omg just read this, this is so sad and wrong, these sort of things need stopping now!! 
You can help us end bloodbaths like this and protect dogs in China from future culls
Please help stop the slaughter.
Dear Everyone,
A massive cull in the Chinese city of Hanzhong has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 dogs - and now we need your help to make sure that it never happens again.
The local government ordered the mass slaughter of all dogs as the result of a few cases of rabies deaths. Dog killing squads are stalking the streets, mercilessly beating dogs to death with sticks and rocks.
Friendly dogs - even healthy family pets - are being slaughtered right in front of their owners. Can you even begin to imagine how you'd feel if that happened to your dog?
IFAW has pleaded with government officials to stop the killing - and now we turn to you.
Please help us stop these cruel and massive slaughters once and for all.
Horrifying scenes of cruelty
Some of the pictures from culls like these are so horrifying that I can't even show them to you. And I hate having to describe this, but I think you need to know the truth about what's happening.
In one series of pictures, several small and fluffy white dogs - you can just tell they're used to snuggling on the laps of their loving owners - are trapped in a makeshift cage. One by one, the dogs are pulled out with a pair of long metal tongs, and brutally beaten with a stick. And then - even though it appears that some of the dogs may still be alive - they're tossed into a pit to be burned.
I can't even imagine the pain and terror these poor dogs endure when the fire is set.
So many dogs will suffer slow and painful deaths...we must stop this cruelty now!
What we're doing and how you can help
We have received so many messages in the past few days from animal lovers like you inside and outside China - pleading with us to step in and stop the slaughters like the one in Hanzhong City.
I assure you, IFAW is working to end these culls:
We've already contacted local authorities in Hanzhong City to urge them to end the slaughter. Now you can help by contacting the Chinese Ambassador in your country. IFAW is creating an emergency rabies vaccination fund so that we can offer rural communities in China an alternative to mass slaughters like the one in Hanzhong. Please give generously to our emergency rabies vaccination fund.
We're working with the central government to pass animal welfare legislation in China that will ensure the humane treatment of all animals. IFAW has already helped major cities like Beijing establish dog regulations that mandate humane vaccination and population control.
We CAN stop culls like this
We recently joined with concerned animal lovers in China to stop a similar mass slaughter in the city of Heihe by pointing out that the killing of dogs that have rightful owners is a violation of the basic rights of a citizen - owned dogs and cats are considered the "personal property" of Chinese citizens, and should be protected under China's Constitution.
Plus, it has been proven that rabies can be effectively controlled by a well-managed vaccination program. In fact, a humane vaccination and neuter program in Chennai, India, has dramatically reduced rabies cases there by over 95%.
So we must act now to stop the killing! Please click here to contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country to call for an end to mass slaughters like this and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals.
And then please donate what you can today to help us set up an emergency vaccination fund to help cities in China establish rabies prevention programs, help eliminate these mass dog culls once and for all, and to continue our mission to protect animals around the world from cruelty.
The slaughtered dogs of Hanzhong City deserved a better fate. Please help us ensure that dogs in other communities in China are protected from similar mass killings.
Thank you so much for your help,
Fred O'Regan
IFAW CEO
p.s. I have to tell you, the images of this dog slaughter keep me up at night. If you've ever enjoyed the companionship of a dog, then you know that they truly are members of our families. Please help us protect family pets by donating to our vaccination fund and our anti-cruelty campaigns around the world.
Please forward this e-mail to your friends, family, and colleagues who care about animals as much as you do.

It's not going to happen to your dog, unless you're daft enough to live in China so there's no point getting upset. These things happen, plus a hell of a lot worse i.e. cruelty to humans - it's not worth the stress you cause yourself by thinking about it too much when you're not going to be able to change it.

What is the point of the email, to notify you of what is going on? no petition or mass email will ever stop anything like this, rather pointless. It's like the shit you read on facebook and gay spam emails I get every day.

I remember reading on the internet, and there was a video, that so many dogs are skinned alive for their fur to be used in cloths etc. They were skinned alive becuase the skin comes off easier or something, but what Im trying to say is that there is no end to things like this, this is not the worst ive heard

Hmmmmmmmmm
Get China to stop producing the worlds largest amount of carbon n crap in the skies....
Or
Geta few dogs saved......
30,000 dogs, or billions on humans....
If we can't get them to change the earlier, they will not listen to the latter.
I very much doubt the "club"£ starter really knows what they are getting into, they will loose  Even if i fully agree with the saving of animals, they are taking on China. They WILL loose.
