Say NO to mass dog slaughter in China
Target: Clark T. Randt, U.S. Ambassador to ChinaSponsored by: Care2
Officials in a southwestern Chinese county brutally slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies.
Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot. Killing teams also entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, and then beat the animals to death.
Had the government been more attentive and proactive about rabies vaccination, the killings wouldnÂ’t have been necessary. Only 3 percent of dogs are vaccinated against rabies and more than 2,000 people die of the disease each year.
Regardless of culture, the brutal killing of innocent life, human or not, is unacceptable. This must not happen again in the future! It is essential that the Chinese government place an emphasis on widespread rabies vaccination to ensure human health and prevent the unnecessary loss of animal life.
Sign this petition to call on the US Ambassador to China, Clark T. Randt, to urge the Chinese government to adopt rabies prevention as a rule.

This is one of the most imhumane things I've ever heard. I am sure they are educated enough to know how to prevent rabies in this age.

It makes me weep that in this day and age they could do something as primitve as beating dogs to death,when thier problem could simply be solved by the distribution of vacinations. Please stop this horrible animal cruelty.

This is 2006, China needs to get with the program and require that all dogs are vaccinated against rabies, this is the HUMANE and sensible way to prevent the spread of rabies. The way China has dealt with the problem is BARBARIC and this people should be punished for their actions. These people are complete savages

Why do you continue to take such violent and brutal actions against these helpless animals when you can step into the 21st century and prevent such hideous slaughters and be humane by simply vaccinating these dogs against rabies and penalizing dog owners who do not comply? Stop these brutal killings and do something humane.

This action is important for dogs health. Killing them is cruel, barbaric and inhumane. You need to start a rabies prevention program in your country.Stop needlessly killing dogs, they deserve to live as much as you do!
