Dear people,
If like me, you have been waiting for years to see a
light at the end of the tunnel for fur bearing animals in China, this time
has finally arrived. I am elated to tell you that a new dawn has broken for
millions of animals in the fur farms of China who suffer unimaginable agony
-- one you and I have heard of and seen so many pictures of. I never thought
that an anti-fur campaign would ever take place in China -- but it has, and it
will be huge if ALL OF US HELP with whatever we can.
I would like you
to please read very carefully -- this message from the bottom up to see that
hope has finally come to those poor souls. I have worked tirelessly for
years helping fur bearing animals in China, so the JOY I feel today is
indescribable.

For Rosa:
Thanks again for your supportive and enthusiastic reply.
I'm just as happy as you are with the great achievements and response we get
within China. It's marvelous, the groups are so willing to spread the
message with the campaign packs and materials we provided. Hardly could
envisage that we would run out of resources so soon, but that's only a very
good sign. Just to give you an idea on what would be needed to continue our
(ACTAsia and local groups) efforts on the anti-fur campaign throughout
China:
Printing costs leaflets: $0.1/p. x 20.000 = $ 2,000
Printing
costs poster: $0.6/p. x 2.500 = $1,500
Hosting (1 year) and maintenance
(including updates) of website 6 months = $1,500
That's totaling to
$5,000, which I realize that is a lot of money. But it is so vital, and any
contribution towards that aim, from you and your impressive fan base on
Facebook, is really helpful. I've attached the paragraph you have requested,
and I hope it is what you are asking for. Please amend it if you feel
necessary. We appreciate so much for you providing this opportunity and
circulate this message for us. If you need any more info or details, please
let me know.
I have enclosed the picture of poster and leaflets
(double sided) for your reference.
Many thanks again.
Pei

Dear Pei,
You
have NO idea just how happy you made me now. I have been waiting for years
to hear such good news from China. What you are doing there is just
magnificent. I will send you a donation towards the brochures, banners and
postage, also the website. Can you give me an idea how much you will need
and I'll see what I can do. Also, I'll be soon sending our my newsletter
announcing our conference in June. If you would like to write a paragraph I'll
add it with your signature and all information where people can donate to
help.

I also want to think about
having you here at our conference because your current work is SO important.
In fact, the anti-fur activism in general started because of fur production
in China. So, you would be focal point at our conference.
Thank you
so much, Pei.

Dear
Rosa
Sorry for the delay of reply.
It's so wonderful to received
your kind message.
In fact, apart from our anti fur campaign in January
- February 2011, we are just launching our "Winter 2011 & Spring 2012 No Fur
China Campaign" from 1st December.
This is why I am so busy to directing
our Chinese team on the ground to deliver this campaign.
The
responses so far are over overwhelmed and thanks to all our staff and many
volunteers who have done a great preparation work to launch this campaign.
I have listed the significant results of this campaign below for your
reference.
* ACTAsia prepared a comprehensive No Fur China Campaign
which contains poster of the campaign, the information fur trade, consumer
information, individual action page, no fur leaflets etc., 11 items of
different type of information were included in this campaign pack to
help/teach local groups in different part of China on how they can launch a
fur campaign which is a very new topic for most of animal protection groups
in China. (I can send you a set of campaign pack for your reference, if you
like)
* This winter campaign we are collaborating it with Sohu.com
which is one of the main search engine in China. Sohu.com runs a micro blog
site (similar function as twitter) and its micro blog site crated a special
web page for our 'No Fur China Campaign' where allows us to list our
statement, Q & A, video footage links on this page.
http://t.sohu.com/huati/1971
* More than 50 local animal sign the joint statement for this winter
campaign and this is the first time to have so many join effort for the fur
issue.
* We have over hundred Chinese celebrities including famous
movie stars, TV stars, singers, film directors, media columnists, athletes
to give their individual statement on anti fur issue and then we re-posted
them in our micro blog pages.
* Last month We held a press
conference to announce the launch of campaign and sohu.com also create a
page to allow people to participate the press conference online.
http://t.sohu.com/live/2635 more
than 35 reporters attended the press conference and many newspapers reported
our campaign news.
* On 2nd of December our team and local
volunteers together with two animal groups in Shenzhen, we launched the
first public awareness campaign as the start of the off line campaign during
the Shenzhen Fringe Festival. Our volunteers use body art performance to
demonstrate the problems of fur industry and products. See our facebook page
to see the photo album of the Fringe Festival

* From 2nd week of December universities and animal groups from all
different part of cities are starting to conduct awareness campaign. Because
of these encouraging participations our 10,000 leaflets, 1000 posters were
all being sent out to 10 different cities throughout China.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/ACTAsia-for-Animals/26459649616?ref=ts
* There are more campaign activities will be taking place from now until
the begging of Chinese New Year in the end of January 2012.
Now, we
Urgently need support for the printing materials, banners and postages so we
can send more materials. We also need to build No Fur China campaign web
site but we do not have any more budget to do that. Any help from you will
be very much appreciated.
With best regards
