28 Feb 2011 - Most people know of China's one-child policy, but now there is something new cooked up. China's leading metropolis Shanghai has adopted a
one-dog policy, passing a law limiting homes to one dog each as it tries to curb the growing popularity of man's bast friend. The law takes effect on May 15, the China Daily reported earlier this week. Under the law, dog owners must give their pet's puppies to eligible no-dog households or to government approved adoption agencies before the pups reach three months. Anyone currently owning two or more licensed dogs will be allowed to keep them. Official estimates put the pet dog population in Shanghai at 800,000 although only a quarter of that number is registered.
