A city in north China has ordered all indoor animals of anyone with covid be killed immediately. They designated professional culling teams to carry the order out.
Fortunately the order has been halted, for now. It is not clear how many animals have already been killed.

It is already understood that killing pets is not needed and not helpful. The risk of transmission from a pet to a human is low.
It is simply a quick reaction without lot of thought about whether it would help. It requires a certain attitude towards animals to immediately jump to the idea that killing them would help anything. All it does is create stress for everyone and needless suffering for the animals.
