Commie pigs decide to KILL every dog higher than 35 centimeters in Peking

Dog breeds standing over 35 centimeters, and those of 41 breeds identified as violent, including "collies" will be banned from central areas of the city and some Beijing municipality rural districts, Chinese media reported Friday.

While restrictions on dog size are nothing new in Beijing, the announcement of the new rule, initiated on June 2, will likely mean a new crackdown on dog sizes and breeds in the city and also nearby areas, along with checks for proper licensing.

Bulldogs and collies were specifically identified as "violent" breeds, and both huskies and golden retrievers are considered too large to raise within the the Fifth Ring Road.

We're working on a full list of the breeds so that concerned dog owners can better prepare themselves for this round of checks. If you find it before we do, please post in the Comments section below.

Actually this campaign is different; it seems to be much harsher than anything for years. For the past several years the focus has been on getting people to register their dogs, and many police offices within the 5th ring have registered larger dogs. Now it seems to be about getting medium- and large-sized dogs (anything over 35 cm) out of Beijing even if they have already been legally registered for years. Bounties have been set up; rewarding police officers for each dog he or she deals with, while a hot-line has been set up for people to snitch on their neighbors. There have even been reports on the Chinese blogosphere of a Golden Retriever being killed on the spot, in front of the owner.

The cops were out in force today in Shuangjing. They hit my dog over the head with a pole then stuffed her in a net. I managed to get her out but three of them demanded to see my licenses, which I didn't have on me but went to get as I just finished paying 1500 for the year in dog fees. I was pretty angry because they didn't even ask if I paid instead they just attacked my little dogs and stuck their fingers in my face demanding money. They pulled the old "You are a foreigner and this is China. We can do what we want." After I showed them my licenses and receipt showing I paid the fees they then demanded to see my passport and said in Chinese to each other "He isn't carrying his passport with him, maybe we should take him too." After I went back and showed them my passport they called the PSB to see if I was legally here. All this because I got upset the corrupt cops abused my dog first thing in the morning. No wonder people are leaving China and companies no longer want to invest. Laws mean nothing and authorities hold all foreigners in contempt.

Oh, and Ericj418, just keep your dog close to home for the next few weeks. This crackdown, if it's like the last few years, will last a few weeks, and then the police will wear themselves out, consider they've satisfied the Great Leaders who commanded the crackdown, and forget about the dogs for another year. It's all about show; if the "little people" carrying out the orders from on high "work hard" for a short time to follow the current directive, then the bosses will be satisfied, and everyone can go back to their normal 9-5 desk jobs with the 2-hour lunch break.

It's just something to keep an eye out for every June--all doggie registrations expire in early summer, so June/July is when everybody has to go pay more money to be "legal" and when the police start beating the dogs again.
