"Dafne Moran Toha, defending the 11-year-old boy, said his behaviour was due to his "lack of maturity" and "very young age"."
Fuck that bullshit. There are hundreds of millions of young people with little maturity across the entire globe, and hardly any of them decide it will be a good idea to murder small animals. These boys are mentally ill in some form or another and need therapy or meds of some sort.
Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle.
Can't control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license.
Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs.
Don't understand how feeding and training works? No license for you.
Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well.
