【Plz share and take action!】
Today, our world supposed to be more civilized and people are more educated. Obviously technology brings us more good and material. Unfortunately, animal cruelty is still an issue in some countries. Some cultures believe the more the animal suffers the better the meat tastes. This year, AELLA Asia will work with NotToDogMeat.com, with a clear message re anti animal cruelty. Please join us in sending email to those countries and express your concerns.
今日, 我們的世界更文明進步，人類也受到更多的教育。科技帶給我們更多物質。可惜，虐待動物的問題依然嚴重，有些地方竟然還相信動物在生前受到越多折磨，肉質會越鮮美，或者貓狗肉有補身的作用。今年，AELLA Asia 會與 NoToDogMeat.com 聯手合作，一起向各地宣揚不吃貓狗，反對虐待動物的訊息。請大家一起向各地地方政府發電郵，表達你的關注。

Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings!
We are a group of people who would like to express our concern of dog and cat meat trade. As we know, a lot of people treat dogs and cat as companions or even family members. They are such intelligent animals. Dog and cat meat trade is (for the most part) an illegal, unregulated industry, run by criminal gangs and fueled by greed. The cultural practice of deliberately making an animal suffer to alter the taste has not and never has been acceptable. We believe animal cruelty can be AVOIDABLE.
There are so many dogs and cats have been eaten each year. Quiet amount of dogs are skinned alive, fur sold of cheap clothing/ carpet. Some area even have festive in celebration of eating them. And there are people believe the more animal suffers the better the meat tastes. This means dogs are beaten and blow-torched alive and cats are boiled to make soup and elixirs. Where do the slaughters get this amount of cats and dogs? Some of the animals raise to be eaten, and some of them are stole from people. How sad it doesn’t only happen in the developing countries but also some developed countries.
We would like to ask you to help these poor animals. Please so-end more efforts into stopping illegal dog and cat meat trade. Even more, please prohibit eating dogs and cats. We have got enough meat and killings in the world and we don’t need more. Thank you for your attentions.
Sincerely

敬啟者︰
我們是一群關注非法貓狗肉買賣的人。因為我們知道，有很多人把狗和貓視為同伴，甚至視為家庭成員，牠們是很聰明的動物。貓狗肉買賣（大部分）是非法而不受管制的行業，由貪婪的犯罪集團運行。說是因為傳統做法說是動物臨死之前越受苦肉質越鮮味是不可以接受的。我們相信動物被虐待是可以避免的。
每年有無數的貓狗被人食用。也有不少狗被活生生剥皮做些便宜的皮草或者地毯。而也有不少地方竟然有吃貓狗的節日。還有人相信動物死前越受苦，肉質就越鮮美。這意味著狗狗們會被虐打和活生生燒死，而貓就被煮成湯羹和藥物。肉販子如何提供這麼大量的動物？有些是養大的食用犬，有些卻是偷別人的寵物。而更可悲的是這些事情不只發生在發展中國家，有些已高度發展的文明大國也包括其中。
我們懇請你幫助這些可憐的動物，請再盡力阻止非法貓狗肉買賣。還有更甚的是，請禁止吃貓和狗。我們有足夠的肉食和對世界的殺戮，我們不需要更多了。非常感謝您的關注。
祝 好﹗
