Comments on: Chinese man beats dog to death, ignoring onlookers’ pleas http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/chinese-man-beats-dog/ Blogging from Behind the Great Wall Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:05:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Chip http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/chinese-man-beats-dog/#comment-3795 Chip Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:51:46 +0000 http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/chinese-man-beats-dog/#comment-3795 The truly sad thing about this, is the fact that there are absolutely no laws about protecting animals here in China. A person could take a puppy and beat it to death at Tiananmen, or the subway, or any other large public gathering, and would not be punished。 They might be arrested for disturbing the peace, or something like that, but so long as the animal killed isn't an endangered species, there are no legal repurcussions for that kind of cruelty. Atleast I THINK that's what the law is, perhaps Chinalawblog could correct me? The truly sad thing about this, is the fact that there are absolutely no laws about protecting animals here in China.

But yes, the track record is less than stellar, especially given the dog-round-up last year, when unofficial cops in certain cities were beating stray dogs with sticks-- all in an effort to crack down on rabies.

First I've seen the video though. There may be no laws, but people know who the guard is, including the University & the city. If he hasn't been fired, the bad press alone will take care of his employment opportunities for awhile. The story has been going on for a bit now. First I’ve seen the video though.
