Extra! Extra! More dead dogs, a video crackdown and Zara

• They are slaughtering dogs in Nanjing in the name of rabies prevention and public order:

  City regulations ban owners from bringing their pet dogs to public places and disturbing other people.

  The rules state that all dogs which enter public areas without a proper reason such as medical treatment or a public performance can be killed by public security bureaus or other units entrusted with the task.

  However, officials from the police bureau said the campaign will not kill domestic dogs roaming public places. Instead, owners will receive warnings and fines between 300 (US$37.5) and 1,000 (US$125) yuan.

  But how do they tell the strays from the domestic dogs? Very few people in China put tags on their dogs' collars.

  Then, near the end of the story, we read this:

  "Previously, people had to register their dogs with the public security bureau and vaccinate their dogs regularly in order to get a dog licence. After that rule was cancelled, the supervision of dog owners became increasingly loose and more cases of dogs harassing or hurting people were reported," said Wu.

  Brilliant move, Nanjing. Seriously though, Nanjing is a a little too close for comfort.
