The central government now has written to the state governments asking them to ban the import, sale and breeding of certain dog breeds which are considered dangerous in India now.
PETA's involvement
Government bans 25 ferocious dog breeds from March 12, 2024, following expert recommendations and PETA's involvement.
Banned dog breeds
The breeds include Rottweiler, Pitbull, Terrier, Wolf dogs, and Mastiffs, which are deemed to be dangerous for human life.
What next?
The ban likely focuses on future ownership, so you can probably keep your current dog.
Government registration
Make sure your dog is registered to the government and you have to sterilize the dog to ensure and prevent any further breeding.
Responsible ownership
Responsible ownership is key. Ensure your dog is properly licensed, muzzled, and leashed in public places.
