Jiangmen, Guangdong changes mind, relaxes ban on dogs

Jiangmen, Guangdong changes mind, relaxes ban on dogs

Well that was fast. Just two days after we initially reported on it and only nine days after the measure was first announced in Jiangmen, last Friday authorities decided to relax their position on their controversial dog ban law. Surprisingly, it seems the Jiangmen government heeded residents' suggestions when drafting the changes: "Under the new rules, pet dogs will be banned from public places such as parks, squares and shopping malls. Residents who take dogs to public venues 'would be advised to leave.' And in the case of attacks, dog owners would be responsible for all medical bills, lost wages and other compensation, the report said." Compared to the old plan of killing illegal dogs on the spot, these rules seem almost humane. more ›

Dogs banned outright in Jiangmen, Guangdong from August 26th

Dogs banned outright in Jiangmen, Guangdong from August 26th

Jiangmen dog owners, this means you! You officially have until August 25th to figure out what to do with your dogs, as a 'special campaign' on pooches in Pengjiang (蓬江), Jianghai (江海) and Xinhui (新会) districts of Jiangmen city (江门市, a city of 3.8 million 102km [64 miles] south of Guangzhou) begins the following day, on the 26th of August. Afterwards, any dogs roaming in public without a license from their owner will be confiscated and put down. And if past campaigns in China are anything to go by, methods employed could be far from humane. more ›

Shanghai pet laws cause owners to bum rush vets

Shanghai pet laws cause owners to bum rush vets

Shanghai is not known for its dog-friendliness. There is neither enough green patches for them nor do they get much love from the Shanghainese government, who we've known to create ridiculous rules. But at least it's become more affordable to legally own a dog - even if you're now only able to own one. The new law instructs that dogs must be chipped and vaccinated before dog owners can register their pups, and that the only way to grandfather in your second dog is by registering them - for these reason, hundreds of people were storming Shanghais vets yesterday. more ›

Estimated costs for 500 rescued dogs said to exceed 10 million RMB

Estimated costs for 500 rescued dogs said to exceed 10 million RMB

The rescue of more than 500 dogs on their way to slaughter last week continues to cause controversy as experts estimate that caring for the many injured and diseased animals could exceed 10RMB million in the coming five years. That's on top of the 115,000RMB an animal protection organization paid to have the dogs freed last week. Leaving out medical costs for illness and injury afflicting almost every animal, vaccines alone cost 150RMB per head, not to mention spaying and neutering range from 250-500RMB. Thousands gathered online and in person to support the rescue last week, and many saw it as a step forward for animals rights in China. The important question now is whether there will be the necessary follow through, or will these animals simply end up dying at the pound instead of at the butcher? more ›

We already know how insanely popular Tibetan mastiffs are with the fabulously wealthy in China (among other ridiculous things.)
