Dog lovers question need for canine crackdown

By Zhang Yangfei | China Daily | Updated: 2019-02-15 07:27

Rising tensions between owners and other members of the public have resulted in many cities harshly enforcing related legislation. Zhang Yangfei reports.

When the clock ticks close to 7 pm, Jia Yilei, from Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, puts a pink waterproof coat on her pet dog, a black Shiba Inu named Hawaii, fixes a leash on her collar and walks her out the door.

This may appear a usual routine for dog lovers, but what makes it different is that Jia is only allowed to walk Hawaii between 7 pm and 7 am. She used to bring the dog with her when she went to buy groceries, but that has not been possible since November, when a campaign to strictly enforce existing regulations started.
