HELP SHUT DOWN THE ILLEGAL DOG MEAT TRADE IN THAILAND

Every year, tens of thousands of dogs are snatched from streets and backyards in Thailand and tossed into cramped, filthy cages.

With no food or water and barely enough room to move, many will suffocate, be crushed to death, or die from exposure. Shockingly, their torture has only just begun.

These dogs are on their way to China or Vietnam, where many will be skinned alive or thrown straight into a vat of boiling water, and then butchered for meat.

Will you sign Soi Dog's petition to Thailand's leaders and help save thousands ofdogs from a slow and agonizing death?

With celebrities like Ricky Gervais and Judi Dench spreading the word over 500,000 people have already added their name to this petition -- and we've had some great coverage in international press.

The good news is that it looks like it's all working. Soi Dog learned in recent high level meetings that Thai Government officials are strongly opposed to the dog meat trade and are concerned about the country's international reputation.

"White Gold" Or "Bloody Teeth"?

Call on China to stem the surging demand for illegal ivory that is fueling the slaughter of Africa's remaining elephants.

The rising demand for ivory among China's growing middle class has triggered massive amounts of illegal poaching, particularly since 2011. It's now estimated that if this rate of killing continues, elephant populations may never fully recover.

We need to put immediate pressure on China and other ivory-buying countries to do more to protect elephants and prevent the expansion of black markets.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took a major step just days after 41 dead elephants were found in Zimbabwe, pledging to crush 6 million tons of seized "white gold" in an effort to remove it from the illegal market. This is a good start but there's still much more work to be done.
