Shanghai, China’s richest city, is extending the country’s one-child policy to animals as it moves to limit residents to one dog per household in a bid to curb the growing popularity of man’s best friend.
The population of dogs is causing headaches for the city government which is banning certain breeds because of an increasing number of attacks under new rules passed by lawmakers, according to a statement released by the municipality today.
