Ya know I dont like China anymore it seems there doing the worst things to dogs and cats most of my down part is fur.
I'm sorry, but that's quite ignorant. You can't dislike an entire country simply because they raise animals for fur. You might as well dislike every other country that eats cows, chickens, pigs, raises fur, kills animals for medicine... heck, why don't you hate EVERY country? For what it's worth, I am Chinese and I found that comment to be quite inappropriate. You can't say China is "doing the worst things to dogs and cats". You've never been there and I highly doubt you've been to any of the other Asian/third-world countries. A country can only support so many animals without compromising the health of its own citizens. I'm sorry, but I'd rather have one dog die than have one of my cousins die.

I agree that the governing body was wrong in the sense that they slaughtered privately owned pets, but many of you don't understand how China runs. Sanitation is not a high priority and it's VERY easy for a privately owned dog to be bitten by a rabies-infected stray dog. Furthermore, the disease can spread like crazy with so many strays and unwatched family pets. Chinese dogs are not often leashed or supervised like American dogs.

*sigh*
The killings prompted calls for a boycott of Chinese products from the activist group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Have fun, PETA because you guys are going to have to boycott alot of clothes, vegetables, furniture, shoes, etc. What a dumb "solution"
