Disney Accused of Mass Dog Killings

Monday, July 25, 2005

An article published in the Scotsman reports that scores of stray dogs that were congregating around the new Hong Kong Disney have been disappearing. There are rumors that park officials have been rounding up the dogs and euthanizing them in preparation for the park's opening this September.

However, in reading through the article, the accusation it makes seems vague. It points out that packs of stray dogs have been congregating around the construction site because construction workers have been feeding them, and using them as guard dogs. As a result, it created a problem of dogs roaming in packs and terrorizing people.

The article also points out that Disney officials have asked the Chinese government to do something about the dogs, but apparently, little has been done, thus putting Disney in a position of having to deal with it themselves.

I can't help but feel that Disney is being wrongly targeted here. They asked the government to round up the dogs, and apparently the government did little about it. So what is Disney supposed to do, allow packs of wild dogs to attack tourists as they enter Hong Kong Disney? Disney invested a lot of its money to give China a major tourist attraction, and it sounds like China doesn't understand that it owes a debt of gratitude to Disney.

  • Not so fast, I was shocked to find the Sushi restaurant I use to frequent (which has a huge Asian following) was serving dog! I know so, because when I asked our waitress what the "interesting looking" meat was in a patrons dish was, she said in here best broken english... "dog". I reported it to the board of health the next day. And yes it is illegal in the sate of Illinois to serve dogmeat.
