Because of their cruelty in bludgeoning to death some 50,000 dogs. Pulling pets away from their owners, making noise in neighborhoods to find get them to bark then killing them. It is supposed to be to keep their rabies problem under control but the problem is so minor and there are so many better ways to solve it.

I am well aware of all of the human rights issues in China. I am also aware that this is a bigger issue than what 'just dogs'. But I didn't ask for your position on the worlds inhumanity. Just if you plan on boycotting them for THIS ISSUE. I assume people are already taking action about their feelings on the human rights issues.

I was not aware of this problem. Guess I'll have to pay a bit more attention to where the products I buy come from. Do you think it'll make a difference in the dog thing? Will they understand that is the reason we're doing it? I'm with you, though.

It is good to care about animals, but the fact that China violates human rights and supports violent countries with weapons, is more important of an issue at this time. Rabies is an easy problem to fix and killing animals is not the only way to fix the issue. China is still a very backwards nation and it has a great amount modernization, it has to grow into. The issue of rabies in dogs is easy to fix, the problem of human suffering under brutal communist rule is harder to address.

I think you need to get your priorities straight. If a decision is made to boycott China (I don't think it will), it should be a response to the violation of human rights of that government (there are numerous cases) and not because of dogs.

Not for this issue.. It had nothing to do with the dogs, it was a political show of force to intimidate the dissenters. Over other humanitarian and possibly enemy military threat, yes.

I have been boycotting China-made and Wal-mart products for quite some time now.

i'm thinking to boycott their products because, in my college search, i have found out that they also have sweatshops in many regions.
and the pay is like $3 per day.
