Nowadays, all kinds of coffee shops emerge in endlessly. These stores not only work hard on drinks and even dishes, but also attract the attention of the patterns in the store. Among them, pet coffee shop as a type of coffee shop with small animal elements, although it is not much new, but the popularity of this type of shop has been high.

This is the irresistible healing corner of the city.

Customers who go to pet coffee shops not only sign in for that cup of coffee or other drink, but more importantly, they want to seek a cure in the cuteness of those small animals. From the most common cats to dogs, to different owls and goats, to alternative creepy reptile lizards, the cup of coffee must have become more and more interesting with the company of small animals.

In addition to using small animals as a selling point, what is more attractive in most pet coffee shops is that customers who come to the store are often in close contact with small animals. Imagine sitting in your arms with a soft, warm cat while drinking coffee. Even if you are not a shoveling official, you will surely fall.

The potential danger of "intimacy distance" can not be ignored.

For example, in June last year, a 7-year-old girl in Beijing had dinner with her family in a cat coffee shop in Dongcheng District when she was scratched by a gray short-haired cat raised in the shop. After that, the shop assistant wiped the wound for the little girl with alcohol and showed her family proof of consent to responsibility with the official seal.

After leaving the shop, the little girl was taken to the hospital by her family to be vaccinated with 1185 yuan of rabies vaccine, but the cat coffee shop was only willing to pay 70 yuan for medical services. As a result, the little girl's family took the store to court, and recently, the verdict of the case was published on the Beijing Court trial Information Network, and the Dongcheng Court finally ordered the cat coffee shop to pay compensation for medical expenses.

For the cost of compensation, the reason given by the store is that the cat beans in the store have been vaccinated, and a sign has been put in front of the store to inform consumers that they have to bear the cost of the vaccine after scratching. However, the court held that although the defendant had a notice in the shop that the cost of vaccination should be borne by himself, the unilateral notification belonged to the standard terms, which not only exempted the defendant as the party providing the standard terms, but also excluded the main rights of the consumers. and whether the injured should use rabies vaccine has nothing to do with whether the animal has been immunized or not.

In the end, the court ordered the cat coffee shop to compensate the little girl for 1185 yuan in medical expenses, 100 yuan in transportation expenses and 132.67 yuan in lost class hours.

Besides stroking the cat, we have to think more about the coffee shop.

Examples like the above must not have been extinct since the emergence of the first pet coffee shop. Whether you are a shopkeeper who wants or already owns your own pet coffee shop, or a customer who has been to or will go to a pet coffee shop, there are some inevitable problems that need to be addressed.

1. Food and personal safety

For pet coffee shops, a clean environment is a very important bonus point, there can be no obvious floating animal hair and poorly handled faeces. Some of the more common coffee shops with smaller areas but more cats should also pay attention to the smell of animals that are difficult to eliminate. If small animals do not take timely treatment and epidemic prevention measures, there is also a risk of transmission to customers.

2. The moral issues of animal protectionism

In some poorly managed pet coffee shops, poor animals are hugged and styled by guests. Improper human contact can put pressure on small animals and even hurt them. To this end, pet coffee shops have been criticized and opposed by many animal conservationists.

There is no doubt that pet coffee shops are full of beautiful dreams and business opportunities, and they also provide a good place for people who like small animals. But as happened in the cat cafe in Beijing, we must see the safety risks such as small animals injuring people or people injuring small animals.

Whether you open a shop or patronize you, always keep in mind! When drinking coffee and playing with small animals, you should protect not only small animals but also yourself!
