However, those who don\u2019t own one, are heaving a sigh of relief. The Panchkula Municipal Corporation (MC) has directed all those who own Pitbulls and Rottweilers to get their dogs registered by October 31, or pay huge fines. However, this rule is not applicable in Mohali and Chandigarh.<\/p>\n<p>A press statement released by Panchkula MC reads, \u201cPeople have to get these two breeds registered before October 31. Pups will not be registered. Whenever pet owners take their dogs out for a walk, they must ensure a token (issued by MC) in their necks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If any dog owner is found in public place with his or her unregistered dog of any of these two breeds, he or she will have to pay \u20b95,000 fine the first time, and \u20b910,000 the second time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-video\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"width: 525px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"blog-inner-video\" id=\"video-4790-1\" width=\"525\" height=\"289\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rottweiler.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rottweiler.mp4\">https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rottweiler.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><strong>Rottweiler being brought to Panchkula MC for registration<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The press statement further reads, \u201cDog owners will also have to give an affidavit to the MC that if their dog bites any human being or animal, then the responsibility will be of the dog owner. He or she will bear the expenses of the treatment and ensure that the person gets the best treatment.\u201d These conditions will not be applicable if there is a dog show in the city.<\/p>\n<p>What is this entire fuss about these two breeds, in particular, being targeted by the Panchkula MC? In July, 2022, an 80-yr-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/lucknow-news\/80yearold-lucknow-woman-mauled-to-death-by-pet-dog-pitbull-101657704455378.html\">Lucknow woman was bitten by a Pitbull <\/a>that her son owned and she died. The son, however, got the Pitbull back into the family after it was confiscated by a rescue centre.<\/p>\n<p>This incident raised a hue and cry across the country regarding the ownership of Pitbulls and how such \u2018life-threatening\u2019 breeds of dogs who can harm the owner,\u00a0 could be a danger to the common man. \u201cAfter this incident, about 42 Pitbulls across the Tricity who were abandoned by their owners were rescued by my NPO,\u201d says Pankaj Khandeliya, owner of NPO (non-profit organization) Foreign Fluff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-3\">\u201cAnother reason why this issue has caught so much attention is that the panchayat polls are around the corner, there are about 14-15 Pitbulls in Kalka and its vicinity and they attack people,\u201d argues Pankaj. Therefore, the problem does not lie in Pitbull pets biting people, but unregistered and untrained Pitbulls getting aggressive due to lack of insufficient food and loving home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-video\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"width: 525px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4790-2\" width=\"525\" height=\"289\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pitbull.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pitbull.mp4\">https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pitbull.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><strong>Pitbull and other dogs at Foreign Fluff, NPO for dogs<\/strong><\/div>\n<p class=\"mt-3\">What is the possible solution? The first thing that comes to mind is to stop breeding them. \u00a0A Panchkula MC official says, \u201cThe MC has set October 31 deadline for owners to get these two breeds registered or face a challan. People are showing up and getting their dogs registered. A complete ban on breeding of these breeds has been imposed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA proforma should be circulated in the panchayats around Panchkula amongst people who are breeding dogs illegally so that they get themselves registered. As a result, records will get updated every month, illegal and abrupt breeding will end, and MC will earn revenue,\u201d says Shaurya Galhotra, President, Be-zubaan (Be the voice), another NPO dealing with dogs and working in liaison with Panchkula MC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 d-inline-block\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\">\n<div class=\"image-outer-right mb-3 fashion-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4793\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pit-470x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"470\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pit-470x400.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pit-208x177.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pit-383x326.jpg 383w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pit.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Jaws of Pitbull have a very strong crushing power<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p>\u201cIn India, Pitbull breeding is banned in India, what some breeders do is send the Pitbulls to <em>banjaras<\/em> (tribals roaming around rummaging garbage) for breeding and get the puppies and hybrid them with other breeds. There might be just about 10-15 pure Pitbulls across India, the others which look like Pitbulls are mixed breeds,\u201d explains Pankaj.<\/p>\n<p>What is it that makes Pitbulls and Rottweilers scary? \u201cThe jaws of the Pitbulls have a strong crushing power about 300 PSI, so even if they don\u2019t attack but if something gets under its jaws, the affected person doesn\u2019t get reaction time, and the harm is already done. So, they are not genetically aggressive, but genetically prone to bite heavily, \u201dsays Pankaj, who handles them every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-3\">\u201cAs far as Rottweilers are concerned, they are one of the most peaceful dogs, They are heavy, their body is pure muscle, so if their paw lands on somebody, they might surely not cause damage but for an inexperienced person, these dogs are difficult to handle,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block mt-2\" style=\"vertical-align: top; width: 100%;\"><span class=\"image-outer-left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-266x177.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rot.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Rottweilers have very strong paws<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p>Initially, the proposal introduced in the Panchkula MC \u00a0was to get all pets registered, but the discussion strayed to the so-called ferocious breeds. \u201cIntellectually viability of such decisions is not discussed and impromptu hasty decisions result in confusion,\u201d says Shaurya. The General House of Panchkula MC passed a resolution to put a ban on these two breeds. After the owners of Pitbulls and Rottweilers protested, it was decided that all those who have dogs of these two breeds must get them registered.<\/p>\n<p>Before the deadline of October 31,\u00a0 over 75 pitbulls and rottweilers were registered by their owners in the last two weeks before the deadline finished.<\/p>\n<p>Before the nitification, around 400 dogs were registered out of which eight were pitbulls and 14 were rottweilers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Rajesh, a resident of Sector 21, Panchkula, who owns a Pitbull says, \u201cThe municipal corporation\u2019s decision does not hold ground under Indian laws.
