiting and observing…

狂歌踏月去:

Ding this post! Save the cats!
I’ve suddenly discovered that this post is from a few days ago, fuck, why is it only getting hot now, it’s already a cup!

射你一脸妇炎洁:

I am really thankful the person who spoke out first, because the first person is very important.

If the first person said:

In this day and age, people cannot survive, and we still worry about cats? Why do you not go protect those pigs, cows, sheep?

And then criticize cat-lovers of being hypocrites. Then following with be a lot of people in agreement.

Following the crowd is normal behavior, but if in the face of ugliness and evil you still follow the crowd,

then that is known as not having a conscience.

Moreover, in China, there are too many people without a conscience.

Even without a conscience, they still audaciously put forth some excuses and justifications.

Helpless, this society has forced people to all become beasts.

You need to post another thread telling all the people raising pigs to release all the pigs! This way none of us will eat meat anymore! Fuck, so cats are not beasts? Humans cannot eat their meat? Lou zhu, time to mend your brain!

      Let me reply with something after I gave it a thought again…. I feel this way, because I’ve had no connection with animals such as cows, chickens, pigs, or any other “farm” animal.

      On the other hand, I’ve always had a pet dog or cat around the house.

      I know they are animals…. but…. who are we to judge them….. we are they god’s now eh?

      Anyway… we must eat…. this is a very controversial topic…. and I’d rather not dive in and swim around….

      But I will say one thing.

      To keep them in cages…. that’s the real wrong being done here.

      I think… cows aren’t as bad as they have open pastures and can seemingly be free on an open field.

      So, after giving it some thought, the only bad thing I have about using cats for food is that it’s hard to contain them in a way that would keep them happy.

          There are few if any feed lots in China, that’s a very western/industrial farm thing. The few cows in China raised for food are actually living in fields, not factory farms. Also, most imported beef in China is from New Zealand, Australia, or Argentina and I’m fairly certain none of those places are famous for the heinous factory farms that Americans are so fond of.

However, I’ve been to numerous cattle operations in China, and have plenty of first hand experience with the agriculture industry in China. The point was since we were discussing China I thought BB was way off for assuming every country and every place has the same kind of large scale industrial agriculture that the US does. In my experience, most places in the world do not.

    This method of trafficking is obviously cruel, and the police should take notice, but pet owners don’t seem to be doing enough to stop it. In my home country, cats and dogs on the street are rounded up and put into a humane shelter if they don’t have a collar with identification. If they are lucky, they will be adopted in a week. If not, they are killed by injection. Nobody eats them, but if people wanted to, I wouldn’t object. If you let your cat run around, sterilize it so it doesn’t reproduce and fight with other cats, and there will be less of a market for such barbarism.

    There is something fundamentally wrong with eating predatory animals in my opinion. They also give us many diseases that we can’t get from herbivores. Many of the internal organs from predators like cats have toxins in them and proteins that we cannot digest. Proteins that store in our tissue and can cause lifethreatening illnesses.

    Apart from that I think it is despicable to store any kind of animals in cages like that.

    Cats also have personality,, something I bet you don’t see often in chickens.

    Don’t judge too harshly. We are still talking about a people who can’t queue, don’t care about strangers at all, happily stop to watch people in mortal danger or pain without helping and who consider the padded bra as a piece of national clothing. How can we expect them to care about animals?

      You know, for about three paragraphs, your comment actually seemed like a solid, decent opinion. Then you had to indulge in being the contemptuous foreigner, which, I suppose, is par for the course with regards to your comments on chinaSMACK.

      I’m sorry the Chinese, as “a people”, do not live up to your expectations, that those who lack the upbringing to abide by social courtesies you take for granted back home represent in your mind the Chinese “people” instead of those who do line up, admonish others who don’t, and propose, institute, and support initiatives to instill the same social courtesies to others.

      I’m sorry those Chinese who don’t care about strangers overshadow those that do, that you haven’t had the good fortune of witnessing some Chinese people extending concern for their fellow people. I’m sorry you can’t, for the life of you, even imagine a Chinese person caring about a stranger.

      I’m sorry you think the Chinese, as “a people”, genuinely are “happy” to stop and watch people in mortal danger or pain, instead of being prone to the same morbid curiosity that afflicts pretty much every nationality on this planet. I’m sorry you’re so quick to forget just how often peope in general fail to help those in need, but single out the Chinese, as “a people”, for it.

      I’m sorry this website allows you to selectively compound your contempt towards the Chinese, as “a people”, because you find it easy to disregard all of the good stories and, again for the life of you, cannot even imagine the Chinese, as “a people”, caring…

      …even when it is right in front of you.

      But I suppose we all see only what we want to see, right?

      Yet to me, I think “we” CAN expect them to care about animals because “they” CAN, as “a people”. Perhaps it will take some time and perhaps it will never be perfect or be all of them, or maybe just never enough to “you”, but “they” CAN and so “we” CAN.

      I spent over an hour at the gym today watching a satellite TV broadcast of an American bull-riding competition. It’s not eating cat meat, but I saw an entire stadium full of people enjoying what amounts to pissing off and hurting an animal for sport, for little more than points of machismo. And yet, I don’t “judge too harshly” that Americans, as “a people”, can’t be expected to care about animals.

      I’ve lived in many places and amongst many people and everywhere I’ve seen people who cannot queue, who don’t care about strangers, and who stop and watch people in mortal danger or pain without helping. One of the best things I’ve learned in life, to make me a happier person, is to not judge “a people” for the failures of its members.

      As for the padded bra bit, you’re just an asshole. I hope you’re happy with the 3 inches that pithy joke added to your penis. Now please, be an educated man instead of simply a dick.

However, I do read many of the comments here and he has a history of posting comments of this nature, hence why I said “par for the course.”

          The reason I feel Guobao’s comments were aimed at the Chinese people (not necessarily a “race”) should be abundantly apparent in his last paragraph and in context.

Do I believe the comments made by Guobao could be perceived as aimed at chinese people. Yes, if you want it to be. No, if you consider the source! His comment of people watching others suffer and doing nothing doesn’t just mean one race. Consider that the Japanese have the reputation of being the most sadistic society of my generation.

            I don’t need to quote the rest of it. This clearly means the Chinese people, since he’s posting it as a reply to a topic that’s also about the Chinese people; if he meant to talk about other people, he would have said something like “We can compare them to other people…” or “Just like other people in the world”; but the fact that he said “We are STILL talking about…” means he was definitely talking about Chinese people. I’m not trying to insult you man, I’m just really confused how you can not understand this.

        Kai,
        You probably should just realize that China has been a mostly agriculturally based civilization for most of the millennia of her existence. In case you had ever observed the attitude of peasants toward livestock you would have realized that it is not extremely friendly or emotional, nowhere in the world. That is the key towards explanation of the sometimes indeed disgusting attitude of some Chinese toward animals.

        What I can hardly understand, however, is the self-righteousness of comments like yours. I know some of our world, and haven’t found a people or a country without flaws. But I found honest and amiable people in most if not all places I ever visited or lived. So I ask myself to which good or ends you made your comments. Need to accuse somebody or feel superior to?

        but in the west they are degenerated and became pussies (litterally) because of catfood, which has an higher quality than food for humans and lots of ‘love’ and ‘care’ by PETA and obese, depression-ridden, leftist ‘68-generation women.

          Oh, you are that fenqing-disguised rightwing extremist living in Germany, having been so degenerate that you spent four years of your useless life in the German Bundeswehr – can’t stop to giggle: few native Germans are that stupid. Yet, in nowadays’ China there is nobody starving. Maybe, in some remote areas people with very low income may suffer lack of protein and need to rely on eating cats, dogs, or rats. I still doubt that that is the case.

          As far as people breed cats or dogs in a sustainable environment in order to kill and eat them, I would not object that too much – I ate 狗肉汤 in my favourite restaurant in 前门 quarter in Beijing and enjoyed it (actually, I don’t like dogs very much – yet I hope they have been tended accurately until meeting their destiny).

          In the process of civilization animals to a rising amount are being held as pets, part of the household serving entertainment and emotional requirements. Records of animal companians being valued highly are abundant in history, btw. in Chinese history as well as in history of other civilized nations. Clearly peasants tend to value animals as means rather than personalities – even the mounted soldier has a different view, much more the urban dweller with an animal companian, be it a cat, a dog, or a bird.

          But I think the road towards civilization will be a long way to go for you, and four years of German Army won’t have shortened it. Good luck for your future enlightenment.

Now we have this delicious Nobleman as supreme commander. Hail.

            And Sun Wukong is an awesome example! Without him brutally killing all the deamons and beasts who’re threatening that faggot Monks sorry ass, the Tang Dynasty wouldnt be able to import that Indian Opium called Buddhism into China, to stone their morally degenerated plebs with.

            So, a fricking monkey did the necessary cruelty on behalf of all the baaawwning moralfags out there, who are wishing for a perfect world, but dont want to get their hands dirty.

            different aspect, kid: Introduction of Buddhism to China wasn’t all that bad. Orthodox 儒学 subdued ordinary people to bureaucracy as the only way to channel to heaven. Buddhism gave them the opportunity to plead to the metaphysical sphere by themselves. Thus a competition arose between bureaucracy and clerus diverting devoutness – and funds – from the state to the monasteries (one as greedy as the other) giving ordinary people at least bit of free space and choice. Even under that aspect the monkey rebel did some good to the people.

            cool story bro. really.

            I never considered the Opium for the masses, called Buddhism (or religion in general), as a bad thing per-se.
            From the Machiavellian point of view, something like a religion and/or an religion-based ascension-ideology to support the meritocratican system, is always a good thing. Humans need something they can believe in, no matter how retarded it is. If not, the society will be devoured by corruption, degeneration and decadence – like China today.
            The thing is just, it will only remain an Opiate, a drug, to anesthetize the true nature of people. So leaders and emperors should always use it as means to achieve social stability, not become addicted junkies themselves.

            Maybe that’s why the Emperors decided to import this Opium in the first place. The Old drugs of Confucianism and Taoism just lost their effect on the people or the Emperors just got addicted themselves.

Are vegetarians criminals against defenseless plants and salads, not being ashamed to eat them alive?

        If anyone deem such cruelty act as normal and perfectly justified in the name of gourment then I have nothing else to say.
        Have you heard or even seen hot water pour on live dogs and cats, and then beaten in the believe that this will make the meat tender and juicy?

            I agree with stargaterich, I think all animals can be eaten but it is how they are treated that is important. where possible the animals should be killed as quickly and humanely as possible and all parts of the animal (where possible) used.

            Many local delicacies are prepared in pretty inhumane ways such as goose for foie gras, but like wise the way other animals such as sharks are killed just for their fins is also terrible. I can understand catching a shark and eating the whole thing, but cutting off the fins and throwing the rest of the shark back into the water to drown is pretty sad.

I’m not talking about cats and dogs only, I’m also referring to the farmer who feels sadness in slaughtering his buffalo because it has toiled with him for many years in the field.

There was recently a Southpark episode that demonstrated this very well — it was about dolphins/whales and Japanese, how ‘the world’ freaks out that Japanese eat whale and dolphin and their products, called “Whale Whores”, then they ‘convinced’ the Japs that they should eat pigs and cows not dolphins as if it’s so much better and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I’ve tried many harmless tactics to remove those undesireable traits but to no avail. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not her fault, rather it stems from inbreeding. My spouse hates this cat and has given up hope that the cat will ever accept us as it’s family.
