Study on Urban Dog Management Strategies from Perspective of Public Safety Governance
In recent years,with the rapid increase of dog keepers in urban areas,the number of dogs in cities has become saturated.As the issues associated with urban dog-keeping become more prominent,many phenomena affecting the city's appearance and public safety have come to the fore.These include"incidents of varying severity caused by dog bites,""uncivilized behaviors in dog-keeping,""stray dogs devoid of shelters and their unregulated breeding,""the spread of dog diseases,"and"illegal activities such as slaughtering dogs or producing,selling dog meat and dog meat products."In order to maintain social order and public safety,this paper advocates for the establishment of a unified dog management regulation at the national level,and the enhancement of relevant legislation and management regulations.Furthermore,the responsibilities of various management authorities should be clarified,and a"multi-centered,chain-styled"governance model should be devised,with emphasis on the supervision by grassroots self-governing organizations.Empowered by new technologies,an intelligent dog management service system needs to be instituted,and the approach of"Trap-Neuter-Return"(TNR)for managing stray dogs should be piloted and popularized,thereby elevating the level of public safety governance and facilitating the completion of a robust public safety governance system.It is anticipated that these suggestions will be conducive to managing urban dogs and maintaining the public order.
