Commentator on Guangming Network: Legislating and Regulating Dog Breeding Respects Citizens' Private Rights
2023-10-19
On October 16th, a 2-year-old girl from Chongzhou, Chengdu, Sichuan was bitten by a dog in the community. The police report shows that the girl suffered multiple bites throughout her body, right kidney contusion and laceration, and right rib fracture. After full treatment, the wound debridement surgery has been completed, and her vital signs are stable. After the incident was spread online, it sparked heated discussions. In fact, in recent years, multiple incidents of dog injuries in multiple parts of the country have sparked many discussions on dog management. These discussions boil down to a basic focus on requiring dog owners to implement civilized dog keeping behaviors such as walking and leashing. Related to it, the majority of the multiple incidents of dog injuries that have occurred so far are due to dog owners walking their dogs without tying them down. The reason why walking a dog with a leash is necessary is that many dog owners lack a correct understanding of their dog's habits, and it is also easy to overlook the dog's own characteristics due to love. My dog doesn't bite people, "" big dogs are very gentle, "" dogs are so small that there won't be anything wrong with them. "These words are the most easily heard expressions in people's daily lives; It is also the most common excuse used by some dog owners who do not want to tie the leash when persuading them to walk their dogs and tie the leash in the face of other groups or even fellow dog owners. Many netizens are filled with indignation over the incident of a 2-year-old girl being bitten by a dog. And this also indirectly reflects the dissatisfaction of the public with the current management of dog ownership in society. Although many places continue to call for civilized dog keeping, and some places have introduced corresponding policies that require dogs to be tethered when walking, the social consensus of "dog owners walking dogs tethered" has not yet been achieved in the short term due to the lack of mandatory legal constraints. Regarding the case of a 2-year-old girl being bitten by a dog, some lawyers have stated that in addition to civil liability, if the subsequent injury of the girl meets the corresponding standards, the dog owner involved may be held criminally responsible from the perspective of negligent crime. Negligent crime refers to the act of foreseeing the possibility of harmful consequences, which may occur due to negligence and failure to foresee, or the act of believing that it can be avoided and causing harmful consequences. Negligent crimes may apply to this case, but from a long-term perspective, their legal deterrent effect and warning education significance may be weak. The social events caused by walking a dog without tying the rope are not always so serious, which means that as long as there is no strong constraint and deterrence, the results of case handling may not be able to enhance the civilized awareness of dog owners. The stones of its mountains can be used to attack jade. Many countries have clear dog ownership laws, such as the United States' Dog Act, which directly involves dogs, which stipulates that dog owners will be held accountable for biting or killing others based on the circumstances. Therefore, it is necessary to legislate and regulate pet raising to enforce the requirement of walking dogs and tying ropes. From the current reality, it is indeed necessary. Of course, the legislative regulation of pet raising is not limited to walking dogs and tying ropes. Some cities have not achieved the expected results in overly strict management of dogs, indicating that wisdom is still needed for dog and pet management in general. The ultimate goal of introducing comprehensive legal provisions at the national level will be to jointly respect the private rights of both dog owners and non dog owners. A civilized society should orderly allow pets to coexist with human life. To achieve this goal, social administrators need to constantly practice and rely on detailed, complete, and practical laws and regulations. Author: Guangming Network
