	Quote:Apart from all the above, there is the separate issue that Mrs. Yang lives in Communist China, where no doubt there are severe restrictions on private bank accounts. If her private account is suddenly credited with large sums from all over the world, there is a risk that her account might be frozen for investigation. She really needs a separate charity account (if such a thing is possible there).
Very good points! I hadn't thought about this aspect of things. It would be a problem to move a lot of money here. I can't imagine how things are done in China.
I think Mrs. Yang's work is big enough that it needs to be set up as a charity. I don't know about other countries, but I do know that it is no so easy to do that in Canada. There might be all kinds of complications. If they can get money to her in small amounts right now it might be for the best. Having supplies delivered might be even better, unless they have laws against accepting gifts.
You are right Tobi, people are very emotional about this. I just don't understand why they don't focus their anger at the people hurting the animals. They are the enemy.
