India has directed states to ban the sale and breeding of 23 breeds of ferocious dogs, including Pitbull Terrier, American Bulldog, Rottweiler and Mastiffs, amid rising instances of people dying due to pet dog attacks. The central government has issued a directive to states and Union Territories prohibiting people from keeping these breeds as pets. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying has also said that dogs of these breeds already kept as pets should be sterilized to prevent further breeding.
