China and the Olympic spirit

You may have heard that the Chinese government, in an attempt to curb rabies and clean up Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, has issued a one-dog-per-family rule, and that one dog cannot be mid- or large-size. So far, the government has rounded up 50,000 dogs, most of them people's pets, and beaten them to death, often in front of their people.

Can anyone say "boycott"?
