Tragic news from Denmark, where a man committed suicide after his dog was taken away and euthanized.

The dog was taken away and killed in accordance with the current legislation on pit bulls. The dog had done nothing wrong, but he lived in an area where this breed was not allowed to stay.

This dog, called Zanto, belonged to Dan, 27 years old. Dan had eight days to prove to the authorities that his dog was not one of the prohibited species in Denmark.

After Dan was unable to provide this evidence, the authorities came to take Zanto from his home to euthanize him. Upset by this situation, unable to continue without his dog, and convinced that he had not been up to the situation, Dan overdosed on medication and did not survive.

On April 19, the Foreningen Fair Dog Fan Side Facebook page posted the following message:

“Zanto (the dog) was ripped out of Dan’s arms, (Zanto’s owner) because he looked like one of the now banned dog breeds, or mixture of both. Zanto had nothing done, he is a good, devoted and happy dog and has never done a fly mischief. The owner had 8 days to prove Zanto’s creator, but we all know that it is not a possible task.”
