• Dog Culling Begins in Beijing - On November 7, 2006, a dog-culling campaign began in Beijing, affecting large parts of the city (strikingly similar to the same things that occurred in Athens prior to their Olympics as the host city).  Best Friends has been receiving emails from many individuals in Beijing and throughout China asking for help in stopping the campaign of seizing dogs. These calls for help state that private homes are being entered, and that people’s dogs are being removed, taken away and presumably being killed. Street dogs are also being rounded up. In Beijing people are permitted to own one small dog. Small is defined as less than 35 cm (14”). The dog must be licensed. City officials have begun entering people’s homes and confiscating all “illegal” dogs, that is those that are unlicensed, or larger than 14 inches or the “extra” dogs in homes with more than one dog. - Read the entire article HERE
