Marc Ching, Convicted kidnapper, Animal Abuser & Scammer
It all started when…
The moment Marc Ching created his organization “Animal Hope and Wellness,” and started fundraising the public had a right to know about his criminal past.
Marc Ching made a conscious effort to purposely hide his conviction for Kidnapping in 2000, so he could rake in millions of dollars by using the horrific torture, and slaughtering of dogs for the dog meat trade in both Yulin, China, and throughout southeast Asia.
Ching was such a con-artist, he was able to convince Hollywood stars, Matt Damon, and Joaquin Phoenix to help give him validity in his fundraising efforts.
Marc Ching’s L.A. Court Documents
Unfortunately, Marc Ching doesn’t agree with the fact that the moment you ask someone for donations, the people have the right to know all about whom they are donating their money to.
How would you feel if you voted for a politician but after they were elected you found he had been found guilty of domestic abuse?
How would you feel if you brought your child to a Doctor and only later finding out he was convicted of malpractice that resulted in a child’s death?
March Ching has taken in Millions of dollars in donations through his Dog rescue Charity “Animal Hope and Wellness.”
But somehow Marc Ching didn’t think it was important enough to explain to the public why he was arrested in 2000, found guilty and sentenced to an 11-year in prison sentence for Kidnapping?
