Olympics clean up Chinese style: Inside Beijing's shocking death camp for cats
By SIMON PERRY

Thousands of pet cats in Beijing are being abandoned by their owners and sent to die in secretive government pounds as China mounts an aggressive drive to clean up the capital in preparation for the Olympic Games.

Hundreds of cats a day are being rounded and crammed into cages so small they cannot even turn around.

Then they are trucked to what animal welfare groups describe as death camps on the edges of the city.

The cull comes in the wake of a government campaign warning of the diseases cats carry and ordering residents to help clear the streets of them.

Cat owners, terrified by the disease warning, are dumping their pets in the streets to be picked up by special collection teams.

Paranoia is so intense that six stray cats -including two pregnant females - were beaten to death with sticks by teachers at a Beijing kindergarten, who feared they might pass illnesses to the children.

China's leaders are convinced that animals pose a serious urban health risk and may have contributed to the outbreak of SARS - a deadly respiratory virus - in 2003.

But the crackdown on cats is seen by animal campaigners as just one of a number of extreme measures being taken by communist leaders to ensure that its capital appears clean, green and welcoming during the Olympics.

Factor in the pollution, China's dealings on oil with Sudan and probably PETA going to commit terrorist acts in China due to this story (Eh, okay maybe not), I have a feeling this is going to be one of the worst Olympic games in awhile. At least one thing for sure is that the media is going to be in attack mode right around the games with China's dealing with Sudan.

Jesus, what is it with the Chinese government? It's like they actively try to be assholes.

Pithy 03-09-2008 01:32 PM

I say we destroy china.

We make death camps for other animals to begin with. Why don't we bitch about it?

like killing whales for sports in the faroes island because of tradition.

Unless the Chinese plan to eat those cats (which is very possible), it's not fair to compare this to the Faroe whale hunt. Do I agree with either one? Abso-fucking-lutely not!

So its okay to kill animals to eat, but not to prevent the spread of disease? Yeah, what a dumbass Buu is.

P.S. We do the latter too. All the time.

Animals always kill each other in nature.

So we pretty much assume that with an intense paranoia, China is rounding up every stray cat they find and are clubbing them to death Bam Bam style.

id watch a 3D animated movie with a plot of 4 very different but lovable cats who have been lost by their owners and must find a way to get back to them all while avoiding the SPECIAL COLLECTION TEAM!

ITYTKM 03-09-2008 02:30 PM

FunkMasterGeneral 03-09-2008 02:52 PM

cats in china are just pests, so they treat them like we treat pests in America; kill em as fast as possible.
