The Year of the Dog

[Solitaire]

And, yes, it is the Year of the Dog on the Chinese Calendar, if you can believe that. The year that China is mass slaughtering thousands of dogs.

I've posted before on this, but I've come up with companies to target to help stop this atrocity.

A lot of companies in the U.S. have plants in China and perhaps if we let them know that we won't buy goods made in China if this continues, they can in turn pressure the government or perhaps move their plants. Afterall, if they are not going to sell products that are made there, why would they continue to support this atrocious regime.

I've collected a few names and addresses of companies that have plants there, so that people can write and share their anger over the atrocity of the slaughter of thousands of dogs.

I am now looking at everything I purchase and am finding that there is always an alternative to the product "Made in China". If we all make the effort, perhaps this can work.

I've seen other sites that are asking that we boycott the Olympics, I'm all for that too! This has got to stop.

Best wishes to us all.

P.S. I'm just sick that my iBook and iMac were made in China. :(

4. thank you....

I just sent another letter to Hilfiger the other day, because I would have purchased 3 bags but they were made in China. I even kept the name of the bags, so they knew I was not lying.

I've been trying to purchase "Made in the USA", it's not easy. But, anwhere but China is ok too.

Thanks for writing.
