Putrajaya has clarified the issue:Dr Aziz also gave assurance that the department and local councils would not seize banned breeds from their owners as they had legal right to keep their pets unless the animals caused “injury or trouble,” adding that such breeds should be neutered to deter unlawful breeding.
He said owners with banned breeds like the American Pit Bull, Argentinean Mastiff and Japanese Tosa would be questioned on where they got the animals from and how well they knew about taking care of them.
Hope this clarifies.
Thank you. Hannah
I've sought further clarification regarding the rule on muzzling and will update once I receive any news.
