Another issue is that they are cruelly destroying stray and domestic cats in preparation for the Olympics. They gather them up and put two or three in cages that are the size of microwave ovens and leave them to die in some sort of camps for strays. They have also convinced people who own cats that the cats carry Sars and should be dumped in the street. I have boycotted China for years because of the treatment of labor in sweat shops. I have started a petition for the cats, but this doesn't mean I don't care about people. If you are interested in signing the petition, which is only to ask the mass media to report the story,please do so. Personally, I think that putting all the issues up front, Tibet, Darfur, Sweatshops, Human Rights Issues in their own country and animal cruelty, is important so individuals can understand the severity of the problems and take whatever action they deem appropriate based on an informed point of view.
