DOGS AND BUDDHISM

Dogs, because of their close as
ISOLATION with man through the
ages, have become a sacred sym
Dol in the religion of certain peo-
pies. Buddhists, for instance, be.
(lieve that animals are the rein
carnation of humans who have
sinned while living on earth. This
fact a few years ago saved the
lives of innumerable dogs in Chi
ma. A campaign against stray dogs
was started by the city officials
of Kiangtu and C%hangshu in XII
angsu Province and, because OF
the city fathers orders, the Bud.
dhists became very active in the
dogs behaE.
In these two Chinese cities stray
dogs were collected by Buddhist
worshippers and placed in Ieser-
vations at the outskirts of the city
to prevent the local dog catchers
from impounding and executing
them. Every morning Buddhist
priests preached to the dogs in an
attempt to teach them not to be-
come n%uisances to the community.
