To strengthen the management of dog ownership, protect public health and personal safety, and maintain the city's environment and social order, according to relevant national laws, regulations, and dog management provisions, 22 dog breeds are prohibited in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province in 2024.
The Sichuan Provincial Public Security Bureau will carry out the sheltering and disposal of the 22 prohibited dog breeds within the restricted areas, including the Chinese Rural Dog, also known as the "Tu Gou". Each city's area, including the High-tech Zone (central urban area), is designated as a restricted dog ownership area, with a limit of one dog per household within these zones.
Understanding Restricted Dog Ownership Areas
It's crucial to understand what constitutes a restricted area. In Nanchong, this includes the central urban area and the High-tech Zone. This designation means stricter rules apply to dog ownership, and certain breeds are completely banned. Adhering to these regulations is essential for the well-being of the community and your pet.
Why are Certain Dog Breeds Banned?
The reasons behind banning certain breeds are multifaceted. These breeds are often chosen due to their potential for aggression, large size, or historical association with dog fighting. The aim is to minimize the risk of dog attacks and ensure public safety. It is important to note that not all dogs of these breeds are aggressive, but the potential risk warrants these restrictions.
