Introduction: everyone knows that pets are lively and lovely, bringing spiritual comfort to modern people in the reinforced concrete jungle However, when pets enter the city on a large scale, the urban problems caused by them are exposed The current situation of the pet market in Hohhot is that the competent department is not clear and the industry is not standardized According to the reporter, the pet trade in Hohhot is basically in a state of chaos In an open-air pet market in Huimin District of Hohhot City, the reporter saw that there are nearly 100 dealers selling dogs, cats and pigeons, but most of them sell dogs There are twenty or thirty kinds of dogs, with prices ranging from tens to thousands of yuan When the reporter asked whether the dog had passed the quarantine, the dog peddler said with disdain: "what do you want that thing for? You want me to print you a bunch Most people in this market are unlicensed, don't they still sell here? " The reporter turned around the market and didn't find any pets were quarantined Open air pet market in Huimin District of Hohhot city In this spontaneous pet market, there are nearly 100 dealers selling dogs, cats and pigeons The reporter learned from a dog dealer surnamed Ma that most people who buy dogs here are "laymen" who don't know about pets These people basically don't know whether they are healthy or not when they buy dogs As long as they look lively and lovely, they will buy dogs when they run for two laps on the ground happily, and the price won't be too much When the reporter expressed his intention to buy dogs and asked whether the sold dogs had been given serum or vaccines, the dog dealer first said: "such a small dog can't be beaten now." In the reporter's repeated questioning, he said the truth: "don't give them serum and vaccine, dog small is one of the reasons, but the real reason is that the price of these dogs is too low, coupled with the poor quality, if the serum and vaccine, the dog is healthy, but the price is higher than the dog's own 'value', such a dog simply can't sell." According to the reporter, the dogs here are usually dogs with poor immunity purchased from other places In order to gain profits, some dog traffickers mix food or inject neurodrugs to sick dogs before selling dogs, stimulate the brain and motor nervous system of dogs, and make them "healthy and lively" When such a dog is bought back, it usually dies in about 7 to 10 days According to one person familiar with the matter, the dog dealer did so to pass on the loss of the dog's death to the buyer It's the open secret of the dog business to only do "one hammer business" It is understood that in order to obtain high profits, dog dealers usually buy dogs with poor immunity from other places for sale These puppies have not been vaccinated or given serum "Animals need to be sold, transported and exhibited with quarantine certificates," said a staff member of the Veterinary Department of the Inner Mongolia animal husbandry bureau But at present, it is difficult to manage " The reporter learned in some regular pet hospitals in Hohhot that about one-third of pets bought in the market are infected by germs in the circulation environment, thus entering the "Infernal hell" of "no service, no health and no life" With pets, pet medical institutions have a large number of derivative institutions, such as pet toy monopoly, pet clothing store, pet hospital, etc., which serve these little guys They are like gods However, most people don't know that the business of making money by pets makes use of people's psychology and makes the owners spend a lot of money Many pet hospitals are among the rich When visiting some pet hospitals in Hohhot, the reporter found that the price of pet drugs ranged from tens to hundreds of yuan, and some imported drugs were more expensive The reporter learned in the interview that all kinds of medical projects and medicines of pet hospitals in Hohhot cannot be marked clearly According to the national regulations, vaccines are exclusive Only epidemic prevention departments and veterinary departments at all levels can be engaged in vaccine injection In Hohhot pet hospitals, pets can be basically vaccinated It is understood that there are about 40 pet hospitals in Hohhot Informal pet hospitals account for a considerable proportion Recently, Ms Zhang's Scottish shepherd dog fell ill She took her dog to a pet hospital near the garden of Hohhot University Ms Zhang introduced the dog's condition to the doctor in detail The doctor looked at it roughly and concluded that Ms Zhang's dog had pneumonia and needed hospitalization without any examination Ms Zhang asked about the medical expenses needed for the dog's hospitalization The doctor said: "the standard charge for the dog's hospitalization is 100 yuan a day If you add the nursing fee and medicine fee, it will cost 300-400 yuan a day "A friend of the reporter, her dog has a cold recently So she came to a pet hospital and prescribed some medicine, which cost more than 200 yuan "Cold medicine for people is not so expensive!" With doubts, the reporter's friend came to the drug laboratory of a large hospital and found that many drugs for dogs are for human use, and the price is more than ten times higher than the market price Most pet hospitals in Hohhot are small clinics with incomplete certificates and medical equipment These so-called pet medical institutions are mixed and unsupervised The reporter learned from the Veterinary Department of the Agricultural Bureau of Inner Mongolia autonomous region that it is necessary to apply for the industrial and commercial license, tax license, animal epidemic prevention license, veterinary medicine and animal diagnosis and treatment license, as well as a certain scale of diagnosis and treatment equipment However, quite a few things in Hohhot pet hospital run medical business without permission Some pet hospitals don't even have any medical equipment, and only some basic drugs begin to operate [NextPage] according to Yang Xiucheng, director of the animal epidemic prevention supervision institute of the autonomous region, they have been trying to find a solution to the current chaos in the pet medical market However, due to the imperfection of relevant regulations in this regard, it is difficult to have laws to deal with the problem Yang Xiucheng also introduced that foreign pet drugs are more professional and standardized, while domestic pet drugs are often mixed, which is one of the reasons for the inflated price of pet drugs Because the price department does not include the pet market in the price management system, customers will have to face the price trap in the short term Stray pets: there are more pets causing public safety problems in the city, and the lonely city has a "talking" partner But problems arise when a dirty pet slips past you Now there are more and more families with pets, and more and more stray pets on the street Some are due to loss; some are born with disability, poor appearance or abandoned by the owner due to an accident They roam the streets, look for the food they throw away in the garbage, and suffer some inhuman abuse and even slaughter It is understood that at present, only some big cities in Beijing and Shanghai have established pet treatment centers At present, there is no relevant law to protect abandoned animals Recently, a stray dog was seen in the interview The dog is about three months old, its voice is very weak and its body is huddled The reporter wanted to take him home to adopt him, but when he got closer, he found that the body of the kitten had been festering, and there was a circle of flies around the wound The reporter then sent it to the pet hospital During the process of disinfection of the wound, the dog died According to the doctor's conjecture, the dog may have been injured by someone, not treated in time, and the wound infection led to death Wang Shiling, director general of the China small animal protection fund, said that pets need a sense of responsibility Once they are raised, they cannot be discarded, abused or treated as dolls If this awareness is not established, the problem of stray animals will not be solved Abandoned pets roam the streets, which caused a series of problems In addition to disturbing the residents, there are also potential safety hazards Some dog owners don't vaccinate their dogs They are fond of it, but pet it If they are tired of it, they will abandon it It is a potential danger to bury it as a rabies virus source Some stray pets have very strong reproductive capacity, and they can "have children" in the streets and lanes, which brings great pressure on public health Yang Xiucheng, director of the animal epidemic prevention supervision institute of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, suggested that the relevant departments should set up a homeless pet shelter to specifically treat stray pets, so as to avoid stray pets from exile He also suggested that relevant departments should promulgate relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, punish the act of abandoning pets arbitrarily, and protect the survival rights and interests of stray pets The dog in the reporter's house suddenly fell ill The reporter wanted to cremate it or bury it But he asked many funeral parlors in the city and said they didn't serve pets The reporter can't bear to throw it into the garbage and bury the dog in the suburb by himself The reporter learned that the treatment of pet corpses has become a difficult problem for the public It is understood that there is no special place for burying or cremating pets in Hohhot Hohhot Civil Affairs Bureau said that at present, there are no clear regulations on the treatment of pet corpses According to the staff of Hohhot disease prevention and control center, due to the lack of relevant measures, most of the citizens dispose of their pet bodies at will, throw them into the garbage or bury them by themselves, while some of the citizens simply throw their pets into the river Hohhot City disease control and Prevention Center staff said that once the pet died, pets with fleas, mites and other parasites, will "abandon the body" to find new parasitic living If the pet died of infectious diseases, it will cause the spread of infectious diseases if it is discarded at will It is understood that from the perspective of health and epidemic prevention, cremation of pet carcasses is the best choice, but at present, the management department of Pet Cremation has not been defined, and relevant regulations have not been issued, so how to operate is a problem.
