就美国“Rodeo China”2011年国庆期间到鸟巢演出计划
郑重声明
1． Rodeo China美国主办方——美国“简单永远都是美”公司（Less Is Forever More Inc., LIFM）、美国ZZYX娱乐公司（以下简称“Rodeo China美国主办方”），将涉嫌动物虐待的美国牛仔竞技表演推销到中国来，有悖中国大陆当今文明进步的潮流，是不受欢迎的。这种将美国大多数人民不认可的强迫动物表演的项目介绍给中国，是对中国进步和中国关爱生命的传统的无知。把美国人民抵制的糟粕当着文化推销到中国来，是对中美两国人民的侮辱。我们将通报美国政府和民间团体，希望今后美国对华文化交流要经过美国政府和美国相关团体的严格审查。不允许美国和任何外国将文化糟粕推销到中国来。
2． Rodeo China美国主办方向中国政府有关方面递交的牛仔竞技到华演出申请材料，必须向中国的民间团体和动物保护专业人士公开。申请材料如果回避、弱化、甚至掩盖牛仔竞技的残忍性和其受到公众广泛质疑的事实，就是欺骗中国政府的行为。我们要求有关部门，对Less is Forever More, Inc 提出的申请进行审查。
3． Rodeo China美国主办方如果执意要在北京举行牛仔竞技表演， 必须做到以下4点：
（1）无条件接受中国媒体和中国动物保护人士对使用的动物的全程监控；
（2） 向动物来源国说明动物引进到中国的真实意图；
（3）演出广告必须规定，18岁以下的未成年人不得进入牛仔竞技表演场所。
（4）向中国公众公布动物表演后的人道安置方案。
（5）首都爱护动物协会保留采取其他合法行动的权利。

Capital Animal Welfare Association Statement
on the Proposed“Rodeo China”Show at the Bird’s Nest during China’s National Day Holiday
1. By promoting US rodeo shows that have long been criticized for animal cruelty to China, the US sponsors, i.e., Less is Forever More Inc. and ZZYX Entertainment (hereafter referred to as “Rodeo China” US sponsors) are acting against the tide of progress in civilization on the Chinese mainland. Promoting rodeos to China is therefore not welcomed by the Chinese people. Introducing to China a show that forces animals to perform and is rejected by the overwhelming majority of the American people is indicative of the ignorance of the US sponsors of the progress made in China and of Chinese tradition of compassion for all life forms. Propagating Rodeos as American culture is an insult to the American and Chinese people. We shall report to the US government and relevant American NGOs and urge the US side to adopt a stricter process for evaluating cultural exchange programs with China. No country is allowed to peddle to China refuse disguised as culture.
2. Rodeo China US sponsors must make public their application materials for staging the rodeo show submitted to the Chinese authorities. If the application withholds, sidesteps or covers up information on the cruelty of the show or is silent on the fact that the show has been denounced by the American public, the US sponsors can be implicated with intentionally deceiving the Chinese government. We request that the appropriate Chinese government offices to start an investigation of the application materials submitted by Rodeo China US sponsors.
3. If Rodeo China is to be staged, we demand the US sponsors to comply with the following:
a. Animals used in the show and the show itself shall be unconditionally monitored by the Chinese media and Chinese animal protection groups in the entire period of the show.
b. Exporting countries of the animals used for Rodeo China shows must be informed of the true purpose of the acquisition and long-distance transport of the animals concerned.
c. Rodeo show advertisements should state explicitly that the show is not appropriate for the audience younger than 18 years of age.
d. Humane arrangements must be in place and made public for the proper handling of the animals during and after the show.
e. Capital Animal Welfare Association reserves the right to resort to all other legal means to pursue this matter further.
