Due to fears of rabies, these animals are not generally eaten and have become widespread in some cities. Instead of introducing a plan of spay and neuter as has been done in many more civilised countries, the Chinese solution is far more immediate and, not surprisingly, brutal. The photos on this page were taken in Cixi between 10th and 16th October 2004 where an unverified estimate of 40,000 dogs were slaughtered. Long poles with a wire loop at one end are used by dog-wardens throughout the world as an efficient and safe method of catching dogs. But this is China and this device is put to a particularly Chinese use........ Here the operation is performed by a two man team. While one man holds the dog helpless with his pole, his partner beats it to death with his. Not only is this done legally, but these men (police and volunteers) are paid a bounty by the local authorities for every dog they kill. All of which lends serious doubt to China's claimed intention to introduce animal welfare legislation. These bands of killers roam the city streets slaughtering any dogs they find. Pet dog ownership is not encouraged in China, due both to the Chinese obsession with eating anything that moves, and to Mao Tse Tung's declaration of them to be a symbol of the bourgeoisie. (Registration costs around US$125 with an annual renewal of US$62. Average annual income is around US$3,000.) These dogs also are not safe however. Any dog found on the street is immediately killed. This is soon to be repeated throughout China, with the blessing and encouragement of the national government. http://sirius.2kat.net/cixiguilin.html To see the complete article and send a letter, above.These photos took place in October last year but they will keep on killing until the olympics 2008 These are the addresses to send letters to.
