China: Dogs clubbed to death

Officials in a northern Chinese city have clubbed 37,500 dogs to death since May to contain an outbreak of rabies amid an online outcry over animal cruelty.

Killing the dogs was necessary to control the epidemic, which has killed 13 people this year in Hanzhong, said an official from the local agriculture department.

Wow, 37 thousand!! that's a lot of dogs... I guess they don't go for neutering, hein?
