Hey there, dog lovers! 🐕 If you're in China and own a banned dog breed, listen up! China's Supreme People's Court just dropped some important news on Monday. They shared examples where pets have harmed humans and ruled that owners of banned dogs are fully responsible for any damage, no matter what. 😲
In one eye-opening case, a 7-year-old kiddo was scratched on the face while teasing a neighbor's Alaskan Malamute in August 2019. Even though the child approached the dog first, the court said the owner had to take full responsibility because the dog was a fierce breed that's banned in the city. Talk about strict rules! 😮
These cases are set to guide other courts when handling similar situations, helping to iron out any legal wrinkles.
Remember, according to China's animal epidemic prevention law, if you have a dog, you gotta vaccinate them and use tags and leashes when you take them out for a walk. Plus, each city has its own list of dog breeds that are a no-go. So make sure your furry friend is allowed! 🐾
Stay safe and keep those tails wagging! ❤️
