Cixi city in the Zhejiang province of china has been painted a bright red by dog blood. I am a sad member of thiscity.
The city government used the excuse of Rabies to tart thismassive killing of dogs. The government says there have been 14 people dead, because of Rabies within this year.
Since October 11th, 40 thousand dogs have been killed to date. The government's plan is to get ride of all the homeless dogs in the area. Toencourage people, each dog killed are paid 20RMB. To receive this money, people havealso killed dogs with owners. Dog hunters have broken into private houses toget their dogs. One dog was taken from an olderly woman inside her own home, she ran after those mad men, fell down the stairs and broke her ribs, herdog taken and killed.
Many dog owners tried to register and vaccinate. Their dogs ahead of the governmenet called killing. But the government prohibitedit all, tellingeveryone that killing is the only answer, there is no other way out. Dog owners then tried to get their dogs vaccinated in neighboring towns, but they were told by the government that even if they can get theirdogs vaccinated in the United States of America, the dogs would still bekilled.
Dead dogs are now everywhere in this city, dog's blood and brainare all over the place. Usually two people get together to kill a dog. Onewould hold the dog down while the other hit the dog’s head with a heavy stick. The dog would be lucky if it can die after two hits, most times dogs died after5 or 6 hits while cry out with pain.
Please ask everyone you know to help us stop this madness. There is Alreadya Mountain of 70 thousand killed dogs.
