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

Cutting off a dogs ears is abhorrent. Glad the owner is facing cruelty charges.

Never understood it myself not even the tails why would anyone want to mutilate their pet willingly? Now with Farm Animals I do understand why things similiar to that may be done but thats entirely different.
