Pet owners living in the Jinshan District, watch out. Jinshan officials have begun a massive search and seizure of unlicensed dogs in the area. This sudden dog culling has come after a stray dog allegedly bit 19 people on Monday. It attacked the first victim at 8am and then was cornered roughly two hours later and clubbed to death. As we've warned multiple times before, the result of these search and seizures are usually extermination - don't expect your dog to be safely lying in a jail cell while you look for relevant documents to prove its innocence. And remember, get your dog licensed and carry your license with you every time you take it for a walk - no matter how unreasonable 2000RMB and the need for multiple doggy photographs looks, it's got to be worth it if it saves Rover from death by beating.

Around a week ago, Shanghai Daily ran a story entitled "Top tourism sites named":

OK, that's a little misleading. This happened in Jinshan District, which might as well be Anhui Province. But still, a buffalo was shot and killed along an expressway in the outskirts of Shanghai on Thursday. They couldn't get the obviously lost (and huge ... 500 kg) animal off the road, and then, reportedly, the buffalo started to charge police cars. They ended up calling in a sharpshooter. It's a really sad story:

The Associated Press is reporting that heat caused a steel container full of liquid ammonia on the back of a truck to explode Tuesday in Nanhui District, sending 60 people to the hospital. By late Tuesday, however, only three people remained hospitalized. While the AP says 100 people were injured by the blast, Shanghai Daily puts the number at 65 -- and says the injuries were caused by three separate explosions, the worst being the one in Nanhui that occured at 12:30 p.m. The paper also said a talcum powder container exploded at Shanghai Xiangmao Co., Ltd., a Jinshan District factory with a "troubled history." Four workers were burned, some on as much as 30 percent of their body. A similar explosion at the plant injured 10 on June 20. The day's other accident occured at 6 a.m. at the intersection of Wuyuan Lu and Wukang Lu. A gas pipe explosion sent two people to the hospital.
