Shelter filled with dogs saved from slaughter

To protect the dogs from slaughter, a local businessman who declined to be named paid 60,000 yuan ($9,500) to buy them from the shippers. More than 50,000 yuan has been collected from animal lovers to pay for their care until homes can be found.

More than 20 dogs died from a lack of water and food or from disease during the long trip. On Friday, the rest were moved to the shelter in a suburb 15 kms from downtown for examination and treatment and to protect residents from any diseases the dogs may carry.

"Many of them are suffering from dehydration, malnutrition or infectious diseases, and they are very weak," said Zhao Yue, a veterinarian at the shelter and an associate professor of Yunnan Vocational and Technical College of Agriculture.

Some of the seriously ill dogs were to be taken to the college for further treatment on Sunday afternoon, he said.

Some residents have come to the shelter to adopt a dog. "After all the examinations are completed, healthy dogs will be sent to new families, and we will follow up to make sure that they are treated well," said Yao, the shelter organizer.

"These dogs are lucky to have been saved from slaughter, but many more have been killed and served as food," said Song Jinzhang of the China Small Animal Protection Association.

"We hope the government will hasten the legislation of small-animal protection laws," he said, adding that the world's first animal protection law was passed in England more than 100 years ago.

Song also said that some animal welfare protection organizations have faced severe funding shortages after providing refuge to large numbers of dogs that were rescued from slaughter.

"The government should give some financial support to such organizations," Song said.
