China toddler mauling prompts crackdown on dogs

Stray, unlicensed, and” large” dogs are the target of a crackdown by Chinese authorities.

However, the action has drawn harsh criticism after reports that canines without users are being rounded up and occasionally put to sleep.

It comes after a violent Rottweiler attack last week that left the nation in shock. The girl was two years old.

The young child had her kidneys ruptured, her ribs broken, and her brain covered in wounds. She is said to be secure.

The mother of the child is seen in the incident’s film primarily putting herself between her child and the dog, but the Rottweiler circles the lady and snatches the kid.

The family makes a valiant effort to keep her daughter alive. Armed with a broom and another sizable stick, an employee and cleaner jump to the scene to help with the rescue.

The Rottweiler is finally chased away.

Its user was taken into custody.

However, after some surprising stories came to light, the assault prompted by the battering has been questioned on social media and by puppy owners.

In one instance, security personnel and a tenant killed both of their dogs after breaking into an office without the tenant’s consent.

A school in Liaoning Province reportedly let go of a security guard after he recently brutally attacked and killed an on-campus dog.

Another incident, which has garnered a lot of attention electronically, involved the death of the little, stray dog after it was captured being net-caught in Chongqing. The dog’s” smiling” appearance has sparked a hashtag on social media with the hashtag # XiaoHuang. The dog allegedly pursued a scholar, according to school authorities.

Chinese superstars have also joined the social media debate, claiming that despite how bad the first attack was, the assault across the nation was not necessary.

There are about 40 million errant dogs in the nation, according to the 2021 China Pet Industry White Paper, and this has been viewed as a problem for some time.

The Rottweiler that attacked the kid in Chongzhou, Sichuan Province, was hardly a stray, though. It was let loose and walked up to the mummy inside their housing complex as she was escorting her child to school.

To pay for the boy’s cure, the family has launched a campaign to solicit donations from the general public.

According to statements made by authorities in the Shandong, Jiangxi, and Hubei Provinces, captured stray dogs may be put down if their landlord could not be located.

To quell the growing protest against what some have referred to as unjustified violence against creatures, the town of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia made its own statement, stating that stray dogs may be rounded up but never killed.

Free ropes are being distributed by local governments in some regions as a means of addressing the issue.

Dogs discovered in the capital without documentation would be impounded, according to an immediate notice from a Beijing voluntary dog rescue group to its supporters. It even advised owners of choice or big dogs who are able to emigrate them to designated boarding services and reminded people to be aware of the designated time for dog walking.

Additionally, the statement urged owners to” have a joint mindset” and refrain from” engaging in disputes with legislation enforcement.”

In China, animal ownership laws differ from one local government area to another, and sometimes they are not strictly enforced.

Solid animal cruelty laws that might provide shelter for pets are also absent from the nation.
