Montreal-area pit bull to be euthanized after attack on young boy
MONTREAL — A recent dog attack on a seven-year-old Montreal boy shows the importance of the city’s new anti-pit bull bylaw, a borough mayor said Monday.
The new law “is essential,” Verdun Mayor Jean-Francois Parenteau told Radio-Canada.
“It’s not about not liking animals,” he said. “It’s about prioritizing the human.”
On Sunday a dog registered with the city as a pit bull attacked a boy in his family home.
