Sad news reached us from Shanghai in China. A Corgi was beaten to death by a health worker, because the dog had lived with a human who had become ill with covid-19. The human had been driven off to a care facility and the dog was lose in the street. Apparently, the health worker imagined that the dog could spread covid-19, even though science say there is a very small likelihood that dogs get covid-19 or spread it.
It is a small comfort that many Chinese who have gotten to know about the killing are outraged by it. This may save other dogs in the future, but this dog was still brutally killed. I hope the health worker will have to answer for this horrible deed.
