Monday, August 14, 2006 at 6:17 AM Chinese county clubs to death 50,000 dogs
Campaign against rabies prompts mass slaughter in southwestern China SHANGHAI, China - China slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies, sparking unusually pointed criticism in state media Tuesday and an outcry from animal rights activists. Health experts said the brutal policy pointed to deep weaknesses in the health care infrastructure in China, where only 3 percent of dogs are vaccinated against rabies and more than 2,000 people die of the disease each year. The five-day slaughter in Mouding county in Yunnan province in southwestern China ended Sunday and spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, state media reported.
Story continues below ↓ advertisement Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said. Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their own dogs before the teams were sent in, they said. The killings were widely discussed on the Internet, with both legal scholars and animal rights activists criticizing them as crude and cold-blooded. The World Health Organization said more emphasis needed to be placed on rabies prevention. Mass killings condemned
The official newspaper Legal Daily blasted the killings as an “extraordinarily crude, cold-blooded and lazy way for the government to deal with epidemic disease.” “Wiping out the dogs shows these government officials didn’t do their jobs right in protecting people from rabies in the first place,” the newspaper, published by the central government’s Politics and Law Committee, said in an editorial in its online edition. In an editorial, the official Xinhua News Agency said the killings wouldn’t have been necessary if the local government had been more attentive, but called the slaughter “the only way out of a bad situation.” “If they’d discovered this earlier, they could have vaccinated the dogs and ... controlled the outbreak,” the editorial said. Pet activists call for boycott
The killings prompted calls for a boycott of Chinese products from the activist group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “We are urging everyone to actively boycott — not a word we use lightly — anything from China given the bludgeoning killing of thousands of dogs,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said. She said the group had canceled all orders of merchandise it sells that are made in China. Will Wright, at PETA’s European office in London, said the orders were worth about $300,000. “We believe other groups will join us in expressing outrage over the blatant cruelty to animals the world is witnessing,” Wright said. Mouding County officials defended the slaughter in a region where about 360 of the 200,000 residents suffered dog bites this year, with three people reportedly dying of rabies, including a 4-year-old girl. “With the aim to keep this horrible disease from people, we decided to kill the dogs,” Li Haibo, a spokesman for the county government, was quoted as saying by Xinhua. Calls to county government offices went unanswered Tuesday. Located in mountains about 1,240 miles southwest of Shanghai, Mouding is famed for its Buddhist shrines. A dog's life for real
Unlike in the West, where dogs have long been cherished as companions or helpmates, dogs have rarely had an easy time in China. Dog meat is eaten throughout the country, revered as a tonic in winter and a restorer of virility in men. Following the communist seizure of power in 1949, dog ownership was condemned as a bourgeois affectation and canines were hunted as pests. Attitudes have softened in recent years, although urban Chinese are still subject to strict rules on the size of their pets and must pay steep registration fees. ENCARTA
• CHINA: Maps, facts and figures
About 70 percent of rural households now keep dogs, according to the Chinese Center of Disease Control and Prevention, and increased rates of dog ownership have been tied to a surge in the number of rabies cases in recent years. It said there were 2,651 reported deaths from the disease in 2004, the last year for which data was available. Access to rabies treatment is also highly limited, especially in the countryside, said Dr. Francette Dusan, a World Health Organization expert. Effective rabies control requires coordinated efforts between human health, animal health and municipal agencies and authorities, Dusan said. “This has not been pursued adequately to date in China, with most control efforts consisting of purely reactive dog culls,” she said.

I don't think China gets much buisness from though U.S. though... so their boycott will be very effective for saving those dead dogs.

Kasumi is actually a Shar-pei pitbull mix. Interesting. What's her temperament like? Pitbulls usually seem just novelty lubby-dubby (unless they're abused), but shar-peis seem more aggressive / bitey. No she just has malformed nipples. Zona too. Apparently I couldn't show her because one isn't quite all there. What the fuck is wrong with breeders / people who get obsessed about breed standards? I assure you that these are not people you want to hang out with. —anobody |

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 at 12:48 AM Kasumi's temperment is essentially what you discribed it as.
As a puppy she had the pitbull chew everything to hell, we had to get rid of our couch because of it. She's finally stopped, but she's just a very friendly loving dog.
She doesn't bite, but she's really playful. The thing I like is that she's a quiet dog she only barks if you play with her really actively or if someones at the door The best part is that she snores and snorts here and there. She's not a mean dog, she's protective like any other dog. I don't think it'd be smart to break in to our house, but if your with us then she won't leave you alone because she gets so excited. Mostly my fault for not walking her more and letting her burn out her energy but she's a reallllllyyyy hyper dog when she gets going. But mostly she just sleeps on me all day and terrorizes my wife when I'm gone at work. She likes to nip people in the ass with her front teeth to.
And I think all dogs nip's are malformed. —rAnCIDsICk@!!! |

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 at 8:35 PM I think I got it, they at least referenced it on the June 11, 2003 show with Benji Madden and Bill Bellamy, here is part of the transcript from http://goodcharlottenz.tripod.com/id22.html, cleaned it up a little: Benji: Do you know that they card for condoms in some states?
Drew: Yea.
Adam: What is this 16 or 18?
Benji: I'm not sure but I think it's 18.
Adam: Because isnt there--
Benji: Isn't that like defeating the purpose?
Drew: Yes.
Adam: It seems that it would be.
Drew: But it's an improvement from how it was when we were young which was it was up behind the medication, which is where the pharmacist was.
Benji: And you have to go, "uh I need some of those"...
Drew: Mr. Smith, he'd have to come down and talk to the pharmacist-
Adam: Well Drew would have to go down to Koreatown to buy his because his father is a doctor and his father knew all the pharmacists. So if he went any place in town it would be like, "Uh yeah the Pinksy boy came in here and bought a truckload of condoms". So he'd have to head down to--Where did you go, Chinatown?
Drew: Sure.
Adam: And you know all us round eyes look the same to them. They wouldn't know any different. But you'd have to go back to the back. And they'd have to fish them out, right?
Drew: Yeah, oh yeah, you'd line up with the blue hairs.
Adam: I had to make my own condoms. When I was in high school--
Drew: Really, what did you make them out of, catgut?
Adam: No I would use--sometimes catgut, other times--
Benji: Water balloons.
Adam: Yeah water balloons, crown royal sacks. Whatever I had.
Benji: You ever seen a water balloon?
Adam: (imitating angry Asian woman) What are you doing with all those condoms? You sell to friend?
Drew: I dunno, I'm horny!
Adam: That's what it would sound like.
GOOD TIMES!
