In the process of fasting wild animals in an all-round way, some people are suspected of carrying "private goods" and regard the behavior of fasting cats and dogs as local laws. For example, a city's legislation to ban cats and dogs will take effect on May 1 2020, thus becoming the first city in Chinese mainland to ban cats and dogs.
As early as 1950s, the Pearl of the Orient, which is adjacent to a certain city, legislated against dog meat and cat meat. According to the local Cats and Dogs Ordinance, people who slaughter cats and dogs for food can be fined up to HK$ 5,000 and imprisoned for six months. Any person who violates the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance during slaughter is liable to a maximum fine of HK$ 200,000 and imprisonment for three years. By 2000, the phenomenon of eating fragrant meat (dog meat) was almost extinct in the local area.
On 20 10, the mainland tried to enact the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Law (expert opinion draft), proposing that those who illegally eat and sell dogs and cats should be fined less than 5,000 yuan, detained for less than 15 days, and ordered to make a statement of repentance; Units and organizations were fined 6,543,800 yuan and 500,000 yuan.
Due to the differences among "flower farmers" in nationality, religion and living habits, the above legislation has caused great controversy.
People from the Oriental Pearl Animal Protection Association hope that this day will come soon in the mainland (the government has issued laws and regulations such as animal protection regulations, which explicitly prohibit raising dogs).
Recently, the representative of the port area suggested a total ban on keeping cats and dogs. The representative also suggested that cats and dogs should be defined as animal companions, not personal property, and the relevant penalties should be greatly increased to crack down on the crime of stealing cats and dogs.
In April, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Draft for Comment), which is a "white list" to guide animal breeding, and clearly excludes dogs.
Due to historical and cultural differences, different regions and countries have completely different attitudes and concepts about "eating dog meat". Most western countries regard eating dog meat as taboo, but some westerners support the custom of eating dog meat in other countries.
In view of the problems of uncivilized dog-keeping, theft and poisoning the industrial chain of cats and dogs, some representatives of the highest authority put forward suggestions on formulating the Law on the Protection and Management of Companion Animals: First, the owners of cats and dogs are required to take responsibility and severely punish uncivilized dog-keeping; The second is to prohibit all people from abusing and eating cats and dogs; The third is to control the generation of stray animals from the source and establish a rescue system.
As the representative of the supreme power, his speech has immunity. Whether it will legislate according to its suggestion depends on whether it is urgent to legislate.
In the real society, it is not easy to ask the owners of cats and dogs (pet owners) to take responsibility. First, people's quality is uneven, even if there are legal constraints, it is difficult for some people not to abandon cats and dogs, and it is difficult for some people to raise dogs in a civilized way; Second, not everyone's economic conditions are stable. It can't be said that people with poor economic conditions can't have cats and dogs. When these people have problems in their own lives, they cannot be kidnapped morally, nor can they be forced not to abandon cats and dogs. Third, the idea of establishing a rescue system is staggering. "Flower farmers" are still developing countries, and they are not rich enough to help stray cats and dogs. Besides, why does everyone have to pay for the dog owner's misconduct? Fourth, there is a great difference between urban and rural areas, and rural areas cannot be required to live a "petty bourgeoisie" life in cities; Fifth, many ethnic groups eat dog meat. For example, some ethnic minorities and Koreans in Guizhou. You let others change their national habits to accommodate you?
To sum up, it is not easy to make a law to protect cats and dogs.
In all fairness, many people who eat dog meat are "gardeners", and there are also industries that specialize in breeding meat dogs, forming a certain industrial chain. Some netizens said that there are no enterprises that breed meat dogs, and some netizens said that online inquiries can show that there are many enterprises that breed meat dogs.
Some netizens said that it is impossible to get rabies vaccine after eating dogs, and it is impossible to pass quarantine. In rural areas, people may not be so particular about hitting a dog. Just like killing pigs for personal use, you don't have to go to quarantine.
It is worth pointing out that not all pet dog owners refuse to eat dog meat; People who don't like pet dogs also refuse to eat dog meat.
Most people should be consulted when making laws. When we make laws against cats and dogs, we will definitely ask for your opinions first.
