Polish law refuses to euthanize killer dogs despite 27,000 annual bites and fatal attacks.
Go to the source page

44% of households own dogs. 27,000 confirmed bites occur yearly. Law blocks seizure of repeatedly attacking dogs. No euthanasia even after fatal human attacks. Dogs return home after rabies exclusion. Official dangerous breeds list is useless. Municipalities ignore citizen reports of threats. Western Europe allows seizure and euthanasia of risky dogs. Poland uniquely bans post-fatal euthanasia. Propisk changes could cover ''type'' of dangerous breeds. Greater owner responsibility would end breed threats. Attacks on animals treated as minor offenses. Serious bites lead only to dog transfer, not isolation. No preventive mechanisms exist. Victims and dogs remain at risk from repeat incidents.
