Dog Massacre in China
Dogs are massacred in China as a result of a rabies scare.
Please, take a minute to view these terrible pictures of what is going on right now in China and at the end (below the pics), are links where you can protest against the brutal slaughter of dogs in China for the Olympic games in 2008.
In July there was a rabies scare, so the goverment brutally killed 50,000 dogs in front their helpless human guardians.
On August 8, 2006, The Humane Society of the United States offered $100,000 to the government of China to establish an effective rabies and humane dog control program in certain southern provinces in the country, conditional upon the government's termination of its mass dog killing programs and its acceptance of assistance to develop a humane and effective rabies control program. The offer comes in response to the clubbing and killing of more than 50,000 dogs in the Yunnan Province and the prospect of the expansion of the program into other provinces and regions in China. The HSUS sharply criticized the killings in a letter to Chinese Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong, and offered the organization's help to develop a more effective and humaneresponse to rabies cases.
Now, in spite of all this, from November 7, 2006, the Beijing Municipal government will also start this massive dog killing campaign. Before that date, the Sino-African Beijing Summit will be held, thus, the Beijing municipal government is reluctant to distract the police power from the summit. It is hard to estimate how many dogs will be killed this time in this campaign. According to reliable sources, this dog killing campaign aims to engage all social forces; and this campaign will be coordinated directly within the government. According to the government's plan, this "dog regulating work" will be phased in three stages.
We also have news that the Beijing dog keepers/guardians are ready to take on the streets at 11 o'clock on November 11, 2006 against the 35cm rule. It's hard to tell the outcome of the demonstration. Moreover, from now till the day of the demonstration, many dogs will still lose their lives!
We have no idea what lead to this dog cull. If it is for the Olympics, then we will need to boycott the Olympics and whatever is relevant of China until they embrace change for a more humane lifestyle and/or choices! Olympic Games cannot and should not be an excuse or achieved through blood and murder!
P.S. We need the whole world to know about this. Please help... Now the goverment wants to shot, beat to dead, electrocute and poison 500,000 more !
