| A rabies outbreak involving 10 human cases, has prompted authorities in China's northwest Shaanxi Province to order a cull that has already seen as many as 30,000 dogs brutally slaughtered on the streets of Hanzhong and surrounding areas. This is one in 10 of the city's dogs.
The SPCA has written to the Chinese Embassy here in Singapore to convey our strong objections to the brutal culling of pet and stray dogs in Hanzhong, and to urge the Chinese authorities to work together with animal welfare organisations in China and internationally, to bring about a more humane method of stray control (i.e. vaccination and Trap, Neuter, Return, Manage which has also been recommended by WHO organisation).
We urge you to write to the Chinese Embassy so that our message can be reinforced.
Ambassador: Madam Zhang Xiaokang
Address: 150 Tanglin Road, Singapore 247969
