We, the undersigned, call on the government of Kuwait to prevent the needless slaughter of German Shepherd Dogs, said to be in the possession of an American businessman who has lost his security contract with a petroleum company. It has been reported that 30 dogs have already been killed and another 80 are targeted for death. This is a vicious and inhumane treatment of trained and serviceable animals, and we ask that the government find the perpetrators and prevent further loss of the animals' lives.
