Chinese Population Control: Not Just for Babies Anymore

posted by on November 8 at 18:24 PM

Coming in tomorrow’s New York Times:

“Only one pet dog is allowed per household in the zones, and dangerous and large dogs will be banned,” the news agency said. “Anyone keeping an unlicensed dog will face prosecution.”

At least it’s a great day for the Pekingese!

I'm thinking that if I were living in China I probably wouldn't want to own a dog, given the recent killings of dogs carried out by government officials in a reponse to a large number of rabies cases. Many times the dogs were beaten to death in front of their owners. Maybe I'd get a cat.
