VIC:New Vic laws to crack down on dogs
The days are numbered for dangerous dogs in Victoria after the death of a four-year-old
girl mauled by a pit bull mastiff.
The government will introduce proposed laws today ending the amnesty on restricted
dog breeds and closing loopholes to ensure pit bull crosses become a restricted breed.
Agriculture Minister PETER WALSH says the government moved swiftly following the tragic
death of four-year-old AYEN CHOL, who was mauled to death by a neighbour's pit bull mastiff
in her home two weeks ago at St Albans.
The new laws will end the amnesty to register restricted breeds on September 29, meaning
any pit bulls not registered after that time can be destroyed.
