In Noida, a pitbull attacked a worker at a dog shelter, causing serious leg injuries that required hospitalization. The incident, captured on video, shows the dog biting the man’s leg repeatedly until he was rescued by colleagues. Pitbulls are known for their aggressive behavior, which has led to concerns over safety. In response to increasing dog attack incidents, last year the Indian government instructed states to ban the sale and breeding of 23 aggressive dog breeds, including pitbulls, American Bulldogs, and Rottweilers, among others, to mitigate risks associated with these animals.
