Bill Aims To Regulate “Dangerous” Dogs in Costa Rica

(There’s a great deal of confusion associated with the label “pit bull.”
This isn’t surprising because the term doesn’t describe a single breed of dog)

Have you seen this new bill being proposed:

Bill would required owners of dangerous dogs to have a license.

A bill introduced by Partido Liberacion Nacional (PLN) legislator, Ileana Brenes and currently being discussed in Committee, aims to establish regulations for “potentially dangerous” dogs.

The legislator says the introduced the legislation to ensure their safety of people against dangerous dogs.

The law would require anyone possessing, breeding, training, transporting and handling of potential dangerous dogs, to be licensed and carry third party liability insurance. If the license is not obtained, the dog could be confiscated and kept in a shelter until the owner obtains the license.

Brenes says municipalities would be responsible for issuing licenses and creating municipal centre for the shelter of the animals. To finance the program, municipalities could charge a license fee.
