The animal Protection law is gone?

Taipei Times - archives: "Animal rights activists accused government authorities yesterday of allowing widespread animal abuse to occur when strays are rounded up.

The Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST) said that despite the passage of the Animal Protection Law (動物保護法) more than a decade ago, officials are turning a blind eye to cases of stray dogs and cats being denied water, food and proper care.

Nearly 900,000 stray animals have been picked up by local authorities over the past 10 years, EAST said. In the last year alone, 133,000 animals were collected and of this total 96,400 were put to death."
