The central government is contemplating a ban on importing, breeding, and selling aggressive dog breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Mastiffs. This follows deadly incidents involving these breeds. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying advised states against issuing licenses for their sale and breeding. A committee of experts and animal welfare organizations, responding to a Delhi High Court order, recommended this action. Plans include sterilizing existing pets to curb breeding. Identified breeds include Pitbull Terrier, Rottweiler, and Wolf dogs. The move aims to enhance public safety and prevent future incidents.
