Resolution in Pakistan to Export Stray Dogs to China, Philippines | |||
2019-08-23 | |||
[TheNews] KARACHI: Expressing concerns over the recent surge in cases of rabies in the country, a recommendation entailing export of stray dogs to China and Philippines was presented before the Sindh Assembly by Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani. No Shit ! The recommendation came in light of a resolution filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) legislator Dr Seema Zia based on the alarming rise of rabies' cases in the country which was unanimously approved by the provincial members of the government and opposition. Zia stated there exists a deficit of anti-rabies vaccines in hospitals. PTI member Zaman highlighted how Sindh government had earlier vowed to introduce vaccines to curb the reproduction of dogs, however none of that has been implemented as yet.
Taking the resolution of exporting dogs to China and Philippines into consideration, Provincial Minister of Sindh for Health Dr. Azra Pechuho said that the number of rabies cases reported in the entire province is 59, and that the government is already working on introducing anti-rabies vaccines.

#3 To a communist, not much apparently. The thousands of dogs eaten in China everyday are not all vaccinated. Because the major cities can insist on the detail, but in the interior, and suburbs, where's the control ? I'm sure they ingest a rabid or diseased one now and then. I think this is still in the proposal stage though, and when the guys from China hear it they may just turn red and storm out the room. I'll bet even they won't eat a paki dog. |

#2 I'm by no means an animal control expert, but this strikes me as an incredibly stupid idea. So, they start rounding up stray dogs for transport to China. Before they can be shipped, they will need to be contained somehow. If even one one of those dogs is rabid, it will infect other dogs, who will go on to infect others. By the time they reach China, most of the dogs will be rabid. What happens if you eat a rabid dog? |
