奥委会对中国打狗的回信!转贴
原文如下: Dear Supporter: Thank you for your email regarding the Chinese dog culls in the lead up top the Olympics. WSPA are aware of this situation. Please see the below press release which outlines WSPA’s position: Elly Hiby, Companion Animals Director for the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), said: “The indiscriminate culling of dogs is an ineffective method of rabies control and the World Heath Organisation (WHO) clearly states that best practice control should be based on the mass vaccination of dogs. As such, this knee-jerk reaction would not only do nothing to address the spread of the disease but would potentially impede future ***ernment-run vaccination programmes by damaging public trust in the authorities – would you register your dog as vaccinated with the same authority that is known to carry out indiscriminate and inhumane culling?” She added: ‘‘WSPA is calling on the Chinese Government to intervene and stop this second misguided cull in Jining City, Shandon Province, and instead follow WHO guidelines. Other cities in China have shown themselves to be progressive by abandoning ‘catch-and-kill’ methods and reducing registration fees to promote responsible pet ownership and vaccination, for example Beijing.‘‘ WSPA currently supports several projects, including ones in Sierra Leone, Zanzibar, India and Sri Lanka, that combine mass vaccination with dog population control as a humane and effective way of controlling rabies and stray dog numbers. WSPA is a UN-recognised charity, which operates through its 690 plus Member Societies in 140 countries worldwide. I hope you have found this helpful. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact Kathryn Chris or myself at wspa@wspa.org.uk and we will be happy to help in any way we can. Best Wishes. Kerry Hudson (Supporter Services Officer)
亲爱的支持者:感谢您的电子邮件,您在邮件中提到的中国为了筹备最好的奥运会而屠杀家犬的情况,世界保护动物组织已经收悉。请您参照以下的说明来了解世界保护动物组织的立场:世界保护动物组织伴侣动物署署长Elly Hiby博士认为: “不加区别的屠杀家犬对于控制狂犬病是一种毫无作用的手段,世界卫生组织明确的阐述了控制狂犬病的方法是给家犬注射疫苗。这种不加思索的行为(指屠杀家犬)不光对抑制狂犬病的传播没有丝毫作用,而且会对**实施狂犬病防治计划产生潜在的负面作用,因为**的权威会因为失去公众的信任而大打折扣。可以想象,以后即便家犬得了狂犬病人们也不会向**去报告,因为人们怎么会相信一个不加区别的、毫无人性的滥杀家犬的权威组织呢?” 她还指出,“世界保护动物组织已经要求中国**干预并停止类似于发生在山东省济宁市的错误的屠杀家犬行为再次发生,并遵照世界卫生组织的建议实施狂犬病防治计划。中国的其他城市已经进行了改进,如北京,已经逐步放弃了‘捕杀’计划,取而代之的是减少注册费(狗证费)来促进养犬者对于宠物和狂犬病的责任意识。” 世界保护动物组织最近资助了塞拉利昂、桑吉巴、印度、斯里兰卡等国的一些项目,这些项目包括给狗注射狂犬病疫苗并且出于人道的控制狗的数量,事实证明这是对于控制流浪狗数量和狂犬病传播的有效方法。世界动物保护组织是联合国公认的慈善团体,它在世界上140多个国家拥有690多家分支机构。我希望这些能够对你有所帮助,如果您希望获取进一步的信息,请您不要客气,联系Kathryn Chris或者我(wspa@wspa.org.uk),我们将非常乐意竭尽所能为您提供帮助。祝您好运!
