Hangzhou Municipal Commission of urban management announced that from November 15 to the end of December, it will carry out special rectification of dogs in accordance with the provisions of Hangzhou city on restricting dog breeding, focusing on the investigation and punishment of illegal dog breeding and irregular dog walking. Major cities will usher in the most stringent dog regulations in the history. In the future, pet dogs must be tethered!
Rights are accompanied by responsibilities. Dog breeding, like all civil rights related to public life, has boundaries and shall not infringe upon the interests of others or the public. It's hard to be self-conscious in social governance. There must be rules. All dog diseases are human diseases. What we treat is not dogs, but people. These principles are completely correct, but social governance is like embroidery. The principle is only the principle. It takes skill and patience to embroider a good work.
Whether it's the dog breeders in Hangzhou, the well-known netizens, or some media interpretations, all regard these old rules as "new rules", which is an intriguing "misunderstanding". Is it the first time for Wuhan and Hangzhou to introduce regulations on dog breeding? No Is it allowed not to tie the dog rope in the previous dog keeping regulations? Not allow. Is it allowed not to apply for dog license in the previous dog keeping regulations? May not. Is there no penalty in the previous dog regulations? Yes. In 2005, Wuhan dog breeding regulations was issued, but in 2014, it was reported that it was difficult to implement the regulations. The main reason was that the advice had no effect, so we had to give up. However, there are penalties in the regulations on dog keeping in Wuhan. Can you automatically guarantee that the regulations on dog keeping in Wuhan, which has been idling for 13 years, will not be idling? If we don't go deep into what causes the ineffective implementation of the original provisions, will the purpose of the new provisions really work?
The regulations of Hangzhou on restricting dog breeding was promulgated and implemented in 1996, during which three amendments were made in 1997, 2002 and 2004. At present, this text is the version 14 years ago. However, some clauses that have aroused strong repercussions in the special renovation, such as' no dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. ', "no large dogs allowed to go out of the house" and "Chinese garden dogs are forbidden to keep dogs", are called by some as' the strictest in history', but they have clearly existed for at least 14 years. This is the opposite of one thing: without the continuous strictness of law enforcement, the pursuit of the so-called "strictest law in history" cannot be relied on. Why are there so many disputes caused by uncivilized dog raising? Why didn't we start special treatment until there was a serious violent conflict? Social governance is about long-term governance and long-term stability, but why do we see more often raids?
Of course, it's better to act than not. No matter what happened before, it's time to start to control it. It's time to mend it. However, there are many unreasonable or untimely regulations in the management of idling for more than ten years. For example, an old man in Hangzhou didn't know to apply for a dog license after he had kept a dog for several years. Now he knows to do it again, but he's rejected. The reason is that he keeps a bunch of breed dogs, which are classified as "Chinese garden dogs", which are forbidden dogs. The old man is confused. His dog is not big, less than 25 cm tall. From the news video, it looks a bit like a short legged Kogi. What is a Chinese garden dog? In fact, there is no clear dog standard called "Chinese garden dog". In the past, it used to refer to native dogs and grass dogs produced in various parts of China. Later, those cross breed dogs and hybrid dogs that can't see the blood line are collectively referred to as Chinese garden dogs. If there is no standard, it will cause confusion and expand the discretion of the clerks. However, the "Chinese garden dog" can contain many hybrid dogs, which will perplex many people who want to legally keep dogs. At that time, most of the people who set up this item didn't understand dogs and probably didn't ask for professional advice. However, when Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places set up the regulations on the management of dog breeding, they did not regard "Chinese garden dog" as the same breed and forbid it all at once.
There are also restrictions on dog walking time, as well as the regulations on forbidding large dogs to go out, which need to be discussed. It has nothing to do with the time of running a dog. If you don't collect dog excrement, tie dog rope or immunize the dog, you will still have uncivilized dog keeping, while civilized dog owners can walk the dog during the day without affecting others. If large dogs are not allowed to be raised, there is no question whether they can go out. If you are allowed to raise, you should be allowed to go out. Compared with small dogs, large dogs have a stronger demand for going out activities, which is the nature of dogs. Even if they don't go out normally, what about going out to see a doctor? What's more, it's unscientific to distinguish whether a dog's temperament is gentle or not by the size of the dog. Guide dogs often choose Labrador, which is listed as a large dog. The reason why walking a dog can affect others is not because of walking the dog itself, but because it doesn't take the rope and don't take the dog's excrement. If it doesn't take the rope and don't take the dog's excrement can be standardized, many disputes can be eliminated, and if it doesn't take the rope and don't take the dog's excrement, it won't be punished, so what's the meaning of only stipulating the dog walking time?
Unreasonable regulations, years of idling, coupled with sudden 'severe beating', may result in the consequence that those who do not want to behave simply throw away the dog, wait for the limelight to change another one, and the real sufferings are those who have behaved themselves. The law originally protects the good and punishes the bad, so we should avoid the result of social governance from running counter to each other. Once the number of stray dogs is increased due to "severe beating", the pressure on urban residents to take care of stray dogs will be doubled. However, the public services in this link have not been mature all over the country. Even in the first tier cities, they are lack of both human and financial resources and scientific and advanced management means. As soon as there is violence to kill dogs in public places, it is inevitable that there will be public opinion agitation again.
Some people think that the more strict the management regulations are, the better. Anyway, it is the dog owners who suffer and the people who do not keep dogs who are protected. The biggest problem of this logic lies in how to divide people. This idea is to divide people into dog owners and non dog owners, and then to divide all dog owners into the opposite. But the real division should be concrete behavior civilization or not. Good management regulations are to punish the evil and promote the good to the maximum extent, while bad management regulations are to create group division in the crowd.
Like many social contradictions, uncivilized dog breeding needs long-term social governance. The key lies in sustainability, rather than "cutting off chaos with a sharp knife" in turbulent times.
