In Mao’s day, dog ownership by city dwellers was condemned as a “symbol of decadence” and strays were shot on sight. In the capital dogs were banned until 1994 and strictly licensed until 2003. Since then, a relaxation of the rules has allowed ownership to grow by 25% a year, bringing the total number of registered dogs to more than 2m in 2016, says the Public Security Bureau, which issues dog-keeping permits. According to Mary Peng of the International Centre for Veterinary Services, a charity, only 50-60% of dogs in the city and 30% of those in suburbs are licensed. So, she reckons, there may be 4m-6m dogs in Beijing, more than five times as many as in London or New York.
在毛时代,城市居民养狗被看作是堕落的象征和流浪者则当场毙。在首都,1994之前养狗是违法的,一直到2003年养狗得到严格批准。从那时候以来,宽松的法律使得养狗的年增长率为25%。2016年,注册狗的总数超过了200万。该数据来源于公共安全局,该局负责批准养狗。根据慈善组织国际兽医服务中心的玛丽鹏,城市只有50%-60%和农村30%的狗上牌。因此她估算大约有400到600万只狗生活在北京,数量是伦敦或者纽约的5倍多。
