Spanish dog-fanciers may be forced to neuter pets.

By Salvador Sanchez
SEVILLA (Dogueros Blogspot) - The governors of the region of Andalusia in southern Spain are about to throw out a bill which forces the owners of 15 dog breeds and their mixes to neuter their dogs. The breeds which are affected by that bill are: Akita Inu (Japanese Akita), American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bullmastiff, Ca de Bou (Perro de Presa Mallorquin), Dobermann, Dogo Argentino, Dogo Canario (Perro de Presa Canario), Dogue de Bordeaux, Fila Brasileiro, Mastino Napoletano, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Bullterrier, Tibetan Mastiff and Tosa Inu (Japanese Tosa). A government official claimed that the bill is a necessity to control the attacks of dogs which increased in Spain during the last years. Valid sources from Spain say that if the Bill passes in Andalusia, the next step would be to pass it through the laws of whole Spain.
Dog fanciers over Spain and whole Europe are signing an online petition to express their contrariety at
