The breeding of purebred dogs is an increasingly widespread practice in our working-class neighborhoods, but it is important to take precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of all. Indeed, the tragic story that occurred in the commune of N’sele, in Kinshasa, where a teenage girl lost her life after being bitten by a purebred dog, raises important questions about the regulation of the keeping of these animals.
The high cost of feeding these dogs, which can consume between 10 and 25 kg of meat per day, highlights the fact that only those who are financially well-off can really assume this responsibility. It is therefore essential that the authorities intervene to supervise and control the keeping of purebred dogs, in order to avoid future tragedies.
To discuss this in more detail, Professor Célestin Pongombo, a veterinarian specializing in dogs, highlights several precautions to take when breeding purebred dogs in our working-class neighborhoods. He emphasizes the importance of training and socializing dogs from a young age, to prevent any aggressive behavior. In addition, he emphasizes the need to respect safety rules, including keeping dogs under surveillance and using adequate restraints.
The tragic incident in N’sele led the authorities to take measures to better regulate the keeping of purebred dogs, by requiring prior authorization to own one. This regulation aims to protect the population and avoid new tragedies.
In conclusion, raising purebred dogs in our working-class neighborhoods is a responsibility that must be exercised with caution and vigilance. It is essential to take precautions to prevent any risk of incident and ensure the well-being of all. By following the advice of experts and respecting the established rules, we can create a safe and harmonious environment for humans and animals.
