According to several global news articles that have just come to light since September 10, a district government in the city of Jinan, China, is requiring people to get rid of their pet dogs by September 10, even dogs who are licenced and vaccinated in accordance with legislation. If people do not do so, they have been told they risk having their pets clubbed to death in their own homes. Signs have been posted in the Dayang New District in the city, which read as follows:

"No person is permitted to keep a dog of any kind. Deal with it on your own, or else the committee will organize people to enter your home and club the dog to death right there.”

THE PETITION:
We, the undersigned, request that the district government in the Dayang New District in the city of Jinan, China, IMMEDIATELY cease and desist with their plan to enter the homes of dog owners and take or harm their dogs.
