Three people contracted rabies in southern China. Chinese officials responded by killing ALL the dogs in the area...all 50,000 of them.
Now, I am not an animal activist. I am not any kind of activist.
But, officials walked about and clubbed to death 50,000 dogs. Beat them to death with sticks!
Holy smokes.
Fido was yanked away from his master during his evening walk and beaten to death on the spot....then taken home for dinner, no doubt, as the main course.
Spot was alarmed by people walking about outside late at night and then dragged to the street and whacked into doggy heaven.
After the communist take over of 1949, dog ownership was seen as a sign of affluence and generally thought to be pests by the average Wang.
Though attitudes have softened, Gizmo the dog is still no friend to many.
So, who did the counting, I wonder?
go to 老毕看中国
Wow 50,000 dogs dead because of some crazy people. That sucks a lot. I think that such things should not be allowed. The Chinese need to think before they act
