Why would a Chinese mayor listen to a campaign which is signed by many non-vegans who don't consume dogs, but consume other animals that matters as much morally? I think it would be much more effective to show him why the usage and consumption of any animal products is morally wrong. And the mayor is as responsible as the rest of every and any non-vegan for this festival taking place. Everyone eating and using animals and their products is directly paying for the animal exploitation and that all animals of this world should be regarded as property, a status which never will protect them from animal abuse and murder.
I think such petitions are problematic, since they send are either sending the implicit message/often interpreted to mean by the readers that there is a difference between animal cruelty of different countries, and difference between animal cruelty of different species, and also only condemning one sort of animal cruelty against this species. I think those petitions confuse many non-vegans, making them think they are helping animals without challenging their speciecism and their non-vegan habits of animal cruelty against other species for food. Here are some more problems:

I think we should focus our time on this kind of education: http://bloganders.blogspot.no/2013/06/varfor-fordomer-vi-djurplageri-men.html [in English, see instead: http://articles.philly.com/2009-08-14/news/24986151_1_atlanta-falcons-quarterback-vick-illegal-dog-dog-fights ] - i.e. showing non-vegans that all animal exploitation is inherently wrong and showing that they already agree with the basic premise, which will they cause them to go vegan if they just follow what they believe.
What do you think?

This article http://articles.philly.com/2009-08-14/news/24986151_1_atlanta-falcons-quarterback-vick-illegal-dog-dog-fights ] shows people consuming animal products that all animal exploitation is inherently wrong. It is wrong to inflict unnecessary suffering and death upon animals, and this is done for each bite of an animal products. Each bite is paying for industralized animal abuse.
