If this is Year of the Dog, then Heaven Help Us

Something very bad is going on - globally. The Middle East continues to dominate the headlines and seems utterly unresolvable.

Global warming is heating us all up so we've got drought-like conditions, killing off the wildlife. And now news reaches me from China that 50,000 dogs have been "clubbed, hanged or electrocuted ... in a week-long crackdown on rabies". http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,,1834883,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=12

That's 50,000 dogs killed. In a week! Just one week. Apparently, it's all down to lack of responsible ownership but rather than punish the guilty, everyone gets it in the neck. Literally. There were reports of innocent dog owners walking their pets and then being pounced upon by the authorities, which then clubbed their pooch to death - in front of them.

People - wake up! This is no way to treat the planet and everyone (human and animal) on it. It's like we're going into global meltdown.

Quite frankly, if this is Year of the Dog, I reckon it's game over.

Woof Woof
