Hi Dianna, Dr John, Pat, and all:

 

as most people had mentioned here, these shelter homes are NOT real homes for

dogs!!!!

 

they sound like paradise and resort area for dogs , professional pet

attendants, nutritious foods, dogs are traeted healthily , dog adoption

plan..etc !!!!!!!!!! do you actually believe????? they are actually traps!!!!!

 

look! if everything sounds that perfect and humanely, and friendly to dogs.

why should they kill dogs in that inhumane way before?! why should they mash

dogs to death in front of dog owners? if that were real, they would have not

killed that many dogs ! if they do care about dogs of their nutrition, health

conditions, planning for adoption....etc, why do they eat dogs, dogs maust ahve

a high evaluation amongst them!!!!???? but of course we have some real dog

lovers!!!! they are real!!!!!

 

you know what if i want to do something to cover my nasty behaviours, i would

tell you the same thing too! or may be even more touching and more beautiful! a

beautiful cover story........to make believe i am an angel!!!!

 

because internally, i could have more innocent people believe me that these

shelters are for the goods of dogs, " bring them here, and i will do much of my

best to take care of them.... " so people would hand more dogs to shelters,

without having more dog killing teams to go doors-to-doors! and externally, this

could smooth the arguements form other animal groups and humane societies

abroad!

 

the only shelters we can trust are those run by real dog owners! these people

are " REAL " , shelters are REAL, and they are in real needs of our helps!

BEIJING, Nov. 16 -- Beijing and neighbouring Hebei Province are establishing

more homes for the increasing number of stray and illegal dogs, according to

Beijing Public Security Bureau.

 

Illegal dogs are either unregistered, or contravene Beijing's " one dog per

family policy. " Official statistics show there are 550,000 registered dogs in

the city, but Beijing Association of Small Animal Protection estimates there are

a further 450,000 unregistered dogs.

 

One of these centres is Beijing Canine Shelter and Inspection Centre located in

Qiliqu Town, Changping District in the north of the city.

 

As a police truck arrived at the centre yesterday afternoon, another four dogs

were delivered to their brand new home and given a health check.

 

With four buildings for large dogs, eight rows of kennels for small ones, a

quarantine zone, an isolation zone and an adoption zone, the centre is capable

of holding more than 1,000 dogs, said Huang Zhimin, head of the canine

administration department of the bureau. To date the centre has received more

than 500 dogs.

 

The centre also has a hospital and a dog cafeteria, while professional pet

attendants and training experts ensure the dogs are treated well.

 

" Nutritious food is specially prepared every day and they are given healthy

portions, " said Huang.

 

As well as ensuring illegal dogs are treated well and are healthy, the centre

also serves as a base for adoption.

 

Qualified citizens can call the centre's hotline, 6973860, for dog adoption,

which takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

 

In Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, the local government yesterday allocated 1 million

yuan (US$125,000) to set up four major dog " foster stations, " Xinhua News Agency

reported.

 

A local official said they would shelter illegal dogs sent to the area from

Beijing.

 

The official said local vets would provide professional caring techniques and a

local army-dog training base would contribute to scientific and rational

management of the stations.
