SHANGHAI, China - A county in southwestern China has killed as many as 50,000 dogs in a government campaign ordered after three people died from rabies, official media reported Tuesday.

The five-day massacre in Yunnan province's Mouding county spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, the Shanghai Daily reported, citing local media.

Dogs being walked were taken from their owners and beaten on the spot, the newspaper said. Other killing teams entered villages at night, creating noise to get dogs barking, then honing in and beating them to death.

Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their dogs before the teams were sent in, the report said.

This is jsut not surprising for China. They are going back to the old ways of Mao Zedong, which just does NOT fit in the high-tech world of today.
Maybe another Tianemenn (sp?) Square is needed.

I just read/saw the pics about all the cats being eaten in China. How can anyone eat an animal that enjoys your company and offers more in conversation than most humans can? Doesn't China remember the days of killing all of the birds? Their crops were left defenseless to the insects that came soon afterwards.
