China local governments launch crackdown on dogs after child was mauled
Social media posts showed landlords breaking into people’s houses and forcibly taking away their dogs
Local governments across China have launched a crackdown on dogs after a toddler was mauled by a rottweiler earlier this month.
The child was injured while walking with her mother in Chengdu on 16 October, leading authorities to announce they would tighten control of dogs while reiterating the importance of “civilised dog ownership”.
