In Playa del Carmen, a recent spate of dog attacks on children has led to increased measures to penalize owners of aggressive pets. A particularly severe attack on young girls has stirred up the community and ignited a legal discussion about public safety. The local government of Solidaridad has intervened in the matter, aiming to establish a precedent for responsible pet ownership.

The authorities are conducting a comprehensive investigation into the latest incident, where a child was attacked by a dog at Fundadores Beach. Despite an agreement reached between the parties involved, the goal is to ensure adherence to regulations and prevent similar incidents in the future. The law prohibits the presence of unleashed pets in public places, especially recreational areas like beaches.

The public is encouraged to report any instances of unattended pets to the appropriate authorities. Penalties will be imposed on those who violate these regulations. The safety of residents, particularly children, is a top priority for local authorities, who are taking steps to prevent future attacks by aggressive pets.
