Due to three people dieing from rabies, a county in southwestern China has killed as many as 50,000 dogs in a government campaign.
"Dogs being walked were taken from their owners and beaten on the spot, the newspaper said. Other killing teams entered villages at night, creating noise to get dogs barking, then honing in and beating them to death.
Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their dogs before the teams were sent in, the report said."

This is so ridiculous and the most selfish approach to a problem like rabies that I've ever heard. If anyone ever touched my Bambie with an ill intent, somebody gonna get hurt real bad.
