Government bans sale and breeding of 23 aggressive dog breeds for public safety
In a move aimed at protecting people from potential attacks by pet dogs, the government has issued a directive banning the sale and breeding of 23 aggressive dog breeds. The decision comes as a measure to ensure public safety and prevent any harm that these breeds might pose.
A special committee under the Ministry of Animal Husbandry has been formed to implement this ban effectively. The list of prohibited breeds includes well-known aggressive breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, and Akitas. Additionally, breeds like the South Russian Shepherd Dog and Japanese Tosa are also included in the ban.
