I am not surprised that having dogs during the Olympics was all for show and now that the people have gone home, the slaughter begins. I find the Chinese governments attitude towards dogs and cats other animals atrocious and extremely barbaric. They are the most barbaric people on earth. I am sad for the kind hearted people in China, that care for these guide animals and have them torn out of their arms. Shame on the Chinese Government for their cruel ways! I beg they join the 21st century and come to embrace humane compassion. I fear for this beautiful, smart and caring golden labarador, who may meet a tragic death at the hands of some horrible and cruel chinese monster. Because of their ways, I did not watch one minute of the Olympics nor did I watch any of their shows.

What a bizarre rule. Guide dogs in the USA have had open access to public transportation and even most businesses for decades. Many places, even restaurants, you will see signs which read, "No Pets (except service animals)". We're now allowing not only the seeing-eye dogs, but also other service animals including monkeys, pigs, etc.

I guess she needs to cut his legs off below the knee to make him fit these well-thought out restrictions.

"After this date, guide dogs will be regarded as ordinary pets and not allowed on public transportation." That's just wrong. I am sure there is quite a bit of background material that explains why these decisions come about. Regardless, I can't say I agree. I really feel for the handicapped in China, and in most developing countries for that matter.

Well, suppose there is enough cheap labour in China to get a seeing-eye person...
