The Killing Streets Of Hanzhong
The Chinese City of Hanzhong, in the northern province of Shaanxi, has killed 36,000 stray and pet dogs in
a bid to wipe out rabies... as the country considers a draft law recognizing animal
rights and making such a cull illegal (Reuters). In some areas, local officials order dog guardians to
kill their own dogs on the 20th or 21st of May. If they refuse, police will kill the dogs and charge
guardians $100 Chinese Yuan (around USD 15) as a destroying fee... Citizens worldwide denounce mass death
sweeps as a form of disease containment. Killing squads comb streets with poles and sticks to violently
beat any dog they encounter. The public is outraged by accounts of animals poisoned, clubbed, buried
alive, and electrocuted.
Please enact a strong anti-cruelty law to jail and fine those who neglect, abuse, or kill animals. Dog and
cat culls, along with the brutalization of "pets" to make food or medicine, certainly qualify as abuse and
killing.

Honorable Officials Of The People's Republic Of China,
I am pleased legal experts are drafting China's first animal welfare law. If enacted,
this law might have stopped the recent massacre in
Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province that wiped out some 36,000 dogs. Please prioritize
this legislation and include a provision to outlaw dog and
cat culls.
Citizens worldwide denounce mass death sweeps as a form of disease containment.
Killing squads comb streets with poles and sticks to
violently beat any dog they encounter. The public is outraged by accounts of animals
poisoned, clubbed, buried alive, and electrocuted.
A strong anti-cruelty law ought to jail and fine those who neglect, abuse, or kill
animals. Dog and cat culls, along with the brutalization of
"pets" to make food or medicine, certainly qualify as abuse and killing.
The law should also focus on population control and responsible guardianship. The
best system to curb stray populations combines
sterilization with required identification (tags and computer chip implants). And, as
other civilized nations have learned, the only proven way
to prohibit rabies in dogs is mandatory vaccination.
I urge federal and municipal agencies to devise a long-term rabies prevention and
inoculation program. Random slaughter doesn't fix animal
overpopulation or disease. In fact, the sudden removal of tens of thousands of dogs
can actually trigger relocation of dogs from nearby areas.
When new dogs move in, they may bring new diseases with them. The cycle of
transmission simply renews itself.
Evidence indicates the Chinese people strongly oppose mass kills. When the city of
Heihe, Heilongjiang province, banned dogs and authorized
a cull, public backlash prompted officials to rescind the order.
The bloodshed not only hurts animals, but also violates the rights of your citizens
to care for their own dogs and cats. Please back animal
welfare legislation that criminalizes abuse and fosters a culture of responsible
guardianship, nonviolent disease prevention, and humane
management.
Thank you,

WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
- Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
- Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.
