My name is Katie Carpenter, aged 22 and from Dublin. I am in need of your support to help raise awareness on the issue of Chinese zoos.
With the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics fast approaching, China is facing scrutiny over the treatment of its captive wild animals in zoos and with good reason. I the footage on Sky News a few weeks back showing animals kept in small, squalid conditions, chimpanzees being given beer â
Reaching this level of visibility feels heavy when I think about the conditions these animals are still enduring. I am exhausted by this fight but seeing this many people acknowledge the truth gives me the strength to keep going.

This is just heartbreaking. Animals dont belong in cages like that. No living thing deserves that kind of torture.
