Irresponsible dog owners to face fines

Dog owners in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, will be punished if their pets are found without registration or in violation of management rules, according to the city's police authority.

Public security, urban management, and industrial and commercial authorities in the city have launched a campaign against irresponsible dog ownership. The campaign, which is expected to last until the end of this year, aims to further regulate dog owners.

According to the police, owners will be warned if their pets are not registered, found without leads, or if their enclosures are not cleaned.
