Wei Ta-wei's (魏大惟) Dog Shelter In Changhua County

Too busy to blog anything at all this week, and am still busy over the weekend, but this story, seemingly yet another illustration of the malevolent incompetence of government, caught my eye this afternoon while I was out...
"A man who built 30 mobile doghouses for stray dogs on his own land on Baguashan (八卦山) in Changhua County has been slapped with a notice of illegal construction by the county government..."
If this is not just another case of mindless bureacratic oversight, then it would seem that members of the county government actually believe that they know what is best for Mr Wei and his dogs, which is of course what one would expect from people who work in government.

It is a wicked and stupid conceit.
