Petition in reaction to the intolerable and growing mistreatment and terrible ordeal of animals in Mexico, as well as to the endless trade of animal fur from the extermination «farms» of the world fur industry, particularly the Asian one and especially that of the Popular Republic of China.

In the dawn of the 21st Century, in view of the irrefutable scientific advances in the field of knowledge of animal intelligence, consciousness and sensitiveness, and taking into account the most elemental moral and ethical principles kept by any sensible man, we find ourselves facing the urgent and obligatory need to operate a radical change in our societies’ mentalities and habits in the various spheres of economics, industry, public education etc.
Also, outraged by the permanent reject and disdain of these subjects in the scholar, institutional and public fields in general; confronted by the paucity or even inexistence of regulations concerning the prohibition of extreme mistreatments and terrible torments inflicted to animals, as well as of other regulations that formally base, control and protect the well-being and the respect due to animals in any allegedly «civilized» society, therefore we sign the following petition to the responsible authorities, and very specially to the Mexican ones, to engage without delay in the following reforms:
IN MEXICO:
• As it is already done in developped countries, the creation of a righteous and coherent legal stance for animals in the Mexican legislation and Constitution.
• The prompt and formal implementation in Mexico of a National Commission for the Protection of Animal Integrity and the Defense of their Rights, as well as of an organism of investigation, monitoring, action with legal effects which by means of a regulation corps can watch over the prosecution, arrest and punishment with criminal charges of those who, on an individual, collective, institutional, industrial etc. basis, consecrate themselves to the abuse, mistreatment and torture of animals in Mexico, for any reason, should it be personal, recreational, « cultural », industrial, commercial or other.
• The prompt and active incorporation of Mexico to the international efforts and regulations in favour of the formal prohibition of confinement, mutilations, torture and skinning of live animals in the world, particularly in Asia (Korea, Philippines, Thailand etc.) and especially in the Popular Republic of China.
• The prescription of a Mexican regulation that promulgates the immediate cease of any fur trade or traffic with any extermination breeding place or «farm», Asian or not, as well as any derived product from these places.
ABROAD, IN ASIA AND CHINA:
• The creation of a regulation for the prohibition of confinement, torture and skinning of live animals.
