After Large Dog Kills Pet, Furious Chinese Owner Charges With Scooter

Heated Debate Among Internet Users
Some Argue, "Charging with the Scooter Was Excessive"

In China, controversy has arisen as a video spreads showing the owner of a small dog charging at a large dog with an electric scooter, after a small dog was killed by an unleashed large dog.

According to Hong Kong-based news outlet Dongwang and others on September 8 (local time), a video depicting a conflict between dog owners in Liaoning Province has recently gone viral on Chinese social networking services (SNS).

The released video shows a large dog without a leash attacking a much smaller dog on a pedestrian sidewalk with passersby present. After being attacked, the small dog collapsed onto the ground and did not move, while the woman believed to be the owner of the large dog did not actively attempt to restrain her dog.

Subsequently, a woman believed to be the owner of the small dog appeared, riding an electric scooter. She drove the scooter directly at the large dog, which was still holding the small dog in its mouth. The owner of the large dog rushed to intervene, and in the process, the large dog—hit by the scooter—let go of the small dog. However, it was reported that the small dog had already died.

When the small dog did not move, the furious woman once again pursued the large dog with her scooter. The owner of the large dog tried to protect her pet and ended up getting hit by the scooter as well, according to reports.

As the video continues to circulate, it has sparked heated debate among local internet users. Some have argued that the owner of the large dog, who failed to restrain their pet while it attacked another dog, is responsible for the incident. On the other hand, others contend that the small dog's owner also acted dangerously by charging at a person with an electric scooter.

The outlet pointed out that even if the small dog’s owner was the victim, using a vehicle to hit someone may result in administrative penalties or criminal liability if the other person is injured. However, as of now, details such as the exact date, location, the extent of injuries to both owners, and the results of the police investigation have not yet been confirmed.
