Why is feasible to sue Hangzhong Goverment

 

 

 

Below

is a message copied from MITBBS:

 

China

small animal protection association (the one by Mao's temporary

teacher, professor Lu), is trying to organize a lawsuit against Hanzhong

government, possibly via victimized dog owners who followed government's

instruction to register their dogs for rabies vaccine. The registration

turned out to be a "Yangmou", a trap, which gives the government the

lead to

break into their homes and slaughter their dogs weeks later. If successful,

if may deter other local governments from following suit in the future.

 

 

 

 

is it possible to win ? we dont have laws regarding this in china bah?

 

 

 

 

Yes, it is possible. The lawsuit will emphasize the violation of the rights

of the owners whose dogs got botched. As certificate/permit holder who paid

government administration fee, and as an owner who paid government to have

their dogs vaccined, they have to right to ask for compensation. The owner 0A

is suffered in both losing of his personal property and being traumatized

emotionally by the depriving of his companion which he/she may be deeply

emotionally attached. We have now new "administrative laws" which

allow

local government to be sued by certain provisions. Also, the good thing is,

this lawsuit is not suing government for directly violating human rights,

which will be a way more sensitive issue. The last thing the local communist

cadres want is an drama which may jeopardize the stability of their ruling

and thus the security of their political promotion. Even if the lawsuit is

lost, the other "cadres" will have to be much more hesitant to do

similar

things cuz the unnecessary risk involved with their career.

P.S.

Some of the local humane societies (i.e. Du Yufeng fr Guangyuan) have collected

some victimized owners who had their dogs vaccined in response to government's

call. They are of course willing to testify in court.
