'Rottweiler' took the top ranking of search terms all day yesterday. This is because a CCTV image of a pet dog from a wild dog breed was killed. Rottweiler is fierce and obsessive when attacking other dogs to the point where they are raised with a lot of'fighting'. Because of this, the Animal Protection Act is also classified as a'blind dog who must wear muzzle when going out.

He went up to the Blue House National Petition, and the petitioner insisted, "This is the first time that the owner acted like a second while walking without a muzzle to Rottweiler. If the petitioner's claim is true, the owner does not seem to be able to raise a dog. It is nagging to be punished for violating the Animal Protection Act.

A sad incident occurred when a small dog was bitten in an instant, and even a video was released, and many netizens were raising their voices saying that they would kill the dog right away. There is also an extreme article that says, "You should be euthanized together with the owner."


The number of dog biting accidents in Korea is much higher than expected. According to the data of the fire department, 2,368 people are being transferred to an ambulance by dogs for one year (as of 2018). This means that 6 to 7 people are bitten by dogs and go to the hospital by ambulance every day only in Korea. Even 436 of them were children under 9 years of age. The number of actual dog biting accidents is estimated to be much higher when considering the case of a dog biting accident, but not reporting it, or even considering the dog incident rather than a person. Interest and awareness about animal welfare are getting higher and higher, so why is the'biting accident' constant? I would like to consider a few things together for the prevention of bite accidents and coexistence of companions and non-companies.

1. "Isn't my dog ​​a blind dog?"

First, you need to worry about the type of blind dogs and how to manage them. The petitioner of the National Petition for the Blue House insists that anyone who raises a blind dog must issue a license unconditionally and pay a fine of 10 million won or more if the dog does not muzzle while walking. It is to strengthen the status of guardians of blind dogs and raise the level of punishment for petticket violations of blind dogs.

However, the management standards for actual blind dogs and the adherence to guardians of blind dogs are gradually increasing. The animal protection law was revised last year as the bite accident continued. If a blind dog goes out of the breeding place alone without a master, a fine of 3 million won or less is imposed, and if the dog goes out with a blind dog, a fine of 3 million won or less (1 million won for the first violation, 2 million won for the second violation, The content is subject to disposition of 3 million won or more for the third or more violations. In addition, guardians of blind dogs are required to complete compulsory education conducted by the government for three hours a year, and if blind dogs harm other people's bodies, they can be quarantined by the local government'without the consent of the owner'. Moreover, even with a collar and a muzzle, you cannot enter a daycare center, kindergarten, elementary school, or special school.

In addition, obligatory pet insurance for blind dogs (2021), import restrictions for blind dogs, and multi-family housing permits (2022) are also promoted. Obligation to join pet insurance means that you must insure insurance that compensates for the damages to the life, body, and property of others caused by an accident. Some people even complain that "very few blind guardians are wrong, and they treat the whole blind guardian as a criminal."

As such, regulations for blind dog management are being strengthened, but it is also clear to consider. This is the section about'kind of blind dogs'. Under the current animal protection law, there are five types of blind dogs: 1. Dogs and dogs 2. American Pit Bull Terrier 3. American Staffordshire Terrier 4. Staffordshire Bull Terrier 5. There are five types of Rottweilers. Follows. The dog who had a dog bite accident, a famous celebrity who was a big issue a few years ago, was a French bulldog breed, and the dog who bite a little girl in the apartment hallway last year was a fox terrier.

Let's make this assumption. There are French Bulldogs (A) who have bitten humans or other dogs several times, and Pit Bull Terriers (B) who have never asked a human or other dog. The French Bulldog (A) does not have to muzzle and can enter kindergarten. However, the Pit Bull Terrier (B) must have a muzzle and cannot enter kindergarten. This is the law.

Even if someone tells the French Bulldog (A) guardian, "A has asked people several times. Please fill in the muzzle while walking." This means that the answer is "My dog ​​is not blind." This is a limitation of blind dog designation based on breed. In reality, it may be efficient to designate a blind dog based on varieties, but it is considered that there is also a need to strengthen individual management by considering the past case and temperament of the individual. For example, the French Bulldog (A) is not a breed of blind dog, but management criteria similar to that of blind dog should be applied.

2. Who will evaluate the aggression of an individual?

The government also seems to know the need for individual management. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the'Five-year Animal Welfare Plan for Animal Welfare', we classified the dogs that caused dog bites or threatened others as'dangerous dogs' and evaluated the dangerous dog's temperament (aggressiveness). Accordingly, a system for imposing obligations such as correcting behavior and ordering euthanasia will be prepared until 2022>.

However, there is something to worry about. The question is,'Who will evaluate it with what criteria?' This is because there is no'team of experts to properly evaluate the aggressiveness of an individual' in Korea. In Korea, there are no nationally qualified trained trainees, and none of the veterinarians have acquired the qualifications of an American veterinary behavioral medicine specialist. According to veterinarian Sun-Ah Kim, the only Korean veterinarian who has completed the'American Veterinary Behavior Medicine Specialist' course at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical School in the U.S. It is said to review.

First, the guardian must fill out about 12 questionnaires at home. To understand not only about the'dog', but also the surrounding environment, it is recommended to attach a video of daily life. They also receive all medical records of animals from the animal hospital they attended. Even at the time of treatment, all behaviors are observed and analyzed from the moment the dog arrives at the hospital. Counseling usually takes an hour or more. A basic physical examination is also followed, to determine if you are aggressive because of your physical health (review the medical records as well).

After obtaining enough information from adoption to hospital visit, diagnosis and prognosis are conducted based on the information. The main risk factors to consider are the history of the bite (when, where, in what circumstances, who and how they were asked), the type of bite (the bite and the depth of the wound), past training experience, socialization, breed, genetics (Analysis of parent dog and same dog behavior), and the will and environment of the guardian. Even dogs with the same characteristics of the same breed have different options in different environments or guardians. There are usually four options.

① Do nothing.
② Treatment (prophylactic management, behavioral therapy, drug therapy, etc.).
③ Abandon parenting
④ Euthanasia


If euthanasia is considered to be dangerous for people and not good for animal welfare, it is said that euthanasia is a irreversible choice and is decided very carefully. A final decision will be made after two to three animal behavioral medicine specialists (veterinarians) and trainers discuss. Through this professional process, you should carefully and carefully recommend euthanasia, so that the owner can understand it? If you say "kill the dog right now" without this process, you have no choice but to increase your repulsion as a master.

By 2022, the most important issue in developing a dangerous dog assessment and compulsory system is to have the right experts set up accurate evaluation criteria. If the first button is misplaced, a system like UC Davis is unlikely to be expected.

3. "Why are you raising the breed?"

The last part I would like to consider is'adoption'. When you go out for a walk these days, you will often see varieties that were rare in the past. People passing by show interest and take a picture saying, "Wow~ what kind of dog is this?" On the other hand, on the other hand, there are times when I am worried,'Can I cultivate that variety well?' This is because if you do not provide proper training and exercise for the breed, problems may occur.

Of course, most carers will have studied the relevant breeds sufficiently and adopted their dogs considering their circumstances and circumstances. However, in some cases, pet dogs are sometimes adopted because of their appearance or'popularity', while ignoring'considerations before adopting a pet'. It is to adopt a dog because of the'Romance' of a commonly called breed. It's kind of a show off.

As long as irresponsible people who adopt dogs because of romance remain like this, no matter how strong the blind control and preparing a dangerous dog evaluation system, it's nothing more than a'respectful dog'. Pettickets will be followed by non-compliance and open-mindedness, and it will be impossible to have a happy co-existence between a companion and a non-companion.
