λοιπόν, εφόσον γίνεται συζήτηση αυτό τον καιρό στο φόρουμ για την συμπεριφορά των σκύλων και την συμπεριφορά των ανθρώπων προς τα ζώα, θεώρησα καλό να ανοίξω το παρόν με παραδείγματα από άλλες χώρες καθώς και την εκάστοτε νομοθεσία τους.έτσι, μπας και καταλάβουμε ποτέ τα χάλια μας.
τέλος, καλό θα ήταν να επισημαίνουμε και τις πηγές μας για μελλοντική αναφορά.

γερμανία:
Certain breeds of dogs present special problems. The rules vary from state to state in Germany, but most consider Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers too dangerous. Their import is banned. Several of the states, including Bavaria, Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia, also have what they consider a Category 2 Kampfhund, and this includes the Rottweiler.
There is no outright ban on the import of Rottweilers, but they must be submitted to a viciousness test. If they pass the test they are treated like any other dog. But if they fail they are subject to the same rules as the Pit Bulls and Terriers. If they are not outright banned from the state they face a high licensing fee, must be neutered and must be muzzled and kept on a leash whenever they are off the owner's property.
With these and all pets, the owner is legally responsible for anything the animal does. They are subject to huge lawsuits if, for instance, a dog runs a motorcyclist off the road and he is disabled for life. A personal liability policy arising out of ownership of a dog costs about €70 a year in Germany. It's a good idea to obtain this insurance.
