The Department of Public Safety of the City of Dénia, following a request from the councilor of GDCU Miguel Llobell, has launched a campaign with information, advice and obligations when it comes to having a potentially dangerous dog.
Through information leaflets, users will be able to have within their reach the rules that govern the possession of this type of animal, in which premium that, if the owner is responsible and complies with the regulations, the dog does not have to be dangerous .
Councilor for Citizen Security, Javier Scotto, Explained that these brochures can be obtained in the offices of OMIC and in stores and animal establishments, which have joined the campaign.
Rules if you have a potentially dangerous dog
- Must be over 18 years old and lack criminal background
- There must be a certificate of psychological suitability and civil liability insurance for the minimum amount of coverage of 120.000 euros
- The dog must have a passport that includes the vaccines and the identification chip
- It is necessary to request in the City Council the license for the possession of the dog, that will be enrolled in the corresponding register and must be renewed every five years
Tips If You Have A Potentially Dangerous Dog
- You can not buy or sell potentially dangerous animals to anyone without a license. In addition, breeders, trainers and traders of potentially dangerous animals must have adequate facilities or facilities for their holding
- They can not be abandoned, let loose or escape, and in public places must have muzzle approved and suitable for their race. In addition it must go with a strap or chain of less than two meters, non-extendable, that allows the dominion over the animal at all times
- These rules apply to both the owner and the person who walks the animal when it is necessary to justify that everything is in order, under minimum sanction of 3.000 euros
- There is a special legislation in the Comunitat Valenciana (Decree 16 / 2015, of 6 of February, of the Consell, of the decree 145 / 2000, of 26 of September) that regulates the tenure of potentially dangerous animals.
And it seems to me very well, people are bent on having these kind of pets, but it ignores the ordinances, last month, a Siberian haskie, bit my Valencian mousetrap of 5 kg. And the owner's name was walks, and he left so cheerfully.
And the new regulations of all dogs of 20kg or higher that have to carry muzzle and insurance obligatory, is not said anything? Because they are persecuted only to the bad considered as dangerous and not to all as marks the law?
Whoever has PPP to get the license because if they crack us. I am paying 2.400 eur for not having the license. They do not forgive anything so you know… better safe than sorry.
