Dear Human Society International,
*This message has been translated for Japanese people who can not speak or write English.
I am writing you because we desperately need your help. There are over 200 dogs (originally rescued from puppy mills) in Osaka, Japan that are facing extermination by the Osaka prefecture on Feb. 27th 7a.m. (In Japan time). Many of these dogs have been infected by Brucella canis and that is the reason for extermination. Osaka prefecture has done so little to save these dogs' lives. It seems to me they never meant to help them in the first place. These dogs could be saved by appropriate treatment but nothing has been done. There are couple of organizations in Japan that have been trying to save these dogs, but Osaka prefecture has no ears to listen and ignored all of their attempts to help. We need to stop killing dogs that are treatable and we need your help to change their mind about this.
For references and more information about this, British Border Collie Rescue Group have offer support and posted the information on their website:
Here, you can see how terrible things are. http://www.bordercollierescue.org/Foriegn/ Asia/Japanese%20Dogs.html
I urge you please to contact the Japanese embassy in the US, or any other places you can thing of, and implore them to stop killing the dog that can be saved by appropriate treatment. These dogs have been mistreated by human since they were born and it is time to treat them right!
Here's the contact information of Japanese embassy for your convenience. We really don't have time, please show us what you can do to make a difference in this matter.
