Just another reason why I love Israel...
Israel Bans Raising of Dangerous Dogs
Following the killing last week of a four-year-old Israeli girl, Aviva Ganon, by an American Staffordshire Terrier, the Ministry of Agriculture has prepared a set of regulations that will prohibit eight "dangerous" breeds of dogs from being raised in Israel, MA'ARIV reported. Ganon's death was the first case in Israel in which a person was killed by a dog attack. Ganon, who was home at the time with her mother, sustained serious wounds to the neck and face and was pronounced dead by Magen David Adom medics upon their arrival.
The new regulations require that dogs considered dangerous that are already in Israel be neutered by the end of the year. Included in the ban are Bull Terriers, Pitbulls and Rottweilers. Meanwhile, Minister of Agriculture Yisrael Katz instructed Dr. Zvi Galin, the municipal veterinarian of Tel Aviv, today to immediately put to sleep the dog that mauled Ganon to death in Tel Aviv.

If that isn't proof of Israel's humanity and morale, then I don't know what is.
