On 22 October 2023, a dog crash in Liaoning Shenyang caused widespread concern. In the video, the woman sat on the floor crying with her run-down dog, and the pet dog was crushed to death, slapping herself and shouting, "Mom, please, you can't die." The scene was deeply distressing and gave rise to deep thought about animal protection and safety of transport.
First, with regard to animal protection, this incident reminds us once again that dogs must be tied when walking. Dogs are good friends of humanity and important partners in our lives. However, the absence of strings on the part of some of the owners of the dogs resulted in the accidental injury or death of the dogs. This has caused enormous psychological trauma not only to dog owners, but also to those around them. We should therefore develop a habit of holding dogs while walking in order to protect the safety and health of pet dogs.
Secondly, with regard to traffic safety, this incident also reminds us of the need to remain vigilant when travelling. The speed of cars and the lack of focus can lead to traffic accidents. In travelling, we should keep an eye on the road and the surrounding environment, especially when we encounter obstacles such as pet dogs, slowing down or avoiding accidents.
Furthermore, in the event of a similar accident, we should call the police for timely action. It is the responsibility of the police to identify and process claims in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and not in private. This ensures fairness and legality in the handling of accidents, and avoids unnecessary disputes and contradictions.
In short, this dog crash triggered our deep-seated thinking about animal protection and traffic safety. We should keep an eye on the environment and conditions around us, protect animals and maintain traffic safety. At the same time, we should be calm and rational in dealing with similar incidents.
