“Screeched us.” Yesterday, remembering what happened a few days ago, Mr. Ishi, a villager in Gope village, the autonomous district of the Sanjiang clan and the collectivité of the Lehmong tribe, remained in a state of uncertainty. On 9 June, when his son, Jie, was bitten by a stray dog, his grandfather went after him, and almost a piece of meat on his calves was torn off and a bone was revealed.
On the afternoon of 9 June, Mr. Shih ' s 9-year-old son, Jie, was playing in the village. All of a sudden, a black tug came out and jumped on Jay, bit on the back of his left hand and ran away.
Jay ran home crying and told his family. Mr. Shi asked the village doctor to urgently treat Jie's wounds and immediately take him to the village health centre for injection. Jay's grandfather followed him in the direction of the black dog with a little stick.
Following the village, the black dog went into a thorn, and Jay's grandfather put a stick in and hit him. The black dog had a wild hair, turned around and bit the old man in the left leg, so that a piece of meat on his left calve was almost torn off and showed bones. Subsequently, the elderly were also taken to the village health centre, where he was advised to go to the district people ' s hospital for treatment because of the deep wounds.
"The three of us spent half a day trying to kill the dog." Mr. Ishi said that, upon his return from the village health centre, he and two villagers went around looking for the black dog and killed the 10-kg black dog on the side of the village with a stick.
What left Mr. Ishi helpless was that the dog was not raised by the villagers in his village or came from anywhere. In other words, he could not find anyone responsible for his son's and his father's injuries.
After being bitten, Jie and his grandfather raised concerns among the villagers. They were told that the black dog had bitten another dog in the village next door, and they wondered if it had bitten the dog in the village. Because the villagers' dogs were raised, they often ran around the village. If the dog is a mad dog and bites the rest of the village, it is certainly a danger. Villagers revealed that several years ago, a villager died of rabies after he was bitten by a mad dog who came in.
A journalist survey found that not only did local farmers keep dogs, but most of them did not have rabies. “It is true that very few villagers have taken the initiative to bring a rabies vaccine.” The staff of the Department of Aquaculture and Livestock in the county told journalists that only when there was publicity or mobilization in the countryside would a small number of villagers bring a dog to inoculate with rabies. “We have no way in this case, although dogs are required to do rabies, it is not compulsory.”
Some of the villagers who had dogs stated that rabies were required to fight once a year at $30 per rabies, which was not worth much, while a dog sold only a few dozen dollars locally.
