City should raise oversight on dog owners as well as numbers

ACCORDING TO A RECENTLY PASSED REGULATION, which will come into force on June 1, no household in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, South China, may raise more than one dog. Comments:

Many argue that a citizen has the right to make dog companions. But there are already more than 70,000 dogs in Zhuhai, and incidents such as dogs attacking children or the nuisance of dog excrement stir trouble even conflicts. When raising a dog, one must respect other people's interests; that the regulation has been passed at the local legislature means residents support it.
