The vast majority of citizens expressed opposition, and even strongly questioned whether the actions issued by relevant departments were one-size-fits-all. More people are opposed to the government's "one size fits all" approach. "Now that the "Notice" has come down, it means that all dogs have been eliminated. The ugly thing is that they will all be put to death. For dog owners, they are not even given dog licenses. This is very unfair and harmful to life. Disrespectful.

One netizen said: "Although I don't like dogs very much, I still want to be fair: If the government could understand public opinion and think from others' perspective, it would understand that the 'dog ban' is unrealistic. Urban civilization depends on people. "The majority of netizens said that it is normal to open special passages and dog walking parks for dog-owning citizens, and it is a fundamental solution to civilized dog-raising [1] Government response in August. After the dog ban in Jiangmen, Guangdong was revoked on the morning of the 3rd, humanized rules will be formulated for 9 days.

The controversial "dog ban order" refers to the "About Strengthening the Strengthening of Dogs" jointly issued by Jiangmen Municipal Public Security Bureau, Agricultural Bureau, Urban Comprehensive Administration Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and Health Bureau. Notice on Dog Breeding Management in Urban Areas. The Notice clearly states that "the urban area of ??Jiangmen City (including Pengjiang District, Jianghai District, and Xinhui District) is a prohibited dog breeding area," and all types of dogs are not allowed to be raised in the prohibited area. If you need to raise dogs due to special circumstances, you must obtain the approval of the public security department, obtain a "Dog Breeding Permit", and go to the agriculture and animal husbandry department to have the dogs vaccinated before they can be kept (tethered) in captivity. The Notice stipulates that "dogs are prohibited from being kept in all public places and roads in urban areas. Those who keep dogs without approval must deal with them themselves or submit them to the designated agriculture and animal husbandry department before August 10, 2011." The Notice also stipulates that starting from August 26, joint law enforcement officers of Jiangmen City Dog Breeding Management will conduct public inspections in prohibited areas to uniformly collect and kill illegally raised dogs. So, under what special circumstances can we raise a dog? According to the "Notice", those who must store goods worth more than 5 million yuan, or special places such as oil depots, water plants, power plants, dangerous goods warehouses, etc. can apply to the public security department to keep dogs, "but they must be kept in captivity and cannot be let loose", and "Individuals who are currently in the restricted area cannot apply to keep dogs." The promulgation of the Notice has aroused widespread concern among citizens. Some citizens said that the problems exposed by urban dog breeding are difficult to solve, and the introduction of a "dog ban order" will help create a good urban environment. However, there are also citizens, especially dog ??owners, who want to allow legal dog breeding. Ms. Chen, who lives in Xinhui City, told reporters that her family has had dogs for several years. The whole family loves the pet dogs and treats them as family members. Now a "dog ban order" says that they are not allowed to be kept, and their whole family cannot accept it. She couldn't sleep at night these days, thinking about whether to send the dog to a relative's house in the countryside to avoid... Relevant departments revised their management measures to face public doubts from citizens. On the morning of August 3, Jiangmen City made relevant regulations. Staff from five departments met for a long discussion and officially announced the "On Accepting Citizens' Opinions to Improve the City's Management" on the same day. Decision on Dog Management Measures. In this decision, the five departments of Jiangmen City made three preliminary decisions: First, it is strictly prohibited to bring dogs into urban public places such as parks, squares, streets, commercial districts, schools, kindergartens, shopping malls, hotels, stations, and docks; The second is to persuade dogs to be raised in non-prohibited areas when they appear in public places; the third is to regulate dog-raising behavior and reduce the occurrence of incidents that disturb people and hurt people. If a dog hurts a person, the dog owner must bear all the injured person's medical expenses, nutrition expenses, lost work expenses, etc. After the new regulations were promulgated, some people believed that this was actually to allow citizens to keep dogs according to regulations. Some residents who own dogs said that they finally let go of their worries for many days. Why did Jiangmen City issue a strict "dog ban"? In this regard, the explanation given by the relevant departments is because of rabies problems and hygiene issues. According to data provided by the Jiangmen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the problem of dogs hurting people in Jiangmen City has become increasingly prominent in recent years. On the other hand, pet dogs defecate everywhere in public places, and most dog owners do not deal with their pets' feces, which also brings a lot of confusion to urban management. The "dog ban order" was issued in a government order that should have widely solicited public opinion, but was revised. The issues behind the incident are worth pondering. A Weibo survey titled "Jiangmen bans dogs, please have some humanity and your position!" showed that among the 550 people who participated in the vote, 477, accounting for 87%, were firmly opposed to the "dog ban"; only 13 people were in favor. 2, and others expressed neutrality. Most people hope that the government will introduce more humane and operational regulations on dog breeding. Some people think that the current social interests are diversified, and the corresponding social management is becoming more complicated. To introduce a "dog ban", public opinion should also be widely solicited. Wang Xuyang, a senior lawyer at Guangdong Yi Chunqiu Law Firm, said that the problem of urban dog breeding exists not only in Jiangmen, but also across the country, but it is ultimately a "people" issue. , instead of the dog problem, the government should strictly manage dog owners and improve relevant systems instead of banning them.
