Chinese county clubs to death 50,000 dogs - Page 2

Hello everyone, I know every one is outraged by my stand. But if you read my reaction carefully you will understand I have never supported the way the dogs were killed. Also it is highly condemnable that the pet dogs which probably must have been vaccinated are forcefully killed. The authorities went into panic mode and they lost their ability to think rationally and behaved in such manner. However I wanted to bring to everyones attention how the menace of stray dogs is affecting life of the people where they exists. I dont know shostring where you live. But I stay in India and I know the severity of the problem. If you are staying in developed country like in Europe or America you might not be able to grasp the expance of the problem. Here because of some organisation and also support of politician the killing of these dogs have been stopped. And it is turning out to be a big problem for the people who are living with them. If a small boy is killed by the stray dogs who is going to take the blame for that. Dont say it is his destiny. Keep yourself in place of the parents of that small boy and then answer this problem. accept that these are pests and treat them like that. Otherwise the organisations if they are so much concerned should make arrangements to give these dogs healthy life in a dog pound. I compared dogs with flies and Mosquitos just to explain they are as good as pastes like these are. Killing 50000 thousand dogs is certainly a extreme taken by the authorities but then how do you explain killing even the healthy cows in Britain some years back because of Mad cow disease. or killing the whole poultry because of Bird flu. So please I urge to not get emotional. I again say that the way these dogs are killed is certainly objectionable.

Even more support for not selling GSD's to China. Do you think those who do that will ever "get it"?

Grimmdog you are saying people who it dogs makes you sick. You must be knowing the saying that one man's poison other man's food. May be it is disgusting for you. But it is their food. Some tribes leaving in the jungle think everything that runs,flies and swims is for eating. For that matter I find eating any animal disgusting. How can you raise a small cow calf into a big health bull or how can you raise a cute looking chik and feed it and raise it to be a fat hen and then one day cut it and eat it happily. For that matter take the case of aquarium fishes one raises them with all the love and affection but eats other fishes in the sea. Is it not disgusting? Have you people ever critisised people who owns large beef farms, and poultries. So please just limit our discussion to the way these dogs are killed in China is objectionable.

Sumo, sell your own dogs to China if that's what you think is the right thing to do. Most will never condone what is happening over there, including the skinning of live dogs for their pelts. Would you like me to post the URL to the video of that being done to a GSD? Move on, it's getting old.

Sumo .... who in his right senses would slaughter 50000 dogs to fight rabies. There are more than a million people infected with aids in our country, so does that mean we could potentially slaughter 50 mn people to prevent the spread. Sumo, get a grasp on the reality. These people treat animals with disdain. The guys in the pictures look like they were having fun. These are people who have their pets for supper. These are a bunch of cavemen professing communism. You picked up the wrong thread to voice your concern for Rabies & leptospyrosis. The scale of rabies in this county would never have matched bird-flu or mad-cow scare. Whatever the scale, the method is never justified. Besides, were the cows and chicken clubbed to death? BTW Sumo, do you own a pet dog yet? Anyone planning on selling next years VA1 to China?

<<<,Killing 50000 thousand dogs >>> That is terrible. As bad as Killing millions of buffalo for sport and the advent of the railroad or the killing/rape/relocating of millions of indians by the white man to develop America or the keeping/beating/hanging of thousand and thousand of slaves by the white man, or Genocide that goes on in the Sudan, but America does nothing about...Oh yea no Oil there, my bad. And we have an outcry of dogs being killed in China?? I agree what goes on in China is barbaric and cruel, but for a many many years China has been violating Humane rights, slave labor , religion, imprisonment etc. NOT a problem WE continue to buy their products to support our need for cheap materialistic items, BUT! as soon as dogs get killed there THEN everyone wants to boycott China. Priorities people Priorities.

Just read the story, was anyone else stunned by the hypocracy of PETA who on the one hand condemn China for killing dogs for the fur trade and on the other they order merchandise to popularise thier stance from China? Thankfully they have now cancelled the $300,000.00 worth of orders. I think we should all boycott all things Chinese until they stop these barbaric acts. C.

VHDOOSEK9 ... on this wesite the priority is dogs and thats why people screamed when they read bad things about dogs. Did you expect to read about the human rights record of China here? We'll discuss human rights in China on some other website.

Blitzin, No, I've given up on most of the human race--they can take care of themselves, but the dogs are another matter. Sumo, I'm not outraged by your statement. I'm actually trying to understand your position. I just don't equate hazedous, stray dogs with this issue, and I don't believe you would truly advocate the culling of any of these animals---at least, I would hope so. But your statement could give out the wrong message-- death was a correct necessity and there were no other options. The cows? Probably another atrocity. The birds? Honestly, I would have to think that one over---need more info (they can fly) The dogs? NO question. This was an abomination. I wouldn't do that to a vicious, stray dog---let alone to someone's pet. I read where the Chinese police were kind enough to extend a little time (with also an offer of 63 cents per dog) to allow the pet owner to kill his own dog before taking over and clubbing the dog to death. WHAT A CHOICE, indeed. And as to killing these poor creatures more humanely, they shouldn't have been killed at all.

Food fro thought. "the American economy has become as dependent on import of Chinese products as it has on Saudi oil. And yes, if America were forced to give up either (or both) overnight - cold turkey - the national economy would certainly take a hit. But no one is advocating that. As with Saudi oil, it only makes sense to see that near exclusive dependence on import of Chinese products (no matter how cheap), is not a healthy habit, and that America should in both cases start looking for alternate sources for such products."
