Beijing's One-Dog Policy
I swear I'm not making this up:
Beijing issues '1 dog' per family rule
BEIJING - First it was one child. Now authorities say Beijing families will be allowed only one dog.
The restriction is part of efforts to stamp out rabies, state media said Wednesday. It follows a campaign in August in which thousands of dogs were killed in order to fight the disease.
China's capital will institute a "one dog" policy for each household in nine areas, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
"Only one pet dog is allowed per household in the zones, and dangerous and large dogs will be banned. Anyone keeping an unlicensed dog will face prosecution," Xinhua said.
