Mozambique’s agriculture ministry has banned the import of dog breeds considered to be dangerous. | |
The decision is aimed at combatting the numerous dog attacks that have been reported all | |
over the Southern African country. | |
Dog bites are common in Mozambique. In the first half of last year, around 9,000 people were bitten, a reduction of 21% from 2022. | |
Some of the attacks have ended in serious injuries, amputations and even death. | |
The ban affects 26 breeds, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, bull | |
terriers, bullmastiffs, German Shepherds, and Boerboels. | |
The measure however excludes dogs used by public security agencies, private security companies and disaster and rescue services. | |
Guide dogs and companion dogs for disabled people are also exempt. | |
All banned breeds that are already in the country, as well as their cross-breeds, must be registered with the authorities within 60 days. | |
