Wenshan, China bans daytime dog walking

I corrected the location. Thanks for catching that.

This is a bit of a throwback to a harsher time. Hopefully the ban will not spread to other parts of China.
In time the old ideas will die out. For now pet owners must be having a very hard time.


Rabies is so preventable. In the many places in the world where it is still a problem a small investment in vaccines would save lives and millions of health care dollars.  Caring for people who are dying from rabies is a bigger economic drain than having a vaccination program. 

China would find its people are happier for having dog companions. It would be worth it even if there needed to be a vaccination program to protect people. Dogs give back more than they ever cost us.
