Unhappy Please sign my downing street petition!

Sorry to trouble you. As you know the situation regarding animal welfare in China is diabolical. I wonder if you could give your support to a petition I have currently on the Downing street site? Its about animal cruelty in China to try to pressure our Govt to do something about it.Its doing quite well, but is only up till Xmas. We need numbers. There is evidence that the Chinese Govt are beggining to respond to pressure but this is a major task and we need to keep the pressure up, maybe for some time. If you could support it by signing yourself and perhaps forwarding it to people that would be extremely helpful
The site is at
Petition to: make serious representations to the Government of the Peoples Republic of China to introduce stringent animal welfare regulations to reduce widespread cruelty to animals. There should be an immediate ban on all imported fur. | Number10.g
There is a facebook group to support this at
URGENT! 200 sigs needed for Downing street pet re animal cruelty in China! | Facebook
Any help to encourage signatures greatly appreciated

They kill their own children and have the worlds highest rate of execution, what hope do you think there is of improving animal welfare?

Signed, but have to agree with Fenwoman - it'll not do any good - although I wish to God it could!

I didn't watch the video - I can't bear to watch cruelty in any form and I've seen what the Chinese do to animals!
