Attitude of Pet Owners 

The Necessity of Petiquette 



By Yoo-Jung Kim, Reporter

Spitz, who was walking in Eunpyeong-gu, was bitten by a Rottweiler recently. Spitz is known to have lived with his pet owner for 11 years. The Rottweiler was found not to have worn a muzzle at the time of the accident, which angered many people. The Rottweiler species are a kind of dog that is famous for being required to wear a muzzle. However, the incident occurred because the owner did not keep the Petiquette. I will be alert about this incident and find out about pet tickets and the attitude of the owners who live with pets.


<Pet ticket>

Petiquette means the courtesy you must observe when you are with your pet in public. First, put a leash on the dog. It is necessary for dogs and people to take a walk together. Even when a dog is aggressive, dogs can be sanctioned with this pet ticket. Second, put a muzzle on the dog. This is not a pet ticket for every dog. Especially, it is required for species that are aggressive. The above-mentioned Spitz incident was also caused by failure to keep this second pet ticket. Petiquette is trivial but very important. Third, pack bowel bags for dog poop. The bowel bags are needed when pets are walking because their bowel movements become more active. In addition, you have to clean up well because it can cause damage to other people. The last act is to be considerate of people who are afraid of pets. This is the most important. Our companion animal is our family. Other people can see it as an animal, not a family member. When a pet approaches, it can be scared or disliked. Therefore, the owners should take good care of it. If we follow these pet tickets, people who don't raise pets can support pet tickets and live well.

Petiquette is not only for people who live with their pets. It is also necessary for people who do not live with their pets. First, do not touch the other family's dog. Dogs that live with people can be family's babies and younger siblings. Touching a dog without consent is like touching their family. If you touch a dog without consent, it can be aggressive and strange. Even, the dog can bite you. This behavior happens a lot by people who don't have pets. Do not scream a second time. As much as you are surprised, the dog may be surprised. If you scream, the dog can get excited and make you more scared. Please pass quietly with consideration.

<Attitude for pet owners >

The most important thing as a pet owner is to keep the pet ticket well. It is the pet owner who can popularize the pet ticket. Of course, pet owners' attitude is not the only thing that matters. Social efforts are also needed. The number of people living with pets is increasing, but there is a lack of laws or social systems for them. Accidents involving dogs continue to occur. Only when personal efforts and social systems develop, Petiquette can be widely practiced. From a personal point of view, we need to take good care of each other's pets and live by keeping Petiquette with them. It is necessary to promote pet tickets socially and to overhaul various pet-related laws and systems. In particular, the attitude of the Rottweiler owner shocked people about the accident. He killed another person's precious companion animal and escaped without apologizing. However, there is no social law and system to punish the owner. This kind of reality is taken personally and socially as a sign that society is less prepared to live with pets. Therefore, we should work together to create a society where pet owners, non-owners, and pets can live well.

In the process, pet owners need to keep their pet tickets and try harder. Will the day come when we can live well with the laws and institutions of pets? In the future, I hope that there will be a society where pets and society can coexist well with each other and there will be no terrible accidents related to pets again.
