On July 9, 2013, the Nanshan Environmental Protection Office stated that the two shelters MUST BE DEMOLISHED as quickly as possible “according to laws” (People'sDaily, 2013), and the 300 dogs currently in shelter will be subject to “bio-safety disposal”. The Environmental Protection Office issued ungrounded accuse that the shelters are too close to the Xili Reservoir, and animal wastes can contaminate the water. It is ironic that while the shelter volunteers endeavor to comply with stringent hygiene standards, factories are running unlicensed, leaving hazardous chemicals such as sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid barrels unattended.
At this time being, we only hold one tiny hope THAT THE SHENZHEN GOVERNMENT COULD STOP FORCED DEMOLITION OF THE TWO SMALL DOG SHELTERS.
