Chinese County Massacres 50,000 Dogs
By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN, Associated Press Writer

5 hours ago

SHANGHAI, China - A county in southwestern China has killed as many as 50,000 dogs in a government campaign ordered after three people died from rabies, official media reported Tuesday.

The five-day massacre in Yunnan province's Mouding county spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, the Shanghai Daily reported, citing local media.

Dogs being walked were taken from their owners and beaten on the spot, the newspaper said. Other killing teams entered villages at night, creating noise to get dogs barking, then honing in and beating them to death.

Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their dogs before the teams were sent in, the report said.

The massacre was widely discussed on the Internet, with both legal scholars and animal rights activists criticizing it as crude and cold-blooded. The World Health Organization said more emphasis needed to be placed on prevention.

"Wiping out the dogs shows these government officials didn't do their jobs right in protecting people from rabies in the first place," Legal Daily, a newspaper run by the central government's Politics and Law Committee, said in an editorial in its online edition.

Dr. Francette Dusan, a WHO expert on diseases passed from animals to people, said effective rabies control required coordinated efforts between human and animal health agencies and authorities.

"This has not been pursued adequately to date in China with most control efforts consisting of purely reactive dog culls," Dusan said.

The Shanghai Daily said 360 of Mouding county's 200,000 residents suffered dog bites this year. The three rabies victims included a 4-year-old girl, the report said.

"With the aim to keep this horrible disease from people, we decided to kill the dogs," Li Haibo, a spokesman for the county government was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency.

Calls to county government offices rang unanswered on Tuesday.

China has seen a major rise in the number of rabies cases in recent years, with 2,651 reported deaths from the disease in 2004, the last year for which data was available, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Experts have tied the rise in part to an increase in dog ownership, particularly in rural areas where about 70 percent of households keep dogs. Only about 3 percent of Chinese dogs are vaccinated against rabies, according to the center. Access to appropriate treatment is highly limited, especially in the countryside.

  • Lots of Chinese tours in the Finger Lakes. I was not impressed with their manners. They were swarming all around the made in China souvenirs. Found that rather ironic.

    Yes but Lassie was mostly played by a male. Hence the extra-long fur around the haunch area.

    Ah, but the sex of the "actor" is irrelevent to the sex of the character. Just ask Peter Pan.

    Go fuck yourselves!!!!

    I love dogs, too.

    But I am ethnic Chinese, so YOU go fuck yourself. There's plenty of shit that goes on in every country--don't be so stupid as to make a dumb-as-fuck generalization like that. Ignorant twat--or racist/xenophobic halfwit. Take your pick.

    I'm NOT talking about your ethnicity. Relax... sorry I'll edit that. I thought people would know what I was talking about. :rolleyes:

    EDIT: You live in American.. You're American. Just like I'm not Dutch. I'm American. Ethnically, we're all human. Unless you're beating the dogs to death, I'll consider you a friend.

    I agree.

    I spent 3 wks in Bucharest a few years back and my god, the packs of dogs roaming the streets is crazy. During our pre-trip breifing, we were told an estimated 200,000 stray dogs are in the city..and that was a few years ago.

    This is a retarded policy. Truly.
    This thread made me laugh a few times, though.

    I'm not a citizen yet.

    And even if I become one, that's nationality. There is a difference between nationality and ethnicity, and I am 100% ethnic Chinese, and while I will say that perhaps I'm a bit on edge given certain topics here, I just think that title was a bit uncalled for.

    I thought this read was going to be about ... you knowing ... fucking Chinese. Interracial sexual congress?

    I was disappointed.

    Well ok then. Nothing against the Chinese people. It's their pets who were being murdered.. I'm arguing the senseless government decision.

    I can see your point that the title uses the word "Chinese" in a derogatory manner--such broad stokes have implications. It doesn't hurt that we become aware of the ramifications of our word choices. Even though I understand the original poster may not have intended any offense.

    then just don't go around with Fucking Chinese in your thread title... i mean if you can't see that you will offend someone by posting "fucking chinese", i don't know what to say. If someone start a thread saying "fucking french canadian" you'll have me in his face, and a lot more agressive than what you got from her/he...
