Question

When a dog bites a man it usually doesn't make news. However this saying changed when Beijing and several other Chinese cities announced the "Civilized Dog Raising" campaign (文明养犬活动)in November.

The government will require Beijingers to get licenses for their dogs and will enforce the one-dog one-family policy. Police say the "one-dog policy" is aimed at reducing the number of dog bites and lowering the risk of rabies (狂犬病). According to the Ministry of Health rabies has become the top infectious (传染的) disease in China. Dangerous dogs and dogs taller than 35 centimeters such as Great Danes (丹麦种大狗) have been banned from urban areas.

Pet owners are also required to clean up their dog's droppings and make sure dogs are leashed (拴狗链) especially in public areas. Some public areas such as banks are closed to dogs entirely.

Dogs are regarded as man's best friend and the history of raising dogs can be traced back to the stone age. It therefore seems sad that dogs are unwelcome in Beijing . But it is not the case that Beijingers dislike dogs. Actually there are many dog lovers in Beijing . The city now has more than 550 000 registered dogs up 20 percent from the previous year.

The problem is actually about living space. Different from many Westerners most Beijingers live in urban apartment buildings not houses in the suburbs. There is very limited open space for walking dogs. The barking the waste and unleashed dogs in buildings elevators and places people gather can cause fear fights and frustration.

Beijing is not the only city to have a dog problem. Paris London New York and Vienna all face similar challenges and have common rules for dogs and their owners.
