Sad regards to Majlo and family  |
If we put put personal emotions and feelings aside, - they don't. According to law the breed is banned and Majlo illegally imported. Beeing a bit cynical: certain types of drugs are also illegally imported and will not be returned to the country of origin when discovered by national customs or police.
Of course the Majlo case is a sad one since an innocent animal is put to death due to the ignorance of its owners. But in this case the owners are to blame and no one else.
In a wider perspective the law allowing innocent animals to be put to death due to breed spesific legislation has to be changed and that is one of our aims when fighting against the law. The Majlo-case has been mentioned in our media as an example of cruel animal welfare and people are still hoping for a change by allowing the dog exported to its country of origing.
But if this had happened to a csv no one would care - the breed is commonly unknow to the public and not unlike Sweden the hate to wolves are strong among certain groups of our community.
