Authorities in Beijing think it may. Last week they announced a one-dog-per-household law in an effort to eradicate a deadly rabies outbreak by curbing the population. China is not alone: this is just the latest measure governments around the globe have recently taken to cut the number of certain unruly animals...
...troops on the ground meant it was mostly the Pentagon's problem.
