On the 17th, a user of a social platform posted a video of dog abuse. In the video, a corgi is placed in a washing machine filled with water, following the rotation of the machine, constantly rotating and struggling, and one arm constantly pressing the corgi's head into the water. The user also wrote: "One day of dog abuse, the teeth were pulled out and the eyes were bleeding. ”
After the video attracted attention, it was reported that the user of the social platform was a sophomore student of Shangqiu College.
On the afternoon of the 20th, a staff member of Shangqiu College responded that the school has launched an investigation into this matter and called the police to deal with it, and it is not sure whether it is a student of the university.
A staff member of the Liang Park Platform Police Station in Shangqiu City told the Beijing News reporter that the school has received an alarm, and the school has also set up an investigation team to investigate the matter, because there is no accurate information, the police can not file a case for the time being, "Now during the epidemic period, the students of Shangqiu College have not returned to school, so this matter is not sure whether it occurred in the school of Shangqiu College, nor is it sure whether it happened in the near future." ”
The staff of a folk animal rescue station in Shangqiu said that at present, the rescue station and some caring people are looking for and fighting to rescue the abused corgi, "but now Shangqiu is in the epidemic period, the communities and Shangqiu College are in a closed state, it is very difficult to find, and it is not sure whether this corgi is still alive." ”
Mr. An Xiang, director of Beijing Dexiang Law Firm and deputy director of the Civil Law Professional Committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association, said that at present, there is still a lack of legislation on animal protection in China, and there is no clear legal provision to combat animal cruelty. However, some places will have corresponding management regulations, such as Beijing, Shanghai and other places in the dog management regulations will explicitly prohibit the abuse of dogs.
In response to the animal abusers in this incident, An Xiang believes that the extreme content of bloody violence published by users of social platforms on the Internet is suspected of disrupting social order, and according to the relevant provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, its behavior has constituted picking quarrels and provoking troubles. ”
"In terms of adverse effects and citizens' feelings, animal cruelty should have specific legal provisions. I suggest that this act be included in the scope of punishment under the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, and effectively combat animal cruelty in a clear legal form. An Xiang said.
