Taiwan's dogs still need our help! View PETA's Investigation!

Please continue to write weekly -- thank Premier Siew for passing the Taiwanese Animal Protection Law and for responding to the many letters we have sent, but also let him know that we continue to hear that little, to no change has really occurred.

Dear Premier Siew:

With the passing of the "Animal Protection Law" the shelters and the way stray animals are treated should greatly improve. Nonetheless, the existing problem of an overwhelming number of stray animals still needs to be addressed. What actions are you taking to correct this problem?

Educating people on spaying and neutering of animals is highly effective. Campaigns against puppy mills and overbreeding are also adequate ways to control overpopulation. Without further measures taken you will still be killing millions of animals simply because of ignorance.

Also, how do you plan on enforcing the "Animal Protection Law"? While working with the COA and EPA, will the Republic of China help form a separate organization to monitor the success of the bill?

What is being done to seek out the wrongdoers and penalize them? Are the fines steep enough to make people stop torturing animals or will they simply get a "slap on the wrist?"

Finally, what is being done to stop the slaughter of 2 million dogs and cats annually for their fur? Will this bill have the same affect for the farms that breed animals for fur? Will the slaughtering house be forced to stop the killings?

I appreciate the steps that your country has taken thus far -- please continue to work for a world that is a safer place for animals.

Sincerely,

Your Name
