All dogs face a death sentence in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, China.The city issued a new rule on Wednesday, providing if anyone is caught with a dog in the urban area, they not only have to stand to\u00a0see the\u00a0dog killed, but also\u00a0pay a fine of up to 200 yuan ($29).<\/p>\n
Boxun<\/a> reported that the rule was issued only because a high-ranking\u00a0local party official was attacked by a dog when he was walking in the urban area. Local citizens, particularly dog owners, felt sorry for their dogs and angry at the\u00a0government. Han Han, a famous blogger, also reported about the dog-bit-party-secretary<\/a>\u00a0event, and felt lucky that the secretary were not a higher ranking party leader from Beijing, “if he were promoted to Beijing, we would not stand a chance of living any more.”\u00a0<\/p>\n According to China Daily, an official of Heihe’s public security bureau, who declined to be named, said, “Dog excrement is found in many areas … posing a serious challenge to our goal of building up a clean and beautiful city.” (China Daily 05\/23\/2009 page3)<\/p>\n Activists said Heihe is using “the most cruel and violent method” to deal with dogs, instead of seeking constructive ways to accommodate them.
