Incidents of dog bites occur from time to time, but interestingly, dogs seem to be more likely to attack vulnerable groups such as women and children. In this article, I will illustrate this phenomenon with two real-life examples. The first case occurred in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, where an 8-year-old boy was attacked by a large dog, bitten all over his body, and required lengthy surgery**. In the second case, in Chongzhou, Sichuan, a black dog pounced on a mother and her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter for no apparent reason, resulting in multiple injuries to the girl. I also experienced a similar incident firsthand, when my wife took our 2-year-old daughter to the doctor, only to be thrillingly bitten by a yellow dog. These incidents have sparked fear of dogs and reflection on the protection of women and children.
In the case of Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, a free-range yellow dog suddenly appeared in front of the little boy and began to attack him. The vicious dog's attack resulted in multiple deep wounds on the boy's face, which required 90 stitches. In the case of Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province, the black dog attacked the girl even more violently, causing her internal organs to be ruptured, fractured and lacerated in multiple places. These incidents raise concerns as to why dogs are showing more aggressive behaviour towards women and children
One possible explanation is that dogs feel more confident and advantaged when faced with vulnerable people. Dogs, as animals, instinctively follow the law of the jungle of "the jungle of the jungle". When they encounter strong males, they may flinch because they feel threatened. However, when confronted with relatively weak creatures such as women and children, they may see them as easy targets and thus exhibit aggressive behavior.
I've personally experienced dog bites. At that time, I took my daughter to a private clinic and unexpectedly encountered a yellow dog without a leash. The dog became hostile to my wife, who saw me holding my daughter, and started chasing her. My wife was so frightened that she ran around the yard and eventually hid in a stranger's house to escape the dog attack. This experience allowed me to witness first-hand the terrible consequences of dog bites and made me more concerned about the safety of women and children.
The aggressive behavior of dogs has brought great hidden dangers to society. Especially for women and children, dog attacks can lead to serious injuries and even life-threatening. This is contrary to China's current "Women and Children's Protection**", which aims to protect the legitimate rights and interests of women and children. However, when faced with the best dogs, how should we protect the safety of women and children?
After facing this problem, I made some suggestions. First of all, I support the ban on dogs in the city. Although this may be opposed by some dog owners because they believe that dogs are man's best friends and are animals with emotions and intelligence. However, we can decide whether to ban dogs through a vote of the owners of the community, which amounts to a voluntary restriction and has the force of law. In addition, we should take strict measures against people who keep dogs without a license, raise prohibited dogs without permission, and do not vaccinate dogs. For those dogs who attack others and cause harm, we should hold the dog owner legally responsible, including civil compensation and criminal liability.
To sum up, the phenomenon of dogs attacking women and children has triggered people's thinking about the protection of women and children. Dogs, as animals, exhibit different behaviors when confronted with different targets, and they may be more inclined to attack when faced with vulnerable people. This has brought great hidden dangers to society, and we need to strengthen the management of dogs to protect the safety of women and children. Measures such as banning dog ownership, strictly dealing with unlicensed dog owners, and holding dog owners accountable can all be effective in reducing the occurrence of such incidents. Hopefully, we can work together to create a safer environment for women and children to stay away from dogs.
