Can you order tap water? That way you wouldn't have to change your eating habits too much, plus its free.
And you could use the opportunity to tell all the waiters why you are boycotting coke.

Several e mails have left from me tonight, one of them being the olympics official website

It's a dangerous thing to order tap water in this town, but many have iced tea. I think I'll go for that instead. I'm still trying hard to avoid many of those products. And it helps that my coworker has been boycotting anything made in China since the dog incidents. She now has a comrade in that fight.

I was at WalMart yesterday....
Most of their merchandise was manufactured in China.
I suspect by US owned companies.
It's possible that the monster is us.

Thank you Susan for sending you e-mails.
I will send mine today.....

Come on everyone...
e-mail e-mail e-mail

I've sent e-mails and links to every contact on their website so at least one of them will see it surely!

I have just seen this thread, and will be sending emails out tonight to all of the sponsors on the list.

I am sickened. Utterly sickened and in tears.

No more "made in china" for me.

Disgusting creatures. I won't even call them people, because they're not. They're monsters.

I understand your anger about what is going on with these cats.
Thank you for sending out e-mail about this.

I feel the same way as you do but as a reminder...
not all citizens of China are ignorant about the abuse of cats and dogs that goes on in China...
See Post # 38 in this thread.

Oh my god. I am sorry I even read this thread..I feel like it must be a horror movie.

What kind of person could do that? And this is a whole country!? (obviously, I realize there are people within the country who do not condone it)

I feel like I am going to be sick. What savages.

We're joining the boycott! The systematic extermination of cats is unacceptable. http://www.animal-justice.org/olympicboycott.html

Excellent!. I've done a few of those companies last night so i'll do the rest

Does anyone here know who in the USA will be showing the Olympics??? If enough viewers threaten to boycott the Olympics and maybe if the outrage reaches any sponsors of the US Olympic teams, then perhaps the Chinese government would be pressured to stop this evil practice!!

I have just finished sending my emails. I will not be buying ANY of those products again, and will do my best not to buy anything made in China.

I would welcome any other websites devoted to products not made in China. Does anyone have any "made in Canada, UK, etc." sites to add?

Thank you for the links - they're in my favorites now

Not one reply came from all of those contacts and companies i e-mailed......Now theres a suprise!!

I plan to write a letter to each sponsor- I have to find that out first if it is not already here. Will brb after I do that. I HATE that China does this. I love the Olympics but this is not the first time it has been used for politics. They were boycotted in Russia when Russia invaded Afghanistan so it
s not without precedent. And countries as Ghandi said must be judged by how they treat their most vulnerable (or something like that). I also think of 1972 and that horrible massacre. The Olympics bringing peace indeed- Many on the committee were corrupt a few yrs ago.

Here they are:

And me who likes to drink coca cola, oh dear! That's if for me until all this stops!
And Johnson and Johnson make Tylenol amg a lot of other things.
And no more McNuggets, sigh! (I only eat them now and then anyway)
But there is the matter of my VISA card. Yikes!
A tough proposition but if every VISA owner said no or even every one who ever ate at McD's protested, wow!
And Kodak - I need a digital camera now fersure.

I have received nothing from the Olympic committee, the companies or PETA.

Right now, as I type this post, cats in Beijing are suffering horribly, for the sake of tourists, TV and all the money those monsters, including the multi-national companies, will be making from the games.

I have heard nothing from the numerous emails I have sent either.

There is nothing on that sponsor list that I can't live without

I'm going to resend my e-mails again but adding on "Have the courtesey to reply!!"

The Chinese have a sickening record of cruelty to animals. A few years ago, an undercover Japanese activist captured horrifying footage of cruelty to dogs and cats...they were literally being skinned alive so their coats could be used for clothing or stuffed animals!! I have boycotted "fake fur" ever since realizing that in China it is cheaper and easier for them to skin a helpless animal alive rather than use synthetic fur. To this day, I am haunted by that videotape.

To quote Ghandi 'A country can be judged based on how they treat their animals" and China should be judged VERY harshly.

Thanks for posting those links. I'll be calling and emailing every sponsor of the Olympics today.
