Five stray dogs attacked and bitten 80% of his body area

On May 16, a 1-year-old boy in Huaxi Village, Zhenbeibao Town, Xixia District, Yinchuan City was playing alone in the courtyard outside his home. , was suddenly attacked and bitten by five or six stray dogs and dragged six to seven meters away. The child was bitten on the face and multiple parts of the body.
After the family found out, they immediately sent the child to the Xixia Branch of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital;
After examination, 80% of the child's body and face had large bites and scratches, and both eyelid lacerations , multiple lacerations on the face and face, multiple lacerations on the soft tissues of the body, and tear duct rupture; especially the head and face are the places where rabies virus is most likely to invade and invade most quickly, and it is the highest level of bite exposure.
On the second day of treatment, the child developed a systemic inflammatory reaction, and the functions of multiple organs throughout the body such as the heart and liver were impaired. Many laboratory indicators were dozens or even hundreds of times higher than normal values.
After all-out treatment, he was finally out of danger 2 days later. However, it will take a long time and effort to recover from the facial scars and psychological trauma left by the child later in life.
I hope the child will recover as soon as possible!

There are as many as 200 million stray dogs in the world and official treatment is difficult to implement

According to statistics from the World Health Organization in 2016, in the past 10 years, an average of about 60,000 people died of rabies every year around the world;
Death cases are mainly distributed in Asia and Africa, with India having the largest number, accounting for one-third of the total, and China ranking second with about 2,000 deaths per year.
However, the management of stray dogs in various parts of the country has frequently fallen into a cycle of shelving during normal times → hunting and killing when accidents occur → giving up hunting and killing due to resistance from public opinion → shelving again; managing stray dogs has become a global problem.
Since most stray dogs are left unattended, they are very likely to be infected and carry rabies virus. Once they injure people, the mortality rate is 100%.

Rectify irregular dog-raising behavior and eliminate the breeding of stray dogs from the source

There are three main sources of stray dogs: abandonment, loss, and wild breeding, and the number of the first two determines the latter.
To reduce the number of stray dogs, we need to start at the source: reducing abandoned and lost dogs.
England, France and Germany have done a good job at this point.

Germany is known as a country with “no stray dogs”

As a country that attaches great importance to animal rights, Germany explicitly protected animal rights in its constitution in 2002.
This was the first time that animals were placed on an equal footing with humans and confirmed in the constitution.
If you want to raise a dog in Germany, you must first register and pass the review. The review includes: motivation for raising a dog, experience, home space, and financial status, etc.
All major states also require applicants to obtain a "breeding license"o;, after passing the review or obtaining the license, dog owners still need to apply for an "ID card" for their pet. Each dog will receive a small iron plate engraved with an identity number and hung around its neck to lock its identity. In addition, dog owners must purchase insurance, have regular medical check-ups and pay taxes for their pets.
Germany’s “Animal Protection Law” emphasizes that it is illegal to abandon pet dogs at will. Once discovered, the fine can be up to 90,000 euros (approximately RMB 680,000).
Even if they are unfortunately abandoned, every big city in Germany has conservation associations and animal homes that will take them in, treat them, provide necessary food, etc., and actively Find new owners for them.
Of course, new owners must also pass the above review before they are eligible to adopt abandoned dogs.
In the UK, it is not allowed to sell pets to minors under the age of 15; and abandoning a pet will be punished with cruelty;
Even if the pet is lost due to carelessness by the owner, a fine of 25 pounds (approximately RMB 215) must be paid.
France provides registration, filing and health cards for pet cats and dogs.
The dog has its own identity number, which is tattooed on its body by the veterinarian. Once it gets lost or has an accident, the relevant departments can use the identity number to find and notify the owner.

Currently, China is selectively learning from other countries based on its own national conditions.
For example, Changsha City began to implement the "Changsha City Dog Breeding Management Regulations" on May 1, 2019. It is stipulated that the leash for walking dogs should not exceed 2 meters; strict management Each household in the area is limited to one dog. Dogs should wear smart dog tags and enter dog immunity information, owner information, etc.; the management department can use the dog tag to punish the dog's violations accordingly; in the case of loss, the dog tag can be used to Or electronic chip to locate and recover the dog. If the dog causes harm to others, the owner should bear the corresponding responsibility and compensate. For violations such as abandoning the dog and raising the dog without a license, the owner will be fined 1,000 yuan or the dog will be confiscated.
Citizens can directly download the "68 Pets" APP on their mobile phones, register and log in to apply for a dog license on the homepage, and after the public security agency has reviewed and approved it, they can bring their dog and relevant information there. Receive a dog tag or have a microchip implanted at the selected vaccination point.

Calling for civilized dog breeding and severe punishment for careless abandonment

The frequent incidents of stray dogs injuring people are ultimately caused by human factors.
All localities need to continuously improve the supervision and management system for dog breeding and increase the punishment for abandoned dogs. At the same time, it is hoped that the relevant departmentsDoors can strengthen the management of stray dogs.
At the same time, the editor urges those who want to raise a dog to be responsible for it: get vaccinated on time, apply for a dog license, wear a dog tag, consciously walk the dog on a leash when going out, and have it neutered at the appropriate age; do not abandon it at will. And take care to avoid getting lost.
Controlling the number of stray dogs at the root and preventing dogs from hurting people is the attitude of truly loving dogs; rather than mindlessly resisting the official management of stray dogs.
Once an accident occurs, no one can pay for stray dogs!
