MORE than 700 dogs have been slaughtered, cremated and buried in two villages in southwest China's Sichuan Province since Saturday after a local resident died of rabies.
The 63-year-old Zhang Dingxiu was bitten by a neighbor's dog in her left leg on April 24. She did not go to the hospital for treatment and began to vomit two days later and died of rabies on Saturday.
According to the rules, all dogs infected with the contagious rabies virus and living within 3 kilometers from where the incident took place should be culled, the West China Metropolis Daily reported today.
The slain dogs were dumped in a big pit, disinfected with lime and cremated before being buried in the ground, the paper said.
Xue Huaijun, a township official, said all the villagers will be vaccinated against rabies.
