Recently, in the dog market area of Qingbaijiang Flower and Bird Market in Chengdu, a middle-aged man opened a table on the street and started a dog vocal cord removal operation. The business was quite hot. After the netizens uploaded the pictures to the Internet, it caused a lot of controversy. Regardless of human nature, the reporter visited and found that "Jianghu Langzhong" did not obtain the relevant animal diagnosis and treatment qualification, and performing surgery for pets in the street has violated the relevant laws and regulations concerning animal diagnosis and treatment.
On-site: cut one every five minutes, and the tools will not be disinfected or cleaned?
In the dog area of qingbaijiang district Flower and Bird Market, all kinds of dogs are displayed along the street, and the middle of the road is crowded. This stall specializing in vocal cord removal for dogs is hidden in it.
On the morning of September/KOOC-0/4/KOOC-0/0, the "veterinarian" who cut vocal cords just set up a booth, and the dogs waiting for "surgery" have piled up all over the floor. The "vet" covered the cage with a piece of cloth and took out his own tools-clips, lamps, cotton, pulse pressure belts, anesthetics and needles, but none of them were stored in isolation. A white Pomeranian was pressed on the table, and the "veterinarian" tied its right front leg with a pulse pressure belt and pushed the anesthetic in with a needle. After 30 seconds, the dog gradually lost consciousness. The "veterinarian" assistant used two red ropes to cover the dog's upper and lower teeth, and then stretched them in different directions. The dog was instantly pulled into a pair of teeth, and its face was ferocious.
The vet held a lighted tool in one hand and a clip in the other, and put his hand into the dog's mouth at the same time. After playing with it for a while, the vocal cords were destroyed. The veterinarian threw the cut part directly on the ground with cotton, and the dog was carried to the ground next to it. Five minutes later, it woke up slowly. 1 hour, the "veterinarian" cut all the vocal cords of 10 dogs, and one can be cut in about 5 minutes. The reporter found that the "veterinarian" did not clean and disinfect the pulse pressure belt and clip after being stained with blood and used it directly. The ground is covered with dog blood and cotton.
Self-exposure: no relevant medical qualifications, veterinarian: "Where is it so strict?"
When the reporter communicated with the other party as a customer, the other party claimed to open a pet shop, mainly selling dogs. I learned the technique of dog vocal cord removal from others many years ago, so I set up a stall in the dog market. Every Wednesday and Sunday, "Veterinarians" will appear at the qingbaijiang district Flower and Bird Market on time, and almost everyone knows the vendors and dog buyers in the dog market.
However, the "veterinarian" said that he did not have the relevant qualifications for animal diagnosis and treatment. "Why is it so strict to get a certificate?" Vocal cord resection, called surgery by "veterinarians", is done on a table in a clean environment. Because of this, the price is exceptionally low, ranging from 100 yuan per dog.
The person in charge of a pet hospital in Chengdu told the reporter that before performing an operation on a pet, a general preoperative physical examination is usually conducted to see if surgery can be performed, and comprehensive disinfection will be carried out during the operation to filter the air in the operating room. "There are many unknown risks in the street, such as giving anesthetics to dogs. If there is an accident, it is difficult to rescue the dog. " At the same time, there will be bleeding during the operation, and blood is also a potential source of infection, and there will definitely be a risk of infection. There is no guarantee that there is no chance of infection in aseptic operating room.
"Removing vocal cords for dogs in this environment is not only risky for dogs, but also poses a threat to the health of surrounding residents." Ye, assistant doctor of Chengdu Harmonious IKEA Animal Hospital, said.
Official: It has violated the norms of animal diagnosis and treatment and needs an animal diagnosis and treatment license?
According to the relevant provisions of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Animal Epidemic Prevention, the reporter learned that the establishment of an institution engaged in animal diagnosis and treatment activities should apply to the veterinary department of the local people's government at or above the county level for an animal diagnosis and treatment license.
It is clearly mentioned in the Measures for the Administration of Animal Clinic that an application for the establishment of an animal clinic should have a fixed animal clinic, and the use area of the animal clinic should comply with the relevant regulations. The location of the animal clinic is not less than 200 meters away from livestock and poultry farms, slaughterhouses and animal trading places. Animal clinics have independent entrances and exits and should not be located in residential buildings or hospitals, nor should they be used by other users in the same building. After confirming the above regulations to reporters, the staff of qingbaijiang district Agriculture and Forestry Bureau also said that animal clinics should have facilities such as consultation rooms, operating rooms and pharmacies with reasonable layout, and a set of management systems such as diagnosis, surgery, disinfection, refrigeration, routine laboratory tests, sewage treatment and harmless treatment.
Pet clinics need to have 1 or more people who have obtained the qualification certificates of practicing veterinarians, and pet hospitals need to have more than 3 people who have obtained the qualification certificates of practicing veterinarians. According to the "Measures for the Implementation of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Animal Epidemic Prevention Law" in Sichuan Province, personnel engaged in animal diagnosis and treatment or auxiliary activities of diagnosis and treatment shall obtain the qualification certificate of practicing veterinarian or assistant veterinarian in accordance with the provisions of the state, and apply to the local veterinary authorities at or above the county level for registration or filing by virtue of the labor contract signed with the unit with the conditions for diagnosis and treatment.
Investigation: It is claimed that in order not to disturb the people, it has been ordered to stop operation for investigation.
17 in the morning 1 1 o, the crowded dog market gradually drifted away in a light rain. The "vet" once again put the operating table, a shabby simple square table, on the street. Several dog owners came to the scene with different breeds of dogs and lined up to operate on them. The "vet" sat around an apron and was busy. Several law enforcement officers of the Agricultural Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade of Qingbaijiang Agriculture and Forestry Bureau also came to the scene to conduct law enforcement inspections on their surgical diagnosis and treatment activities.
"Do you have a medical license?" The law enforcement officer asked. "There is no certificate." The man replied. "Then you can't have surgery." Law enforcement officials said. In the face of inquiries from law enforcement officers, the man did not stop his operation and showed impatience with the inspection by law enforcement officers. "The barking of dogs disturbs people." Several dog owners on the side also echoed, "The dog barked and was complained, and now it is said that vocal cord surgery cannot be done. What do you say? "
"If there is no medical certificate, you can't do it. This is already a medical activity. " Law enforcement officials demanded: "Please stop and go to the office for further inquiry." The man still ignored it, but stopped after hitting several dogs at the scene.
In the subsequent investigation, according to the man's reaction, his name is Zeng Moumou, and he learned this craft from others. He only knows this one. So it is almost impossible to get a license through the exam. "I can't get through at all, and I don't know the specific process." In terms of fees, it has been said that generally a dog charges 50 yuan, and a large dog charges 80 yuan.
After investigation by law enforcement officers, Zeng did not obtain an animal diagnosis and treatment license and was suspected of engaging in animal diagnosis and treatment activities in violation of regulations. Law enforcement officers also temporarily detained their surgical tools and ordered them to stop their surgical activities and accept further investigation.
Is it considerate or cruel to cut the vocal cords to stop dogs from barking?
The dog owner said: barking is too disturbing. It is better to cut off the vocal cords than throw them away.
The pet doctor said: This is inhuman. Dogs' habits can be changed through training?
The dog breeds sent to Qingbaijiang Flower and Bird Market for cutting vocal cords are Bomei, Teddy, Samoyed and Bulldog. Some dog owners even cut vocal cords for their four or five dogs. A dog owner said that he keeps dogs to sell cubs, and there are more than 20 dogs at a time. "The dog barked too loudly. Someone reported it and someone came to check it. He had to cut his vocal cords."
A hostess who claimed to have only one Teddy said that it was really unbearable for dogs to bark at home every day, and they had to disturb their neighbors and simply cut off their vocal cords. Do you feel a little cruel and heartbroken? "This method is better than throwing the dog away."
The reporter learned that in addition to some pet dog owners, many people who come to do vocal cord resection for dogs are dog dealers.
The reporter consulted many well-known animal hospitals in Chengdu and found that there are not many hospitals that do dog vocal cord surgery. Ye, an assistant doctor at an animal hospital in Chengdu Harmony, said that on the one hand, the demand for vocal cord cutting is not great, and on the other hand, the hospital is unwilling to cut vocal cords for dogs.
After netizens posted pictures of dogs cutting their vocal cords online, many netizens objected, "Either don't raise them from the beginning, or don't dislike dogs barking." Another netizen said, "This practice is too rude. You can't say that dogs want to bite, just pull out their teeth. "
Ye suggested that dogs who like to yell can be sent to special dog training institutions, or teachers can be invited to teach dogs' behavior. "In fact, the habit of shouting can be improved."
