I took pictures of people walking dogs in Shanghai, because I knew that in my grandfather's day, pets were unthinkable. People were starving, so giving food to an animal that didn't work was wasteful.
Now I find out that there are still rules. You can't have a dog taller than 14 inches, and only one dog per family.
Since I don't like dogs, I'm totally ok with those rules. But I can see why people would want freedom. And I can see why the nation with a population problem would restrict dog population, too.

When I was there, people were in an uproar about the recent slaughtering of any pet dogs in sight because of a rabies scare.
