My Petition for the Animals of China

Please can you sign my petition for the animals of China? 

Every year thousands of cats, dogs and other innocent animals are taken off the streets of China, just to be shoved into tiny wire cages with 4 or 5 other animals and shipped for days without food or water. Up to 8,000 animals were loaded onto each truck, with cages stacked on top of each other. Cages containing live animals were tossed from the tops of the trucks onto the ground 10 feet below, shattering the legs of the animals inside them. Many of the animals still had collars on, a sign that they were once someone%uFFFDs beloved companions, stolen to be bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and strangled with wire nooses so that their fur can be turned into coats, trim, and trinkets. Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and thrown to the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods or slam them on hard surfaces, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row. Millions of animals have already been killed . .We must tell China that the torturing and killing our animal friends is unacceptable.
