I am in China too. In Shenzhen. I think the author is very unkind to the Bao An. I am 100% sure they would treat me the same if there is a similar lockdown here, but I imagine they are under a lot of pressure.

My hearts go out to them though. I have a dog here in China, and I am very afraid of what will happen to her if an outbreak like this hits my area. And how can you even have a dog if you can't leave a building for two weeks? What a nightmare.

Even worse, they do lockdown in place and without warning. So if you were at work, and your dog was home, then your dog would stave alone.

I really don't understand why they don't at least let people stuck at work go home, really crazy situation.

Is gf's dad work in another city or does the lockdown in place prevent movement from any buildings to get back home even if close apart?

it might be case by case but annecdotaly there's been a lot of 'lock everyone up in an office building when a case shows up' stuff

Shanghai is big enough that being in the same city can still be far away, especially when no metro etc is running.

I wish you never get to find this out, because I firmly believe you're wrong.

There was one in Shenzhen just last Month, but it was confined to a few region and lifted quite soon.

Start stocking up for youself and your dog, friend. At least a few months worth of nonperishable food. As fast as omicron spreads it's only a matter of time.

Be careful - they are killing peoples dogs that test positive for covid

They are killing the pets if the owners test for covid.

As usual - no sources, no real article to speak of, just a fuel for shills.

Ohhh I see, it's just fake news from people in China, they computer generated all the videos in the last week showing culling of animals. Got it, don't trust information coming from China.

No, it’s the selection of facts that makes it a shill outlet. China is twice the size of Europe, I’m pretty sure someone in Europe also killed a dog once. It’s just that there aren’t hundreds of millions of US money spent every year on anti-European propaganda.
