Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Your help is needed in urgent! Pls. let the world know about what is happening here. Besides, the same action will be taken all over China if Beijing takes the lead. Also, I need some experts' opinions to fight against one excuse of the government-- 17% of healthy dogs with rabies vaccinations still carry the rabies virus. Thanks. Irene Animal Rescue Beijing From 7th November 2006, Beijing Municipal government will start a large scaled dog killing campaign ---before that date is the Sino-African Beijing Summit and Beijing Municipal government is reluctant to distract the police power from the summit. It is hard to estimate how many dogs will be killed in this campaign. This dog killing campaign aims to engage all social forces; according to the reliable sources, this campaign will be coordinated directly within the government. According to the government¡¯s plan, the ¡° dog regulating work¡± will be phased in three stages: I. Planning and deployment. From the second half of October, the district will hold a dog keeping management meeting, in which the dog regulating work will be deployed to the sub level. During this meeting, the district authorities should have a clear knowledge on the number of dogs in the area and pass the action plan for dog regulating. II. Awareness campaign. Government organizations will launch an awareness campaign on dog regulating and the coming actions through the media. The campaign will focus on introducing the background, identifying the priority and setting goals. The government is determined to solve the dog related social issues. Meanwhile, the government will also send out pamphlets on the health risks unregulated dogs poses to human beings and calling for civilized dog keeping. III. Tracking and searching. The government will relegate the power to local community Party organizations to enter dog keepers¡¯ homes and organizations to check the exact number of unregistered dogs and dogs that are not properly vaccinated. The local Party organization also aims to have a thorough knowledge on the number of stray dogs, large breed dogs, families who keep more than one dogs, dogs that disturb the neighborhood and dogs that do not obey the allowed walking hours, dogs that mess the environment, dog farms, dog markets and pet hospitals. All the information will be listed in detail and reported to the Dog Keeping Administration Office. Dog keepers will be registered as well. IV. Enhancing the examination. Public security, agricultural organizations, Industry and Commerce organization as well as urban administration office jointly issue a notice to further the implementation of the dog keeping regulations. All the unregulated phenomena such as unregistered dogs, walking dogs beyond the allowed hours, dogs that are not vaccinated, keeping large breed dogs in prohibited areas or keeping more than one dogs, organizations or companies conducting their business beyond the allowance of their business license, littering in the public will be strictly prohibited. V. Self examination. Government organizations at all levels and the competent authorities should record down the detailed information of all the dog keepers and give vaccination shots to all dogs. Such practice as keeping more than one dog or keeping large breed dogs will be prohibited. Dog keepers have 7 days to correct their practices and send large breed dogs to the countryside as required. The public opinion should be so powerful that dog keepers have to register their dogs or vaccinate them. Large breed dogs should be kept in the countryside within one¡¯s courtyard. Small sized dogs that are kept in the city are not allowed to enter public places. Stage II: law enforcement (7 november---30 november) The nine priority areas will be focused one after another in the second stage. During the law enforcement process, all the law enforcing agencies should take initiative and work proactively to respond rapidly to the hot issues highlighted through the press or mentioned by the district leaders. The law enforcing agencies should also respond the reports from other people in a timely manner and the press will give due exposure to the unregulated dog keeping behaviours. Throughout the district 7 battles should be combated against unregulated dog keeping. Battle 1 (law enforcement checking at a different place): 7-9th November, 17 law enforcement groups will be selected in the district and sent to work at a different location. Journalists could accompany the policemen and work together. Battle II: (Public security takes the lead): 10-14, November, the public security takes the lead and other agencies join forces focusing on the unregistered dogs, large breed dogs and multiple dogs in one family in the key areas. Battle III: (Urban administration office takes the lead): 15-17th, Urban Administration Office takes the lead and other agencies join forces focusing on the dogs wrecking harms on the environment and public hygiene and unlawful activities such as peddling puppies without licenses. Battle IV: ( Commerce and Industry organization takes the lead): Commerce and Industrial organization takes the lead and other agencies cooperate to thoroughly examine dog markets, dog hospitals, dog stores and dog farms. Battle V (Agricultural agency takes the lead): 20-24, November, agricultural agency takes the lead and other agencies cooperate to examine the vaccination status of all the dogs registered in the district and catch stray dogs and cats. Battle VI ( key communities law enforcement battle) : 25, 26, November, a comprehensive law enforcement activities will take place mainly in Jade City, Rui Hai Jia Yuan, Qsingtao Jia Yuan, Yu Hua Yuan, Xing Zheng Dong Li, Xing Zheng Xi Li, Xuan Yi Jia Yuan, Qing Yi Yuan Community, Brave New World Community. Battle VII ( Key issues battle): 27-30 November, focusing on the remaining issues and transferring personnel between different locations to thoroughly check and examine. Stage III: Review and final check I. Set up a review group. District Dog Keeping Administration Office will set up a review group to review and check the dog administration work done by the local communalities. 2. Final check the dog keeping situation. Based on the three stages of the district¡¯s dog keeping tasks, the review group will set up some concrete criteria for the local communities and they should review and final check the work in the light of the criteria. 3. When implementing the law, local communities will hold workshops when necessary to identify existing problems and promote good practices. 4. summarize the result, questions, experiences and practices and communicate effectively within the district. 5. When the campaign is finished, local Dog Keeping Administration Offices should report the campaign achievement timely and carry on the work for the future. ¸Ï¿ì×¢²áÑÅ»¢³¬´óÈÝÁ¿Ãâ·ÑÓÊÏä? http://cn.mail.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Dear Irene Just to respond to your request on experts' opinions with regards to the reason of dog culling in China - " 17% of healthy dogs with rabies vaccinations still carry the rabies virus. " Prof. Zu Shu-Xian, who is a medical professor on epidemiology in An Huei University, has written several articles in Chins and argues for this untrue statement. The summary of his articles in Chinese was published in Beijing News last week http://comment.thebeijingnews.com/ 0732/2006/09-16/014 £»http://comment.thebeijingnews.com/ 0732/2006/09-17/014. He also sent his views to the Department of Health in China and received the positive feedback. Meanwhile, Prof Zu contacted WHO, CDC (USA) and Oxford Vaccine Group at the University of Oxford, and asked for their comments on this matter. All of them answered that rabies virus-carrier in health dogs is a very rare phenomenon which will have not have impact on the epidemiology of the rabies as usually described. I am sure that Prof Zu will be happy to pass on the replies which he has received from the experts to you or more details to you in Chinese. Hope this information is helpful for you.
