Shanghai Announces ‘One-Dog Policy’

Over 600,000 unlicensed dogs are set to become illegal when Shanghai announces a one-dog policy in May.

Over 600,000 unlicensed dogs are set to become illegal when Shanghai announces a one-dog policy in May. A biting epidemic led to the upcoming regulation. With approximately 140,000 bite reports attributed to unlicensed canines, the move was debated long and hard. Dog owners will now have to register their pets with the authorities, or they will have to give their pets away. The police say they expect to adopt a number of outlawed dogs. In addition, the city is also banning attack dogs as pets. So under the new rules, British bulldogs are among those that will not be welcome here.
