Now I will write something more constructive to the topic.
- I do agree that the actions are barbaric, that's only common sense
- Let's not forget that China is till a developping country, you can't really judge with standards of the richest and most developed countries
- The bottom line is money. Like the article pointed out, less than 3% of the dogs in China had rabies vaccination, because the locals just don't bother. Too much hassle, too much money.
- If you had a similar case of rabies outbreak without any other effective measures of containment in any country, the government would do the same. Don't tell me "you can capture and euthanize thousands of dogs with proper equipment & personel", like I already said, all that requires money, we are talking about a developing country here
- China gets criticized a lot these days, simply because she's in the spot light. Many countries in Africa, Asia and south America are much much worse, things that are 1000 more barbaric are happening everyday there, but no one cares, the media doesn't say sh*t about those things, because they are NOT sensational. China bashing is definitely "in" these days.
