I appreciate your love of animals and whatnot but don't you think if the Chinese had means to a more effective manner in which to cull the semi-wild dogs, that have ATTACKED humans!, they would use it?

Instead, why not send the Chinese some vets to sterilze at least some of them? Also, we shouldn't be quick to judge the cultures of others by our own standards. Historically semi-wild dogs were viewed by many cultures as a source of mobile, low investment potential food/material resource.

Culling is nothing new and has allowed humans saftey in their areas of habitation. It may not sound very humane but it will provide a quick, effective solution. Additionally, the Chinese have more important problems than animal rights to deal with first, namely human rights violations.

Let's hear a call to work on that first. I guess we'll have to put that joint down. Darn. . .

China Plans to Slaughter 500,000 Dogs In a hideously cruel response to an outbreak of rabies in late July, authorities in China ordered the killing of more than 50,000 dogs, 4,000 of whom were immunized against the disease. Officials clubbed many animals to death in the street right before their guardians' eyes, while others suffered gruesome deaths by poisoning or electrocution. Now the Chinese government has issued orders to kill an additional 500,000 dogs. None of these beloved companions will have the benefit of a humane death, Rating: 5
