"Because we are a public welfare live broadcast this time, we have turned off the tipping function, but you can click on the little blue heart in the lower right corner of the screen to make a public welfare donation. "On January 29, the China Small Animal Protection Association broadcast the physical examination of two cats in Kunming Zoo on the short ** platform, attracting tens of thousands of people**. As of February 1, the link's project "Feeding Stray Animals for a Meal" has raised more than 270 yuan.
One question: Is it necessary to transport cats for thousands of miles? Is it safe?
Why did you transport two cats from Yunnan to Beijing? "Kunming can't be cured locally or no one has adopted it? "Is there a risk of stress on a long-haul flight for these two cats who have been bullied for a long time? "One cat lover said that long-distance transportation is painful for cats. In the live broadcast room and the short ** platform, many netizens questioned the practice of the China Small Animal Protection Association.

Since the "monkey and cat coexistence" incident in Kunming Zoo was **, Lin Lin, who opened the cattery, has paid close attention to the movements of these cats. "At first, I was very worried about what happened to them. When I first ensnared them out of Monkey Mountain, I was worried that I wouldn't find them, but when I saw them properly placed, I felt that my heart was hanging and I was relieved. However, the follow-up disposal of the two cats puzzled Lin Lin, "I originally thought that they would be properly placed in the local area, which was the best choice for cats, and I don't understand why they were shipped to Beijing." ”
It is understood that after the "monkey and cat coexistence" incident aroused social concern, the China Small Animal Protection Association intervened in the matter and reached a consensus with Kunming Zoo to take over the two cats. On January 28, the China Small Animal Protection Association transported the two cats to Beijing and released them on the short **platform** with the text: "The two cats in Kunming Zoo have been placed in the Miaomiao Cat House of the China Small Animal Protection Association, and we will take care of them for everyone." ”
Shen Peng, an expert in veterinary medicine at Jilin University, said that the pet consignment process is cumbersome, and it may be necessary to book in advance, and there is no way to effectively accompany it, and if there is an emergency, it is difficult to find it at the first time. In addition, cats may have low body temperature, low blood oxygen, stress, and cardiac arrest on airplanes.
Q2: I have already undergone a comprehensive physical examination in Yunnan, why did I travel a long distance again after being transported to Beijing for a physical examination?
After the two cats were transported to Beijing, the live broadcast journey did not end. On January 29, two cats were transported from Fangshan District, Beijing to a pet hospital in Chaoyang District, where they began a comprehensive physical examination. The physical examination lasted about 5 hours, during which the China Small Animal Protection Association, the Physical Examination Pet Hospital and the personal account of the hospital president all conducted a live broadcast, which also attracted tens of thousands of people**. The physical examination was carried out in a large chain of private pet hospitals, and the president of the hospital introduced that the two sides had reached a temporary agreement the night before that the hospital would conduct a comprehensive physical examination for the two cats free of charge, and after the physical examination, the hospital organized a release event to announce the physical condition of the two cats.
It is worth noting that, according to Nanfang***, the two cats have undergone a comprehensive physical examination at the Animal Hospital of Yunnan Agricultural University when they were in Yunnan. The physical examination trip is from Fangshan District to Chaoyang District, with a one-way distance of more than 40 kilometers. Many netizens questioned the true purpose and necessity of this physical examination, "People who really love cats will not let cats be transported around, why should they be transported from Fangshan to Chaoyang for another physical examination?" "Even if you still need a physical examination, can you be nearby?" "Why do you have such a full schedule for cats?" "This association is playing with the traffic of pet protection. ”

On the short ** platform, it can be seen that the China Small Animal Protection Association has conducted an intensive live broadcast of this incident, all of which are topical, such as "the cat has been placed", "everything went smoothly when the cat was checked", etc. Huge amounts of attention and traffic are pouring in. Transportation, physical examination, placement, all links are arranged compactly. After intervening in the incident, the China Small Animal Protection Association livestreamed more than 10 hours a day from January 29 to 31, and the amount of fundraising soared to more than 270 yuan during this period.
Three questions: How to use the closed tipping and the live broadcast fundraising of nearly 3 million? Who regulates it?
According to the official website of the China Small Animal Protection Association, the association is a national social organization registered by the Ministry of Civil Affairs with independent legal personality, and is the only national NGO organization that practices small animal protection public welfare.
At 12:36 on February 1, Zhang Haiqiang, Secretary-General of the China Small Animal Protection Association, released the project progress on the fundraising platform, and as of January 16, 2024, the project has received a total of 28,934 donations$16. "In the past week, the donation of the project has increased, and Huayi Public Welfare will properly supervise the project funds and follow-up implementation in accordance with the relevant national requirements. ”
As of February 2, the "Feed Stray Animals a Meal" project has attracted more than 200,000 donations, and the amount of funds raised is more than 2.76 million yuan. From January 16 to February 2, the project raised a total of more than 2.73 million yuan.
In the live broadcast room and the comment area of the short **, some netizens questioned, "Do these two cats need more than 2 million yuan?" "Where will the more than 2 million yuan be used and who will distribute it in the end?" "I donated 50 yuan, hoping that the money can really be used for stray cats. In the live broadcast room, the staff of the China Small Animal Protection Association replied to netizens that the funds raised would be used for the rescue of stray cats and dogs. However, many netizens said that they were blocked when they asked about the details and purpose of fundraising funds in the live broadcast room. In a live broadcast on February 1, the China Small Animal Protection Association said that due to some pressure, it may not broadcast the recent situation of the two cats in the future.
In addition, some netizens raised questions about the project budget, in the project budget listed in the "Feed Stray Animals a Meal" fundraising project, the "pet food budget" is 1.5 million yuan, the "public welfare live broadcast" budget is 600,000 yuan, and the "short ** publicity" budget is 300,000 yuan. ”

A staff member of Huayi ** Association told reporters that the fundraising project of "feeding stray animals for a meal" is to be spent and implemented in accordance with the original implementation plan and budget, and then information disclosure is made according to the requirements of the platform. "We will first purchase pet food and then distribute it to the animal rescue base under the China Small Animal Protection Association. The staff member said that ** will bear the supervision obligation of the funds raised, and the expenditures will go through the process of public bidding, and all expenditures will have corresponding bills.
The Huayi Club staff also told reporters that in May 2023, Huayi Club and the China Small Animal Protection Association cooperated for the first time, and the fundraising project "Sponsoring Stray Animals for a Meal" was launched on Tencent Public Welfare, which has now ended. The fundraising, bidding information, procurement expenditure, expenditure details, etc. are publicized on the fundraising platform and the Charity China platform. However, after checking the relevant **, the reporter found that on the fundraising platform, the project of "Sponsoring Stray Animals for a Mouthful of Food" showed "Fundraising is over, please check the final report!" The "Project Completion Report" column reads, "Project Report Pending!" In the column of "Project Progress", there is no information such as "bidding information", "procurement expenditure" and "expenditure details" mentioned by the staff, only "proof of receipt of donated materials"; On the Charity China platform, the project of "Sponsoring a Meal for Stray Animals" is displayed as "in progress", and the public content only has information such as "current balance", "current income" and "current expenditure".
Tang Chenglong, a member of the Beijing Lawyers Association and a practicing lawyer of Beijing Shizhao Law Firm, told reporters that the China Small Animal Protection Association is a social organization established for public welfare purposes or non-profit purposes. With the increase in the number of social groups, some social groups have made profits in violation of regulations, set up off-the-books funds, and conducted related party transactions in violation of regulations, "making profits in the name of non-profit organizations", which has seriously damaged the image of non-profit social groups, hindered their healthy development, and is also directly related to the vital interests of caring people. In this regard, the public may request that the social groups receiving donations promptly publicize the circumstances of donations and expenditures. If violations of laws and regulations are discovered, they may make a complaint or report to the registration organ of the ** department in accordance with the provisions of the "Measures for the Acceptance of Complaints and Reports by the Registration and Management Organs of Social Organizations (Provisional)".
In response to the above questions, the reporter tried to contact the China Small Animal Protection Association, and a staff member who answered ** changed his name to a volunteer after learning about the reporter's interview questions, not a staff member, and did not understand the situation. The association's official website and social media platforms are not announced**, and the association's registration** is displayed as an empty number after dialing. Since then, the reporter has searched for the China Small Animal Protection Association**, and tried to get in touch with the official account of the China Small Animal Protection Association on short**, Weibo, WeChat and other platforms, but has not received a response as of press time.
