A police university in Liaoning, northeast China, has got a lot of attention for the unusual way it finds new homes for its failed police dogs. Instead of getting people to adopt them, it's selling the dogs in an online auction at a starting price of about $30.
The most recent auction of 54 dogs was on July 7. Most of them failed to become police dogs because they are cowardly, reports the South China Morning Post.
Along with other information about them, the reasons the dogs failed were published on the official website of the Criminal Investigation Police University of China, which manages the police dog school.
Some of the dogs, which were mostly German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, were described as too old or too small. Other reasons included having ears that were soft or wouldn't stand up, not being strong enough, or not biting when told to by their trainers, reported CNN and Vice.
Videos of the dogs were shown before the auction began and the winners could get their dogs on the same day. The new owners also had to sign a document saying they would not sell or give away the dogs, and would take good care of them, CNN reported.
The announcement of the July 7 auction got 160 million views on the Chinese social media site Weibo, according to CNN.
Many joked that they could sympathize with the dogs as they know what it's like to be unable to meet high standards.
Summary
中國東北遼寧省的一所警察大學，因為替不合格的警犬找新家的方式很特殊，而獲得許多關注。 該學校在線上拍賣會兜售這些小狗，而不是讓人們領養牠們，起標價約30美金。這些未能成為警犬的小狗，主要是因為牠們過於膽小。部分像是德國牧羊犬或比利時牧羊犬這些狗狗，則被描述為太老或是太小隻。其他原因甚至還包含耳朵太軟或豎不起來。《CNN》報導，這些新飼主需要簽署文件，表示他們不會轉賣或轉送這些狗，會妥善照顧牠們。
