Beijing Olympics 2008: FOUR PAWS campaign
During the Beijing Olympics, a FOUR PAWS campaign informed the public about serious animal welfare problems in China.
The following issues exacerbate the animal welfare problems in China:
- China still has no animal welfare law that could prevent the worst excesses of cruelty in animal production.
- European companies export factory farming to China as labour is cheap here.
- The income per person in China increases, many Chinese copy the Western lifestyle and consume more and more animal products.
More than 30.000 people supported our campaign with their online protest, saying NO to animal cruelty.
FOUR PAWS will use these signatures in negotiations with companies; they show that consumers prefer animal-friendly products.
Thank you for your support!
