Why should civilized dogs be forced by poison?

Recently, an article entitled "Taking a dog for a walk, isoniazid forces China to make progress in dog-raising civilization" became popular. In the article, the author popularized an anti-tuberculosis drug called "isoniazid", which is harmless to human body, but has a very strong poisoning effect on dogs. It can be used to poison dogs in public areas where stray dogs are rampant. Isoniazid poisoning dogs is not a new invention. 20 15 An academic paper from Deyang Animal Epidemic Prevention Station in Sichuan demonstrated the feasibility of killing stray dogs with it.

It should be said that this article belongs to the diffusion of cold knowledge. Because isoniazid is milder than violent culling, it is not easy to cause conflict. Although isoniazid is a prescription drug, it will bring allergic reactions and side effects to human body, but it is harmless and safer than tetramine. Therefore, some netizens said that they have found a coup to deal with stray dogs and pet dogs without leashes. However, in the modern society that pays attention to rules, we are bound to realize that improving pet civilization should rely on the establishment and perfection of rules, rather than throwing isoniazid in violence.

There is no doubt that if isoniazid can really kill dogs without hurting others, it will undoubtedly kill some dogs quietly. This can really deter and force some dog owners. You know, even if many people hate dogs, they will not directly conflict with dog owners. Once a conflict occurs, it is easy to form a public security case or a criminal case, and it is not easy to end it. If isoniazid is added, the dog will die, and it is difficult for the dog owner to find out the culprit, and it is likely to suffer a loss. From this point of view, dog owners and dog walkers will naturally have scruples, stop letting dogs run around and wear masks when walking dogs.

This seems to improve the civilized quality of dog owners, but in fact it is not beneficial to improve the quality of the whole people and the awareness of rules. It can be said that the act of poisoning dogs with isoniazid without permission is also the destruction of the current rule system. According to reports, isoniazid is a prescription drug with strict purchase and use thresholds. It is obviously illegal to buy isoniazid without authorization.

Moreover, dogs are legal property, and even stray dogs are life worthy of respect. Poisoning dogs undoubtedly infringes on the property rights of others. If the circumstances are serious or the value of poisonous dogs is high, it will constitute a violation of public security or a criminal offence. Even if the release behavior is relatively private and hidden, under the current technical conditions, it may not be a problem to trace the releaser, and the perpetrators will also be convicted. It can be seen that it is only a false proposition to force the dog culture to progress by throwing isoniazid, and it is not worth promoting to retaliate with violence and seek personal gain. If someone really takes it as a standard, I'm afraid it will only lead to both sides.

Of course, it cannot be denied that some dog owners lack the awareness of rules and public interests, which has brought trouble and harm to others. However, the solution of this problem still needs to return to the track of the rule of law. It is reported that in some countries, the disposal of stray dogs and the management of dog owners are relatively standardized. If dog owners don't take protective measures such as tying ropes when walking their dogs, they will not only face high fines, but also their dogs may be confiscated. Once these dogs bite others, the owners of the dogs will not only face huge claims, but also bear criminal responsibility. Some countries also have reasonable disposal methods for stray dogs.

In the final analysis, the contradiction between man and dog is the contradiction between man and dog owner. The key to improving pet civilization is to improve dog management and standardize dog-raising behavior. It is obviously an anti-civilization and a departure from the rule of law to promote pet civilization by throwing isoniazid, which is not worth promoting. It is imperative that the relevant departments should introduce more scientific and sound measures to regulate the behavior of dogs and dogs as soon as possible, and promote pet civilization through the system, rather than letting it go.
