Sign on if you want Chinese authorities to investigate this act of animal cruelty and punish the responsible parties.
Poiposes are a lot like dolphins actually. And the porpoise in question is not only adorable, but it’s also endangered. The finless porpoise is on the red list. It’s believed there are only about 200 of them left and this one was almost murdered for parts!
The sweet porpoise cried the whole time it was being auctioned off and it’s likely that it was injured because, when the activists took it out to sea, it had a difficult time swimming. It’s completely outrageous that someone captured this rare and endangered creature just to torture and ultimately murder it.
Catching and selling a finless porpoise is completely banned and illegal in China. That’s why we want to make sure the authorities find whoever did this and bring them to justice!

I feel ill. What a world. Humans consuming everything in sight, in every way. Blech.
With a few exceptions, the Chinese are so vile and so barbaric in their treatment of animals (Yulin Dog Meat Festival) that it boggles the mind…..this is just another example of their indifference to animal suffering.
On the other hand, animal activists in China have bravely surrounded and immobilized trucks carrying dogs to slaughter. This in a country where tolerance for civil disobedience or direct action is notably lacking. How many trucks carrying cattle, pigs or chickens to American slaughterhouses have been similarly stopped in their tracks? Still, you are right that there does seem to be something frighteningly lacking in the psyche of many Chinese, as well illustrated by this example, when it comes to non-human animals. But then you can’t express such views publicly without risking a summons from the Politically Correct Police, operating under the liberal leitmotiv that all humans are basically good, just sometimes misguided. (That, incidentally, is what Ann Frank wrote in her diary, just before the Gestapo hauled her off to Auschwitz.)
Around here if cows are trapped behind fences in a wildfire, ranchers just shoot them and collect their insurance money, no questions asked…
God I know – to think that another living thing is made to cry because of our barbarism is too much to take. Ugh.
There is NO HUMANITY IN THE “HUMAN RACE”. TO SHOW NO MERCY FOR A LIVING BREATHING SPECIES!😥
