Stray dogs on increase in Zhengzhou

[snopes]

"Fewer than one out of 100 dogs are licensed in Zhengzhou," Ye Hong, head of the Pet Protection Society of Zhengzhou, told China Daily.

Police take away unlicensed dogs and send them to the zoo. If no one claims them within a week, rumor has it "they are fed to the lions and tigers".

"This may not be true, but the police have never made public how they deal with the dogs," Ye said.
