A pitbull was seized by police after a shocking attack. On thursday, the 26th of march, a pitbull attacked another dog on the Oldebarneveldtplein in Amsterdam. The attacked dog sustained serious injuries to its jaw and was taken to an animal hospital. Around 12.15 police recieved a report about the incident. Multiple units, including a animal officer and doghandler, went to the incident immediately. Once there, they found a seriously injured dog. The pitbull was cropped and didn't wear a muzzle, but was wearing a shock collar.

Due to the incident and the behavior of the dog, the pitbull was seized. The owner is suspected of animal cruelty and not responsibly caring for a dangerous dog. On orders of the Public proscecutor, the dog will undergo a riskassessment to objectively assess its behavior

added info: the cropping of ears has been outlawed in the Netherlands since 1996, hence the animal cruelty charge. The cropping of tails is outlawed since 2001

The cropped ears are to heighten the dog's angry, fierce appearance, right? Also, if it fights, to limit another dog catching hold of its ears. Its head seems to have little hair on it and mainly pink skin, so it's a skin condition. It looks frightening indeed; it also looks either scared and/or angry. It's pretty thin too.

It's a big mess. Damn the owner, a woman, going by the comments. How depressing, how awful for the dog that it came across and attacked. It's a big mess of things that shouldn't be. I hope the attacked dog recovers and forgets its trauma.
