消息人士昨天表示，***主席看过狗主们递交的诉状后，已介入叫停全国开展的杀狗行动。

一位请愿者表示，***的首席秘书告诉她，主席已批阅了她的两份请愿书。这些请愿书有六万多人签名，呼吁结束杀狗行动。她表示，***对这些投诉及国际媒体的相关报道颇感不悦，已于上月末下令叫停这一行动。

一位政府官员证实，***在看过这些信后已下令停止杀狗。

自八月份灭犬运动开始以来，已有数万只狗被捕杀。当局坚持声称，这对预防狂犬病例上升十分重要。

在北京，当局于十月份开始推行所谓的‘文明养犬’活动，将于本月中旬结束。这一活动禁止在市区养高于35厘米的狗，而且每户家庭只限养一只宠物狗。

Hu halts dog cull after reading petitions

President Hu Jintao has intervened to end a national crackdown on dogs after reading complaints sent to him from dog owners, sources said yesterday.

One petitioner said Mr Hu's chief secretary had told her the president had read her two petitions, signed by more than 60,000 people, calling for an end to the campaign. She said Mr Hu was unhappy about the complaints and international media coverage of the campaign, and had put a stop to the programme late last month.

A government official confirmed Mr Hu had ordered a halt after reading the letters.

Tens of thousands of dogs have been culled since the eradication campaign began in August. Authorities maintained it was necessary to deal with a rise in the number of rabies cases.

In Beijing, the so-called "civilised dog keeping" campaign began in October and was to have ended in the middle of this month. Under the campaign, dogs taller than 35cm were prohibited from downtown areas and each family was restricted to keeping a single pet dog.

Fines were introduced for owners of dogs that defecated on the street or were found unchained. The move infuriated dog owners. About 500 staged a protest in the capital a month ago against the seizure and killing of the pets.

Beijing authorities announced good results from the campaign on Monday, saying more than 550,000 dogs had been registered and vaccinated against rabies and progress was being made in efforts to find new homes for more than 600 seized or abandoned dogs.

Yu Hongyuan , deputy director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau (PSB), told Xinhua only 180,000 dogs had been registered in the city in 2002.

But the official news agency said experts believed there were about 1 million dogs in the city, which would mean the authorities' job was only half done.
