We are concerned about this. Being an Animal Welfare Organaisation we feel that Beijing municipal government could give more consideration to the feelings of dog keepers and dog lovers all over the world and find a more effective way to manage the dogs in Beijing. It has also come to our notice that Beijing municipal government is about to take will decimate not only the large breed dogs, but also many small ones only because they exceed the one family one dog quota. As the capital of China and the Host City of 2008 Olympic Game, such brutal way of handling dogs will only tar the international image of Your country. Dogs have been more and more recognized by society as friendly and sincere companions and guards. People view their dog as a family member. Only because their dogs exceed the size rule, they have to be separated with their guardians. This will be a very difficult decision for many families. we understand the government's concern over city environment and disease control, and the necessity to manage the dogs in Beijing, we suggest a more effective, scientific and humane way to deal with it. It is proven in many places in the world that lupomania could be controlled by taking vaccination shots or de-sexing dogs. The government could also launch an education campaign to educate some of the inhumane dog keepers. They play other wonderful and important roles in our society, such as guiding the blind, helping people with hearing difficulties, helping the police. Their smart noses can detect hidden bombs, drugs and prohibited wild animals; they are also used to find survivors during natural disasters.Many large breed dogs like Saint Bernard, Golden Retriever,Labrador.Lapolado etc.are actually mild tempered. They can provide good service for the blind and people with special needs. They are also wonderful family dogs. We request Chinese government to give more consideration when formulating dog keeping rules and learn from other countries that ban dogs based on the species' traits instead of simply by size. More intellectuals and even commoners have started to respect & protect animal rights. There are also more animal welfare organizations have come up in China. You will be aware, when Mou Ding County's dog killing was exposed on the internet, numerous dog loving individuals as well as organizations have expressed their rage towards such atrocities. Many media outlets also criticized the barbaric practice. Government can seek help, from Asian as well as other countries, which have adopted the Animal Birth Control programme successfully, to provide more comprehensive protections to the animals and educate the public on topics such as the prevention of lupomania and management of stray dogs and cats. Dog keepers should also be encouraged to take responsibilities. We are very much concerned about adopting the cruel methods to control number of Animals (when other successful methods are available). We sincerely hope that relevant authorities will have more understanding and respect for companion animals' rights when regulating Beijing's dogs to create a truly harmonious society. for CARE of ANIMALS & PROTECTION of ENVIRONMENT-India(CAPE-India), (Dr.SANDEEP K.JAIN) Chief Coordinator, capeindia1 Dr.Sandeep K.Jain Find out what India is talking about on - Answers India Send FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Messenger Version 8.
