The new preferred transportation method for more and more Chinese people seems to be dog-drawn carriages. As the above photo perfectly illustrates, a helpless dog is tied up to the carriage as the owner whips the animal repeatedly, urging it to move quicker, as several passers-by are petrified in the background. The owner seems to be enjoying his new ‘ride’ very much and does not care at all about the welfare of his pet.
This inhumane transportation method seems to have been introduced in the rural areas of the Shandong province, but has quickly spread in cities all over China.
In some cases, the owners would whip the dogs several times in an attempt to make them faster. This is, without question, cruel and unacceptable.
Dogs should not be forced to pull people around under any circumstances. This is not their purpose on this Planet! It’s totally unnatural for them to do such things!
We, the undersigned, hereby urge authorities to ban these carriages drawn by dogs and implement animal protection laws to put an end to all the mistreatment and blatant neglect of animals in China. These voiceless souls should have just as much rights as we humans do.
Help stop the cruelty towards animals in China and sign the
petition.
