Summary
A Chinese journalist writing under a pseudonym reports on a rare protest in Chongqing where 500 people blocked an apartment for five days to rescue pets trapped by a man. The article discusses how animal protection was long ignored in China, but while public protests are emerging, the government dismisses activists as Western-influenced troublemakers.

· 3 pulledProteste wie unlängst in der Metropole Chongqing hat es in China in diesem Jahr noch nicht gegeben: Anfang Juni haben 500 wütende Menschen fünf Tage lang die Türen einer Wohnung blockiert, um die dort eingesperrten Haustiere aus ihrer Hölle zu retten.
