Another Reason To Hate the Chi's

I hope I beat zackPe to this post.

News from China this morning-- 50,000 dogs killed due to a rabies outbreak. If you thought the human healthcare system in China sucks (along with all the humans rights abuses) check out the fact that China only vaccinates 3% of its dogs against rabies.

So 3 folks died in this province due to rabies (2,000 die per year in China from rabies) so the government went out and beat to death 50,000 dogs.

People were walking their dogs and government officials would run up and beat people's dogs to death while on the leash. Officials would go into the towns at night and start making noise; when dogs would bark they'd then find the dogs and beat them to death.

But the upside-- if owners were willing to kill their own dogs before gov't officials got there then the owners were paid a handsome sum of 63 cents.

And on the "who gives a FQ front", PETA has cancelled a $300,000 order of Chinese products in protest of this slaughter. I would actually think a boycott from a legit organization would hold some salt, but PETA, plzzzzzz.
