This post is going to turn your stomach. Worldwide media reports that more than 50,000 dogs have been beaten, electrocuted or hanged to death in southern China in a week-long crackdown on rabies — many in front of their heart-broken owners. Eyewitnesses have noted that many dogs have died slow, agonizing deaths in these barbaric mass slaughters.
Please boycott Chinese products until this wanton disregard for the lives of innocent dogs is ended.
Slaughter squads in Mouding, Yunnan province, grabbed pets from their owners while they were out for walks and beat them to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily reported. Death squads made loud noise to make dogs bark, then hunted them down in houses where owners were hiding them and killed them.
Only 3 percent of Chinese pet owners vaccinated against rabies in China and more than 2000 people a year die in China from this totally preventable disease. Insead of an education campaign, or providing free vaccinations, Chinese officials decided to kill the pet dogs.

They do also lots of other awful things in China against human beings. Young poor people are being forced to work in factories for 17 hours a day, ofter even more, for less than $0.60 an hour.
They doin’t receive their loan regulary, they are punished for talking or laughing during work. Just because we want to have nice, fancy clothes.
Children and young people in India working in fabric factories are exposed to dangerous chemicals that destroy their health in very short time.
Agan just because we want to keep up our living standard and earn even more money. I would love to boykot China, but is it possible?
I went around different shops with clothes and found out that 90% of things are done in Asia, if you find clothes done here in Denmark, the fabric comes from India.
I guess the main problem is that we are blind to the slavery happening in our modern civilised world. And we choose to be blind and blame corporations, but without our urge to consume, maybe we could decrease the level of abusment of children and humanity in gerenal.
I think it is sad that so many dogs are killed, but it doesn’t surprise me, as it happens in a country where human life and humans’ rights are disrespected or I’d rather say non-exisiting.
The points you make all are right, and so sad. But there has to be some consequence that China is made to feel and apparently all they care about is economics. It is quite clear that they don’t value human or animal life.
The thing is: how to boycott China without hurting innocent Chinese people who live and work there.
One way certainly is not to buy fur from China. Everyone – except the dogs and cats whose fur is being sold by the Chinese – can live without fur.
China has been doing this kind of thing for years. Cats, Dogs and like Daria says, they don’t show much value for human life in many regards. The articles are out there, you just have to find them.
Yet the businessworld wants us see China as a huge growth opportunity becuase of how rapidly the nation has become industrialized. Thanks for posting this, people need to realize that China has a lot of progress to make outside of econimic growth.
