More than 30 years ago, China introduced the controversial one-child policy to stem its population growth, and now the growing popularity of pet dogs in its big cities has forced city authorities to introduce a ‘one family, one dog’ policy.
There are claims that there were about 58 million dogs across the country’s major cities in 2009 and that the figure is rising very fast.
Shanghai is the latest city to consider imposing a limit to the number of dogs a household can own.
