Authorities in Shenzhen launched a campaign to eradicate dogs without proper

IDs after two people died from the bites of uncertified canines, the Beijing

Morning Post reported. So far, more than 1,000 dogs have fallen victim to

the citywide drive to get rid of the threat once and for all, AFP cited the

report as saying. The new no-nonsense policies were launched after two

people - one a child - died from rabies after being bitten by stray dogs,

the paper said. More than 10,000 people have visited clinics this year

alone to be vaccinated after dog bites.
