| The person who abducted your friend's dog at 4am may not be the same killer as those sponsored by the government. They live in the same society. In a sense, random killers for dog meat are encouraged by the government's stand on dogs. Despite a long history of eating dogs, the new policy by the government did not go through without any negative reactions. One noticeable campaign was launched on November 11, 2006, when a group of dog lovers gathered spontaneously in the front gate of the Beijing Zoo. It lasted three hours before armed police drove people away. However, a wide acceptance of dogs, esp. in cities, still has a long way go. Killing the loved ones in front of a family is one of the dark sides of human nature. Stories in this manner are constantly being renewed. A recent one was by Steven D. Green and his fellow US soldiers on March 12, 2006, in the rape and murder of a young Iraqi woman and her family in Mahmoudiya, 20 miles south of Baghdad. |
