The "Mickey Ear" style became popular
"The third group purchase of Mickey ear pliers began, and the price was 300 yuan free shipping!" Recently, a screenshot of the group purchase of "Mickey ear pliers" released by the pet clinic attracted the attention of netizens.
"Mickey Ear", as the name suggests, is to trim the pet's ears into the image of Mickey Mouse "Mickey", under normal circumstances, "Mickey Ear" is a natural ear-standing dog with long ear hair trimmed out of the shape. This cute shape has been favored by many people.
And some merchants have seized this business opportunity, claiming that they can use "Mickey ear pliers" to cut pets' ears into the desired shape. Although this method can make the pet look more "cute", it needs to pay the price of "bloody".
Yu Zhe, a veterinarian at Shanghai Pez Pet Hospital, said: First of all, the relevant surgery is not aimed at medical treatment. At present, there is no evidence in the pet medical community that "ear cutting" will have a positive impact on the health of pets. At the same time, from a moral and ethical point of view, "ear cutting" is a kind of surgery forced on pets based on personal preferences, "which also gives society a relatively bad hint that humans can do whatever they want to animals." ”
In fact, animals are exposed to additional risks when doing these treatments, "one is the risk of infection, the other is the risk of pain, and all sorts of problems that may be faced." Dr. Yu appealed to those who are planning to buy pets not to choose puppies/cats with ears cut, and also urged fellow veterinarians to stop this non-medically necessary cosmetic surgery.
Seller bluntly said "no license"
In addition to the veterinary clinic, some netizens shared that they can buy tools to make "Mickey Ears" for pets at home. Are these online shopping tools reliable?
On December 13, the reporter tried to contact Shuangbai Pet Clinic in Beibei District, Chongqing, which released the "Mickey Ear Pliers" group purchase. According to its WeChat profile, the publisher Liu Bo is a national licensed veterinarian with 17 years of clinical experience in pets.
The reporter communicated with Dr. Liu Bo as a pet store purchaser, and during the conversation, Dr. Liu said that he "did not know the delivery location", and avoided talking about the issue of product production license. Under the reporter's questioning, Dr. Liu admitted that the "Mickey Mouse Ear Forceps" was made by himself in a factory.
The reporter searched on the e-commerce platform with keywords such as "Mickey ear" and "ear cutting tool", and found that the homepage of several stores was hung with "dog ear trimming and ear cutting surgery tools" and other products, the tools were divided into multiple types, a full set of 40 instruments, and the "Mickey ear special ear cutter" was listed separately.
The reporter had a conversation with the customer service of a store called "Shengu Xiaoqi Department Store", and learned that the ear cutting tools sold in the store are also produced in its own factory.
According to the description, the "Mitch ear cutter" is made by heating it to 1,000 degrees on the basis of hemostats and softening it, and then stamping it with a mold. The seller said, "The high temperature in summer is close to 40 degrees, and calcination requires a small thousand degrees, and the sweat on the master's body is the same as rain, which is processed and made in such an environment." ”
When asked whether the ear cutter has a production license, the seller bluntly said "no", "only the certificate of the hemostat before the transformation." ”
In this regard, the reporter consulted Li Weijie, a partner of Shanghai Zhengce Law Firm and a member of the Civil Business Research Committee of the Shanghai Bar Association. Lawyer Li Weijie said that the seller's failure to apply for a veterinary medical device business license is not in line with the current legal provisions.
Pet surgery appliances generally need to apply for a veterinary medical device business license. The veterinary medical device business license refers to the legal qualification certificate for engaging in veterinary medical device business activities in China, which is issued by the animal health supervision agency. According to the provisions of the Animal Epidemic Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs, enterprises engaged in the operation of veterinary medical devices must obtain the corresponding business license before they can engage in business activities.
