In the early morning of April 17, 2024, a woman in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, returned to the community. However, he encountered a large unleashed dog dragging his car. The big long-haired dog ran and barked, so scared the lady that she quickly climbed back into the car and had to ask for help from the security guard. It is reported that this Afghan hound is actually a pet owner of a local family, and it actually has a legal dog license.
Seeing that this hound escaped at will, it was rampant in the community. I couldn't help but feel a pang of worry. What kind of social problems does this reflect? What is more disturbing is what the consequences would be if the dog did hurt people?
A garage encounter caused by an accident
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on April 17. The client, Ms. Jin, had just parked the car and was about to get out of the car and take the child home. I didn't know that I opened the car door. A large dog of large size rushed over and barked incessantly.
"I was so frightened that I closed the door and sat back. The dog kept going around outside the car and I called the security guard. It was only after the security guards came that it finally ran away. Ms. Kim recalled.
The Afghan Hound is a breed of hunting dog that is native to Afghanistan. It is widely loved for its heroic appearance. However, this type of dog tends to have a more docile personality and is more difficult to train. Once out of control, the consequences are unimaginable. Even more worrying is the need for domestic law. This large dog is a banned breed on the mainland.
How exactly does this Afghan hound roam freely in the community?
Property: The chengguan has communicated with the dog owner
According to the property staff, this Afghan hound is indeed the pet of a family in the community.
"The dog owner showed a legitimate dog license, but he forgot to close the door that day. Causing the dog to run out scared the lady. We have contacted the chengguan and they have also communicated with the dog owner. It is required to strengthen control and also publicize civilized dog breeding to the owners of the community. The property staff said.
It seems that this Afghan hound was able to run rampant in the community. It turned out to be because its owner had a legal dog license. But this undoubtedly raises more questions: how can a prohibited breed have a legal dog license? Is there a loophole in the review of the relevant departments?
Death of the Dog: When a dog comes into conflict with a person
The incident not only raises concerns about whether the dog will escape again. Hurting others has also sparked warnings about the prohibition of dog breeds.
Some netizens said, "Afghan hounds are fierce dogs. Even with good training, it is difficult to control it completely. If this dog really bites someone, the consequences are unimaginable. The person concerned should report to the police so that the police can intervene in the matter. "
Another netizen pointed out: "We should reflect on why banned breeds of dogs can legally have dog licenses? Is there a loophole in the relevant review? This not only threatens public safety, but also may cause a series of legal disputes." "
That's true, once the dog really hurts people. Not only will it cause serious personal injury, but it may also lead to complex legal liability determinations. And even if the dog owner has a legal dog license. However, if the dog is still not effectively controlled, the danger still exists.
In addition, this incident also exposed some hidden dangers in society:
- There are loopholes in the review mechanism for banned dog breeds. Legal dog breeding permits for large dog breeds are difficult to ensure public safety. Regulators should further strengthen the review process.
- Lack of awareness of responsibility among pet dog owners. Even if you have legal documents, it doesn't mean that you can really control your dog. Equally important is the ability of the dog owner to control and be responsible.
- Community management is not in place. The property said that it had communicated with the chengguan, but whether it could really prevent such incidents from happening again. Worrying. Communities should develop better pet control measures.
- Public safety awareness needs to be raised urgently. Some citizens are not aware of dangerous dog breeds enough, and they are often overwhelmed when they encounter such accidents.
To sum up, this incident of escape from the community hound has triggered people's deep thinking about social security. We hope that the relevant departments can further improve the review mechanism. Strengthen the control of dangerous dogs. At the same time, it also calls on the whole society to raise safety awareness and jointly maintain community harmony and stability.
Let's stay tuned for the next developments on this issue!
