The current Act prescribes that when the owner or keeper of an animal subject to registration goes outside with the animal, he/she shall take safety measures, such as attaching a neck leash, and shall collect excreta whenever discharged, thereby aiming to regulate acts that may threaten or offend other people.
However, the Enforcement Decree limits animals subject to registration to canines that are raised in a house or quasi-dwelling and canines that are raised for human companionship in a space other than a house or quasi-dwelling. Consequently, owners and keepers of animals are not obligated to manage canines that are not subject to registration, making it difficult to impose sanctions when they take canines outside without attaching a leash or taking other safety measures.
Accordingly, the Amendment prescribes that when the owner or keeper of a canine takes the canine outside, he/she shall take safety measures, such as attaching a leash, and collect excreta whenever discharged regardless of whether the canine is subject to registration, thereby aiming to keep people safe from canine aggression, etc. (Article 13, paragraph 2).
