Stray cats reproduce fast, and many kind-hearted people like to feed them, which has become a major safety hazard in the community. Recently, Ms. Jiang Yan Wang (pseudonym) broke the news that she was scratched by a wild cat suddenly rushing out from the downstairs of the community unit, and the wound was deep and she was bleeding on the spot.
According to Ms. Wang's recollection, on the evening of July 22, she walked home from outside. When she walked downstairs of Building 43 in the community, a wild cat suddenly jumped out of the green belt, with green light in her eyes, and she was very afraid of people. Just as she was about to leave quickly, the wild cat rushed towards her and scratched her.
Ms. Wang said that at that time she found that the wound was deep and bleeding, so she immediately went to the People's Hospital for rabies vaccine and serum, and paid a total of more than 1,800 yuan in medical expenses. After thinking about it, she believed that the property management had not fulfilled its safety precautions and should bear responsibilities. So the next morning, she found the property company and asked the property to deal with the injured wild cat in time to prevent it from continuing to hurt people. At the same time, she hoped that the property would compensate for these medical expenses.
"At that time, the property manager said that the wildcat would handle it and asked the leader for compensation issues; however, three days later, the wildcats were still appearing nearby. The property owner was afraid that it had not taken any measures. This would not reassure the safety of the owner!" Ms. Wang said that later she contacted the property manager, but the person in charge replied lightly that he would not pay any compensation.
Ms. Wang was very angry about this. "I have never delayed the property fees I should pay every year. Now my safety is threatened, but the property only knows how to collect money and do not do it." Ms. Wang said that in recent years, due to the inaction of the property and the feeding of caring owners, there are more and more stray cats in the community. "I hope the property will assume the minimum safety responsibility and properly handle these stray cats."
Regarding Ms. Wang's experience, some netizens said that the property should bear certain responsibilities. First of all, from the perspective of infectious diseases, hygiene and scratching and biting, the existence of stray cats is potentially harmful to owners, especially children. The property should actively take measures to protect the personal safety of the owners. If the property does not take effective measures, it is a dereliction of duty and can be held accountable through complaints or legal means.
Some netizens also believe that demanding compensation for property is unreasonable: This is a tort injury, and it is a problem for the property if you want to provide evidence. It doesn’t make sense to rely on poor property management alone. If the property sees a stray cat driving it away, it means that they have managed it, but the cat comes back and cannot blame the property.
For more details, the editor contacted the property management company on August 4. The property manager told the editor that since receiving feedback from Ms. Wang, they have strengthened patrols and arranged security guards to drive away stray cats to ensure the safety of community owners. But as of now, no wild cat was found that scratched Ms. Wang. "She said she was bitten downstairs of the unit, but we cannot verify it; in addition, we have actively adopted measures such as driving away and catching stray cats, and we should not bear the responsibility." The person in charge said that according to the Property Management Regulations, although the property management company has certain safety precautions for the community, this security obligation is limited, necessary and relative. Therefore, it is unreasonable to make the property compensation.
"There is surveillance near the incident, and a few days after being scratched, I took a photo of this wild cat again. So, has the property really fulfilled its responsibilities?" Ms. Wang said that she could not approve of the property's statement and might go directly to the court to sue in the next step.
In daily life, many owners like to feed stray cats and dogs in the community, but in fact, there are problems with what seems to be loving practices. Because the owners continue to feed, stray cats and dogs will gather and reproduce in large quantities, which will have an impact on their living environment and safety. Here, the editor recommends that the owners should immediately feedback to the property after they find stray cats and dogs. The property should contact the public security department in time, arrest them and send them to the Taizhou pet inspection and rescue base.
