China recently banned ownership of all large dogs and limited each family...

I agree. That would make a lot of difference down the road. Unfortunately, they have to deal with the reality of now. It's so sad! Thanks for responding.

You raised some good questions. Hopefully someone from China will give us some answers, because I don't know myself. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Hi, philip, you sound like you know what you're talking about. Have you had any dog problems you'd like to share?

I don't know if breeders can still do that or not. Possibly they can because theirs would be called a business rather than just pets. And yes, they do have a lot of strays and people are protesting because so many of them are being destroyed.

I don't know if they do or not. That would help. However, should poor people be banned from dog ownership if they can't afford to have it taken care of that way? I don't know, I'm just asking for opinions.

The ones that complain about to many animals being destoryed,Don't they relaize that to many aniamls cause problems in its self? I think spaying and neutering laws should be put in affect as well. Do you know if China has nay of them?

I know the stray dog problem is a sad one. In Tennessee there were lots of stray dogs. We were always seeing dogs smashed on the highways. I guess putting them to sleep is preferable to that.

I agree that most people have no need for more than 1 dog. I have friends that used to have 4 dogs, 13 cats, and 2 large iguanas, and they kept them all inside their small home. It was more like going to a zoo than a home. Thankfully they have let attrition take its toll in lowering the population. No one needs all those pets.

Yes, that's what they're doing. Sad isn't it.

I don't think it sounds too cool for the poor dogs, do you? Thanks for your response.

It must be very difficult living in China. So many people live in poverty, and they're all under such strict regulations from their government. I know they have a lot of people, but how can people keep going when all they do is work and have nothing, and now, on top of everything else, the government is wanting to take their dog away from them. People need a few bright spots in their lives, don't they?

I know there are many reasons why China does the things it does, but that doesn't mean I'd like to live under those conditions they impose. I'm glad to be an American.

I wish you would have added more to your response to help the rest of us understand what's going on so that your government feels this ban is necessary. After all, you're the expert here! :O)
