Wuhan revised the dog raising regulations: maximum fine of 500 yuan is required to walk dogs without leash, and property management needs to cooperate with supervision

Recently, Wuhan City revised the "Wuhan Dog Riding Management Regulations", and the new regulations have made clear provisions on not leashing and property supervision responsibilities, which has aroused widespread attention from the society. The following are popular discussions on this topic and structured data sorting on the Internet in the past 10 days.

1. Main contents of the new regulations

2. Hot topics across the Internet

1.Supporters' opinions: Most netizens believe that the new regulations are conducive to regulating dog raising behavior and reducing incidents of dog injuries. Data shows that in 2022, there were more than 1,200 dog injuries in Wuhan, of which 70% were related to the failure to leash.

2.Opponents are concerned: Some dog owners believe that the fine is too high and the definition of property responsibilities is not clear enough. A vote initiated by pet blogger "Pet Diary" shows that 35% of participants believe that the 500 yuan fine is too heavy.

3.Difficulties in execution: Experts pointed out that the implementation of the regulations requires solving three problems:

• Insufficient law enforcement
• It's difficult to obtain evidence
• Some citizens have low cooperation

3. Comparison data of other cities

4. Expert advice

1. Professor Li from China University of Political Science and Law suggested: "Dog raising credit files should be established and those who violate the rules multiple times should be included in the list of dishonest debt."

2. Wuhan Small Animal Protection Association proposed: "It is necessary to build more pet activity space to reduce leash-free behavior from the source."

3. Property Industry Association reminds: "Property companies need to clarify the boundaries of rights and responsibilities to avoid falling into management disputes."

5. Implementation Outlook

The new regulations will be officially implemented on November 1, 2023. The Wuhan Municipal Public Security Department stated that it will carry out a three-month publicity period and then strictly enforce the law. At the same time, the "Wuhan Smart Dog Raising" APP will be developed to facilitate citizens to register and report violations.

According to statistics, there are currently about 150,000 registered dogs in Wuhan, and the actual number may exceed 300,000. The effectiveness of the implementation of the new regulations will depend on the intensity of law enforcement and the degree of cooperation among citizens. We will also continue to pay attention to subsequent development.
