More places have introduced new policies for raising dogs and increased fines
The "most stringent dog keeping order" in Taiyuan is implemented at the same time as the "Regulations of Yinchuan City on the administration of dog keeping". The new rules also clearly stipulate many details in daily life.
For example, the regulations also emphasize that when carrying dogs for outdoor activities, they should be led with a traction rope within 1.5m, and should take the initiative to avoid pedestrians.
In addition, those who carry dogs to take the residential elevator shall avoid the peak use of the elevator and embrace them, or wear mouth covers for the dogs, or put the dogs into dog bags and cages.
In addition to Taiyuan and Yinchuan, many cities across the country have recently introduced or are brewing new local dog raising regulations to regulate dog raising behavior.
For example, since January 1 this year, the revised regulations of Suzhou Municipality on the administration of dog breeding have been officially implemented. The regulations also clearly require that a complete civil actor should tie a traction belt within 1.5 meters when carrying a dog out.
This month, the Standing Committee of Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress also announced the regulations of Guangzhou Municipality on the administration of dog breeding (Revised Draft) and solicited opinions from the society.
Taking stock of the new policies around the country, the common point is to increase the punishment for uncivilized dog breeding. Walking a dog without a rope or keeping a dog illegally will face fines.
In Suzhou, those who fail to carry dogs out in accordance with the regulations shall be ordered by the public security organ to make corrections, and the unit shall be fined not less than 500 yuan but not more than 2000 yuan, and the individual shall be fined not less than 50 yuan but not more than 500 yuan.
The regulations of Guangzhou Municipality on the administration of dog keeping (Revised Draft) proposes that if a dog is carried for outdoor activities without being led by a dog rope, or fails to comply with other provisions of the regulations, resulting in the injury of a dog to others, the public security organ may confiscate the dog and impose a fine of 10000 yuan on the dog keeper.
In addition, according to the new regulations of Taiyuan, if the traction belt is not tied inside and outside the key management areas or the length of the traction belt exceeds 1.2m, the public security organ shall impose a fine of 50 yuan on the spot in accordance with the provisions of the administrative punishment law.
Yinchuan's policy is also clear that the comprehensive law enforcement department of the county (city) and District People's government will give a warning and impose a fine of 50 yuan on the behavior of walking the dog without pulling the rope. If the circumstances are serious, the dogs shall be confiscated.
Abandonment and abuse of dogs should also be prosecuted
It is worth noting that the recent new policies issued by various places not only restrict dog owners' daily walking behavior, but also involve the rights and interests of pet dogs.
In the laws and regulations of many cities, the punishment measures for maltreatment and abandonment of dogs are also clear. Arbitrarily abandoning pet dogs will face fines.
For example, Taiyuan's new regulations expressly prohibit the organization and participation in 'dog fighting' activities. Abandonment or maltreatment of dogs is prohibited.
In terms of punishment measures, those who maltreat dogs shall be ordered by the public security organ to make corrections; Those who refuse to make corrections shall be fined 500 yuan; If a dog is abandoned, the public security organ shall order it to be taken back or sent to the dog detention and inspection institution of the public security organ; Whoever refuses to take back or send the dog to the dog detention and inspection institution of the public security organ shall be fined 500 yuan.
Yinchuan's regulations also clearly stated that dogs should not be abandoned.
In addition, according to regulations, if a dog keeper has a record of abandoning a dog, the perpetrator shall not apply for the registration of a dog license.
More than 30 million people raise dogs in cities and towns to solve the problem of raising dogs
With the development of society, more and more urban families in China begin to raise pet dogs. According to the 2018 white paper on China's pet industry released in September 2018, the number of dog owners in China's cities and towns has reached 33.9 million in 2018.
At the same time, dog injuries caused by uncivilized dog keeping also occur frequently.
In August 2018, a 13-year-old boy in Chengdu was knocked down by a German shepherd dog in the community and his left ear was bitten through; In September 2018, a pregnant woman in Hangzhou was scolded and abused by the dog owner due to a dispute and was pushed to her stomach, resulting in her being sent to hospital in an emergency & hellip& hellip;
According to the data of the Bureau of disease control and prevention of the National Health Commission, 516 cases of rabies and 502 deaths were reported in 2017. Rabies ranks in the forefront of infectious diseases with a large number of deaths.
In order to restrain the uncivilized dog raising behavior, in addition to actively issuing relevant laws and policies, all parts of the country are also taking a variety of measures to solve the problem of urban dog raising.
For example, from November 15 to the end of December 2018, Hangzhou launched a centralized rectification action of "civilized dog keeping" in the whole city, clearly emphasizing the dog keeping behaviors such as the time and place of walking the dog.
Other cities have launched special apps. Jinan public security has developed a dog management app and implemented a dog management credit point system. After 12 points are deducted, the dogs will be confiscated.
In Wuhan, the uncivilized behavior of dog owners will be linked to personal credit. According to local policies, dog owners who have been punished twice will be included in the list of serious dishonesty, and the property will impose a maximum fine of 30000 yuan if they sit idly by.
For tens of millions of dog owners in Chinese cities and towns, the new policies issued everywhere have released a clear signal: if you want to be a good 'excrement shoveling official', you must first abide by the rules.
