Young Li, who was pregnant in January, was chased by dogs raised by shopkeepers after passing through a supermarket and was frightened, though not hit or torn apart. Upon return, Yanglie felt ill and was informed of the abortion when she visited the hospital. After consultations with the supermarket owner, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Li appealed to the court for damages. Modern Express journalists learned that in recent days Suzhou had been familiar with the case and had upheld Yang Li ' s claim.
In April 2021, when Yanglie was passing through a mini-mart when she had been pregnant for more than one month, she was chased by dogs raised by the owner of the supermarket, who, although not colliding or torn to bits, frightened her.
When I got home, Young-li was not feeling well. He visited the hospital the following day, but was unable to keep the foetus and was informed of the abortion.
Subsequently, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Li went to the supermarket to consult with shopkeeper Zhao and failed to reach agreement. Yang Li then appealed to the court, asking Zhao to bear 590 yuan for his medical expenses and to pay the sum of 8,000 yuan for his nutrition, late work and nursing, and to apologize.
When Zhao arrived in court, he believed that the dog he had raised did not have a leash, but that it was not urgent that the dog pursued a small distance because Yanglie was carrying another puppy. Yanglie ' s application was partly excessive and being chased by dogs was not necessarily the main cause of Yanglie ' s miscarriage.
After the trial, Zhao Zhao made a settlement and realized that it was not his fault. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, the court drew up a preliminary determination of the duration of and criteria for the interruption of Yang Li's miscarriage, the duration of which was the same as the duration of the nutrition period. The organization concluded a mediation agreement whereby Zhao made a lump sum payment of $6,200 for the total loss of Yang Li, including medical, nutritional and work expenses.
Modern Express journalists have learned that the Animal Disease Prevention Law of the People ' s Republic of China, which has just been in force this year, stipulates that when a dog leaves the household, it should wear a dog ' s licence and take measures such as a canine rope to prevent the spread of the disease. However, there are still some pet owners who do not pay attention to the consequences.
In addition, Suzhou has introduced the Suzhou City Dogs Regulation, which is more nuanced than the Animal Disease Act: the city has a system of registration of dogs. No unit or individual is allowed to raise dogs older than four months without registration. The following provisions shall be observed: (i) the dog shall be placed with the dog only; (ii) the lead shall be held by a person with full civilian capacity within one and a half metres, or shall be carried into a canine cage; and (iii) the elderly, the disabled, pregnant women and minors shall be actively avoided. In the event that a dog does not effectively restrain the dog in accordance with the provisions of this regulation, the dog shall bear the corresponding civil liability under the law, and the dog shall bear the sole responsibility for death and injury.
The presiding judge stated that Zhao had failed to fulfil his duty to care for the animals he raised, leading him to pursue Yang Li, and that he should be held fully responsible for the losses incurred. There is, on the other hand, a complete causal link between Yanglie ' s miscarriage and her being chased by a dog, and the parties finally settled the case, taking into account the cost of the proceedings and the risk of identification.
