Delhi HC sends notice to Centre on plea against ban on ‘ferocious’ dogs

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court on March 21 issued notice to the Centre on a petition challenging a recent notification banning 23 breeds of “ferocious” dogs and mandatory sterilisation for current owners. The petition filed by four persons challenged the March 12 notification of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India, banning the import, breeding, and selling of the breeds including Pitbull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Dogo Argentine, American Bulldog, etc. The plea said the “notification is characterised by its lack of scientific basis, devoid of any research or reports supporting the purported cause of reducing dog bites or enhancing public safety”. “The notification lacks a comprehensive framework or research-backed methodology to define what exactly constitutes a “ferocious breed” and how the selected breeds fit into this classification,” it added.
