Mr Truong Tan Sang, President of Vietnam: stop the brutal pig festival at Nem Thuong village!
Every year, at a village near Hanoi, on the 6th day of the lunar new year, which this year is February 15, 2013 a pig is brutally chopped into two so that people can smear banknotes with its blood in the belief that it would bring luck.
The festival is known as the most brutal in the country and is condemned by many, including some who called on the government to stop the festival.

Occupy for Animals had written and forwarded the signatures collected via our first petition (http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/ban-the-brutal-festival-at-nem-thuong-village-vietnam.html) to the president of Vietnam already three times, but received no response so that we must assume that the "festival" will be celebrated again this year.
By signing this petition, the message that you can read below and which is addressed to the president of Vietnam will be sent instantly to several Vietnamese embassies.
Thank you, in advance, for your signature and for asking your friends and family to sign this petition, too. Anyone from any country can signs these petitions.
President Obama and our US Congress and Senate, WE pray that you will hear our VOICE and contact the Mr Truong Tan Sang, President of Vietnam.

Why is this important?
President Obama and Congress,
WE need to stand up and speak up as a country against animal cruelty, abuse and inhumane treatment. WE also need to lead by example with EMPATHY and COMPASSION. WE need to stand on the right side of history and use our VOICE to do the right thing for all animals on Earth.
