Outlaw the horrific dog and cat meat and fur trade within China
Version for Chinese readers: 中国非法，残忍的猫狗肉和皮草贸易。
东方与西方人民联合起来呼吁中国政府取缔残忍的猫狗肉以及皮草交易。国际媒体和中国动物保护组织已经曝光了在这些交易当中，动物遭到了难以言表的残忍对待。
--猫狗在运输途中被挤压在狭窄肮脏的板条箱里；它们经受着难以想象的恐惧与压力；没有水和食物，很多因此可怕地死去了。
--狗狗经常被孽待,毒打致死；这是由于人们迷信一个古老的习惯，就是经受巨大痛苦的动物的肉有营养（尽管这就根本没有科学的依据）。
--在猫狗肉交易和皮草交易中，狗和猫都会在活着并且意识清醒的情况下被开水烫，活煮，扒皮，这是今天世界上为人所知的最糟糕的孽待动物行为。
--很多猫狗肉和皮草交易的受害动物都是被偷来的宠物。（从最近发生的武汉救猫事件的照片可以看出，很多猫都是带着项圈的）
--狗贩使用极其残忍的手法偷盗狗，用有毒氢化钠针头毒杀狗，而这些来路不明的狗肉流向人们的餐桌,严重威胁并且损害了人们的健康，甚至导致死亡。其行径本省也严重的违反了食品安全法律.据报道，一些狗的主人因为保护其狗狗而被盗狗者用毒针扎死。有一些盗狗者还被自己的毒针刺中而死亡。这些都触碰了社会道德底线，损害社会安全。
国际社会和中国人民都对这种可耻孽待动物的行径感到震惊与愤怒，在西方，这些动物都是被尊重的生活伴侣，是帮助人类和支持人类的精神寄托。我们强烈请求中国政府消除这一影响其国际声誉的污点.

Version for anglophone readers:
People of the East and West unite to call on the Chinese government to end the horrific dog and cat meat and fur trade within China. International media exposure and Chinese animal protection groups (such as TACN) have revealed the horrifying treatment of animals involved in this trade:
-- dogs and cats are transported to slaughterhouses in filthy, cramped crates; they are very stressed and frightened; they receive no food or water; many die a horrible death as a result.
-- dogs are routinely tortured and beaten to death; this is due to a medieval-style superstition that the meat will have enhanced properties as a result of the animal's pain (although there is absolutely no scientific foundation).
-- both dogs and cats are scalded, boiled and skinned alive in the cat and dog meat and fur trade. This constitutes some of the worst systematic animal cruelty known in the world today.
-- many of the victims of the dog and cat meat and fur trade are stolen pets! (photos of the recent cat rescue in Wuhan show many cats still wearing their collars!)
The international community, and the people of China are shocked and outraged by the disgraceful treatment of animals which, in the West, are respected and valued as companions and sources of help and support to man. We call on the Chinese government to remove this terrible stain on the international reputation of China.
This petition will be circulated on Weibo ('Chinese Twitter'). It will be gathered together with other, like-minded petitions, and these will be sent to Chinese embassies and leading newspapers.
