Chinese dog owners told to get rid of pets or else

[Catherine]

There is such a struggle for animal protection in China. Officials in one district have told pet owners to get rid of their dogs or they will come and kill the dogs. It seems there is nothing they can do legally to stop this.
It is very heavy handed and rather arbitrary, but the officials can do this.
No wonder it is so hard to make progress for animal rights in China.

I don't know what the pet owners are going to do. The people working in the animal rights movement definitely have their work cut out for them.
