The only effective way of eliminating rabies in dogs is through a mass vaccination program with support from different levels of society Humane dog control programs need to be started immediately As seen in the photos attached, people are smiling and appear to be excited at the thought of beating these animals to death. There are many Chinese who are outraged with this behavior, and many owners who are deeply heartbroken and helpless as they have to be subjected to watch their own beloved dogs die in front of them. Media coverage is necessary to bring attention to these atrocities, and hopefully we can persuade our government to encourage humane actions towards dogs, rather than savagely beating these animals to death.

Thank you for your efforts for the animals. INFORMATION In response to incidences of rabies, the authorities in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province have started a massive cull amongst dogs with the objective of making the city a dog-free zone. Thousands of stray and owned dogs are being killed by literally beating them to death! Please raise your voice against this useless and cruel slaughter. In a unique collaboration between animal welfare groups and veterinary assocations, training workshops are being held for vets in Shenzhen and Beijing. Beside practice in latest neutering techniques, animal welfare in a clinical setting is discussed and the essential role of vets in promoting neutering. Local animal welfare groups are working desperately to stop further killing. Meanwhile, ACTAsia is presenting a suggestion book on 'Rabies Control in China' to the Chinese authorities. We are urging them to use scientific measures for rabies control (see OIE & WHO statements) and to stop the inhumane culling of all dogs in Hanzhong area. International support would be of great help to prevent the killing of more animals in extremely inhumane ways. Thank you for everything you do for animals!
