Titolo: Sull'utilita' delle leggi razziali

Riporto un articolo tratto dalla rivista ufficiale della polizia tedesca in
merito agli effetti delle leggi sui "cani pericolosi".
Vi prego di leggerlo per capire quello che sta realmente accadendo in Germania
e che, alcuni, augurano anche per l'Italia.
Dato che e' molto lungo ho tradotto solo alcuni passaggi fondamentali.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       "Deutsche Polizei", Gewerkschaftszeitung
"KILLERS OUT OF CONTROL... WHO MURDER, THREATEN AND TEAR APART..." "Fear of 
Biting Beasts", "Killer Fighting Dogs Rampaging through Germany" ..and
similarly captioned tirades of the last weeks by tabloids and formerly 
respectable dailies and weeklies all have hit the same gutter level now.
Numerous journalists and moderators are agitating and stirring up emotions, 
indiscriminately mixing emotionalism with facts , and demanding in unison that
all "killer beasts" be rooted out, sterilized, killed or incarcerated.
All dogs labeled as killers and their offspring are now characterized as 
"devil dogs". This includes breeds with spotless reputations for merely being
of a certain height or weight, which are now accused of being potentially 
unpredictable, dangerous weapons in the hands of their owners
[Molti giornalisti fanno leva sulle emozioni mischiando *indiscriminatamente*
 l'emotivita' con i fatti e domandando all'unisono che tutte "le bestie
 assassine" siano sterilizzate, uccise o incarcerate. Tutti i cani 
 etichettati come killer, magari razze dalla reputazione *immacolata*, per
 il semplice fatto di avere un determinato peso e/o altezza sono accusate
 di esser pericolose ed imprevedibili armi nelle mani dei loro proprietari]
Leading politicians are jumping into this debate for the main purpose of
self-aggrandizement and enhancing their personal stature and agenda
by promising immediate help in dealing with "The Problem": through rash
enactment of new laws and regulations.
[I politici si fiondano in questo dibattito con l'unico scopo di farsi grandi
 e migliorare la loro posizione promettendo aiuto immediato per affrontare il
 "problema": mediante l'emanazione di leggi e regolamenti *avventati*]
For thoughtful people, the hysteria caused by these events, which has unleashed
a country-wide rage, is inexplicable. This suggests that the artificially
created fever pitch of emotions by the media and politicians is based on far
deeper and darker reasons. In the present climate, which is marked by great
dissatisfaction of many citizens with the conduct of politicians with regard
to social and labor market problems, it appears to be a politically motivated
tactic to divert attention from the real problems and channel the public's
frustration away from the actual issues toward a new "enemy" all can agree on,
i.e., "fighting dogs", no matter how arbitrarily that label is affixed. This is
meant to illustrate the willingness and ability of elected officials to deal
with real problems. Dogs then, become easy targets to redirect hatred and
frustrations, because any tragic incident, coupled with an innate fear in some
people of the "wolf descendants" of long ago, are used to inflame as are the
pictures of dog teeth bared, ready to attack and mutilate. Thus a collective
outcry for protection of humans, particularly children, makes sense, yet
leaves a rational person wondering why there was no similar outcry and demand
for new laws when shortly after young Volkan's deaths, six other children from
different families were murdered in their sleep by their fathers in the wake of
divorce battles. This is by no means a rare occurrence anymore, nor are the
gruesome murders of foreign-born citizens in their new homeland. 
[L'isteria provocata dai media a dai politici e' basata su motivi piu'
 reconditi. Nelle attuali condizioni, caratterizzate dalla grande
 insoddisfazione di molti cittadini in merito ai problemi economici e del
 lavoro, il distogliere l'attenzione dai problemi reali e canalizzare la
 frustrazione del pubblico verso nuovi "nemici" su cui tutti possano
 convergere (vale a dire i "cani da combattimento", non importa quanto
 arbitraria possa essere questa etichetta) pare avere motivazioni puramente
 politiche. [omissis]
 I cani, allora, divengono un facile bersaglio su cui indirizzare l'odio e le
 frustrazioni, perche' ogni tragico incidente, supportato dalla paura innata,
 in alcune persone, dei "discendenti dei lupi" viene sfruttato. [omissis]
 Sebbene la necessita' di tutelare l'uomo, i bambini in particolare, sia
 importante, tuttavia rimane, nella persona raziocinante, il dubbio sul
 perche', dopo la morte del giovane Volkan, non ci sia stato un impegno
 analogo per risolvere problemi piu' gravi (si fa riferimento ad omicidi
 omicidi dovuti all'intolleranza raziale).]
Another suspect and irresponsible aspect of the current anti-dog regulations
is that they are touted as intended to protect people and particularly
children, rather than as a means of mass-control of dog owners and the
extermination of dangerous dogs. Considering that, according to official
statistics, last year 318 children were killed in traffic accidents and
another 48,838 injured, why does this not rate more serious regulation of
reckless drivers? To direct regulatory efforts against dogs instead of the 
criminal conduct of irresponsible owners of aggressive dogs, is equivalent to
lawmakers taking away the car of a reckless driver so he cannot endanger
someone else in the future with that particular vehicle. 
[Indirizzare gli sforzi legislativi contro i cani al posto dei conduttori
 irresponsabili e criminali equivale al comportamento di un legislatore che si
 limita a sequestrare la macchina al guidatore sconsiderato in modo che non
 possa piu' investire altri pedoni *con quell particolare veicolo* ]
Unfortunately, in the inflammatory reporting of bite incidents, it is rarely
mentioned that, as in the Hamburg case, aggressive dogs act usually at the
command or instigation of their owners. Thus we have bad regulations with
terrible consequences, ignoring the problem at the other end of the leash. 
[Sfortunatamente, nei resoconti tendenziosi degli incidenti, raramente si
 menziona il fatto che, come nel caso di Amburgo, il cane agisce per comando
 o *istigazione del proprietario*. Cosi' ci troviamo ad avere 
 *cattivi regolamenti con terribili conseguenze*, 
 *ignorando che il vero problema e' all'altro capo del guinzaglio*.]
The death of little Volkan and the often shown pictures of terribly mutilated
bodies attributed to dog attacks, are merely the end result of a 
long-standing, sad historical development. 
There can be no argument that part of the breeds now designated as killer dogs
-- Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers -- have served humans for many decades as
watch and protection dogs, scent hounds, etc. Any of these breeds in humane and
caring hands should surely be protected by law rather than discriminated
against.
[..... tutte queste razze, quando affidate a mani che ne hanno cura, 
 dovrebbero, senza alcun dubbio, *esser protette* dalla legge anziche' esser
 discriminate.]
Furthermore it should be remembered that veterinarians, humane organization 
experts and serious breeders, while encouraging development of
protective traits, have at the same time, long demanded stricter import
criteria for dogs of all breeds to prevent danger to the public and police in
pursuit of their duty in house searches, etc. On the other hand, it is a
well-known fact that for some time fighting dogs have been obtained by a
subculture of young, unemployed German and foreign men, especially in large
cities, who acquire them as a status symbol and weapon. Until recently dog
advertisements have even contained brags about the aggressiveness bred into
certain dogs, while the Police and those in charge of overseeing the
importation and sale of dogs were either too understaffed to deal with this
situation, or lacked the technical know-how to do so. 
[(mentre ci si agitava a con regolamenti improvvisati) la Polizia e
 coloro che sono incaricati di sorvegliare l'importazione e la vendita dei
 cani erano a corto di personale per provvedere a questi compiti o mancavano
 del necessario know-how per farlo]
As soon as various breeds were designated by the authorities as fighting dogs,
communities all over the country rushed in with new taxes for the designated
breeds. This most welcome increase in tax monies had, however, the opposite
effect from the stated intent. Since, especially in large cities, many dogs of
the effected breeds are either not registered or their owners are on welfare,
the new taxation merely led to greater discrimination against responsible
owners and their dogs, and spread great fear through the population. Many of
those subject to the high new taxes could no longer afford to keep their pets
licensed and therefore turned them over to already overloaded pounds, while 
others were forced to relinquish their pets under pressure from landlords and
neighbors. 
[Appena si sono designate le varie "razze pericolose", in tutta la nazione
 si sono introdotte nuove tasse per detenerle. Questa tassazione ha avuto,
 pero', effetto opposto rispeto agli intenti. Dal momento che, specialmente
 nelle grandi citta', molti cani "pericolosi" non sono registrati, la nuova
 tassazione si e' limitata a discriminare al massimo grado i proprietari
 *responsabili* ed i *loro cani*, nonche' a gettare molti proprietari in uno
 stato di grande paura. Molte persone, non potendo permettersi di pagare le
 nuove esose tasse, sono state costrette a lasciare il cane in canili
 gia' straripanti; molti sono stati obbligati, sotto la pressione dei
 vicini, a disfarsi del loro cane]
Owners of actual fighters, outside the mainstream, on the other hand, are
actually viewing the special taxes as a welcome increase in prestige among
their peers, entitling them to anti-social behavior and rights.
[I possessori dei veri cani da combattimento, al contrario, vedono in questa
 tassazione speciale un modo di incrementare il loro prestigio fra i loro
 pari; come qualcosa che li autorizza ad ogni comportamento anti-sociale.]
At this time, officials within the police and dog law enforcement agencies are
truly confounded by the puzzle of how to interpret the new "Fighting Dog"
regulations in a meaningful manner, for all indications are that they cannot
reach their goals due to any number of factors:
a. Who, within the regulatory agencies is qualified to identify mixed breeds
   without error, especially if an owner cannot produce a pedigree or has 
   falsified papers? 
b. How do you locate the underground dog population in the "Danger Group"
   category, most of which are not registered/licensed and therefore subject
   to identification and seizure unless somebody denounces them, which is not
   too likely within this sub-culture?
[Allo stato attuale delle cose, la polizia non ha modo di applicare questi
 nuovi regolamenti, in maniera significativa, per molte ragioni:
 a. Chi puo' identificare con sicurezza gli incroci di un meticcio?
 b. Come localizzare i veri cani da combattimento, in gran parte non
    registrati e quindi non soggetti ad identificazione a meno di una assai
    improbabile denuncia da parte di altri criminali?]
In Berlin, these owners of aggressive dogs are lying low right now, waiting 
"for the storm to pass". Some enhance their standing in the informal fighting
dog trading posts by having dogs on hand before rising demand created by the
crisis drives up the cost of replacement dogs. Some have already switched to
other breeds, for any puppy can be turned vicious when beaten, isolated,
mutilated, etc. to force it into abject obedience, thus turning into a deadly
weapon. 
[A Berlino, alcuni di questi proprietari-criminali stanno mantenendo un
 profilo basso, aspettando "che il temporale passi". Alcuni stanno
 migliorando la loro situazione in attesa che la crescente domanda di cani
 da combattimento faccia crescere i prezzi.
 Alcuni *si sono gia' rivolti ad altre razze*, dal momento che *ogni* cucciolo
 puo' essere reso aggressivo e pericoloso purche' *picchiato*, *isolato*,
 *mutilato* etc. e *cosi' indotto ad un'abietta obbedienza* e 
 *solo cosi' reso un'arma letale*]
Some of this element has moved away to isolated areas of Germany where they 
believe they'll remain undisturbed in breeding and training new fighting dogs.
They will also send unscrupulous middlemen with phony papers to pounds to bail
out any of their impounded hounds -- which they have reported as missing.
Criminal dog owners will steal or buy certificates of harmlessness, pedigrees,
and the required "harmless" insignia (plakettes) as they are already doing in
Berlin. To them, a muzzle is nothing but a status symbol and their falsely 
certified dogs are still being openly trained in public parks. To satisfy 
their blood sport, this has also led to increased theft of cats and small
dogs, which are being sacrificed in training these dogs to fight, leaving
mutilated pets to be discovered by passersby whose fears of dogs and anger 
against all dogs is thus fueled.
[I criminali hanno cominciato a rubare i certificati ed i pedigree di cani
 non pericolosi (la situazione e' riferita a Berlino). Per loro una museruola
 altro non e' che uno status symbol e i loro cani, con falsi certificati,
 vengono anche ora tranquillamente addestrati in parchi pubblici. Per
 soddisfare il loro sanguinoso sport, si e' registrato un incremento fra i
 furti di gatti e piccoli cani, che vengono sacrificati per l'addestramento
 al combattimento. Carcasse mutilate vengono frequentemente scoperte da
 passanti la cui paura e rabbia nei confronti dei cani viene cosi'
 ulteriormente incoraggiata.]
THE INVISIBLE DAMAGE -- ANIMAL PROTECTION IS ALSO PROTECTION OF THE CHILDREN
Recent government acts have turned a child's pet dog, the super-dog of TV
shows, the friendly neighborhood pooch into a fearsome beast, out to murder us
all. Endless pictures of tooth-baring, threatening dogs with bloodshot eyes,
ready to chew through iron bars -- along with pictures of dogs executed, lying
next to the body of a dead child, and photos of fear-distorted adult faces --
all serve to frighten children, especially the very young who have no means of
distinguishing fact from fiction. It gives them nightmares, panic attacks,
phobias against all dogs and may increase their own aggressiveness. 
[(riferendosi allo stato di cose proposto dai media).... tutto questo
 terrorizza i bambini, specialmente i piu' piccoli che non hanno mezzi per
 distinguere la finzione dalla realta'. Gli procura incubi, attacchi di
 panico, fobie verso tutti i cani]
The ensuing insecurity, fanned by deliberate sensationalism leading to panic, 
creates a constant fear for children, especially in the context of their own
parents' fears. It is a well-known fact that children exposed to extreme
situations, such as wars and natural disasters, can come through such
experiences without harm when they are secure in their parents' protection.
However when parents themselves suffer from a high level of anxiety and
insecurity, and try to protect their children against all potentially
threatening situations, they will find that their children are unable to deal
with them in a flexible and sensible manner. Avoidance of fearful situations
then, is virtually impossible as children are likely to encounter dogs every
day. This will only be reinforced if a frightened child tries to run away,
while a dog's natural instinct for the chase kicks in.
Overanxious parents will, at this point, demand that the authorities do
something to protect them and eliminate all potential risks from their lives,
as for example, shown in increasing demands following the Hamburg incident, to
fence all school grounds to make them more secure. Families which suffer from
extreme fearfulness just know that their children will become victims of
dangerous dogs. And when their children have no real life experience with the
majority of dogs which are friendly family members, the psychological damage
can be severe and long lasting.
[(si accenna al fatto che l'attuale stato di cose ha prodotto danni
 psicologici gravi e duraturi nei bambini)] 
In unstable families or those threatened by dissolution, the externalization
of the problem by redirecting if against the neighborhood dogs may diffuse a
bad situation temporarily by projecting aggressiveness and lack of control of a
disruptive family member upon dogs, which then become substitute targets for
fear and anger -- but that certainly does not resolve the real problems. 
[(si accenna al fatto che il cane del vicino sta diventando un mezzo per
 scaricare paure, rabbia ed aggressivita' represse)]
The trauma inflicted upon children in families with pets who are forced to
give them up under the new regulations, either because of neighborhood
pressures or because they did not pass the new temperament tests administered
under very nrealistic and adverse conditions, is equally if not more
traumatic. It takes no great imagination to see the permanent damage to a
child's development when a dog it grew up with is being relinquished by its
parents to a "dog home" where it will certainly be killed. Most likely this
will produce anger, distress and a long-standing guilt feeling, not to mention
the rage at parents who are unable to protect a beloved pet from such fate.
Such conflicts can turn a normal child into a problem child, requiring special
schooling and psychiatric counseling to prevent its feelings from turning
anti-social and destructive. 
[Il trauma inflitto a bambini le cui famiglie sono state costrette a
 disfarsi del loro cane a causa delle pressioni dei vicini o perche' il
 cane non aveva superato il nuovo test sul temperamento (condotto in
 condizioni avverse e assolutamente non realistiche) non e' minore. Non ci
 vuole una grande immaginazione per vedere il danno permanente per lo
 sviluppo di un bambino quando il cane con cui e' cresciuto deve esser
 abbandonato in un posto in cui verra' ucciso. Questa situazione produce
 rabbia, angoscia ed un duraturo senso di colpa, per non menzionare l'odio
 verso genitori che non sono stati in grado di proteggere l'amato animale
 da un tale destino. Conflitti di questo genere portano un bambino a
 diventare problematico, fino al punto da richiedere la consulenza di
 psicologi per evitare che questi sentimenti si traducano in comportamenti
 distruttivi ed anti sociali]
It is highly likely that from now on, families with small children may forego
the acquisition of a family dog entirely, which means that their children will
grow up without ever knowing the positive influence of a pet to play with or
teach them responsibility, respect and socialization.
[E' probabile che, da ora, famiglie con bambini piccoli eviteranno l'adozione
 di *ogni tipo di cane*; cio' significa che i bambini cresceranno senza mai
 conoscere l'influenza positiva di una animale con cui giocare e che
 insegni loro il significato di termini quali responsabilita', rispetto e
 socializzazione]
DO YOU LOVE CHILDREN OR CURS?
Human v. Animal Protection
The present hysteria poisons the social climate of our lives by pitting dog
haters vs. dog lovers. In our large cities, owners of large dogs dare no
longer be out in public during daytime. They are afraid of sudden, irrational
hate attacks they may encounter. Even in small communities, they are being
spit at, threatened, and cussed out ("why is that killer dog out without a
muzzle? Why is that piece of crap not killed off yet?") Their dogs, even if
they do not fall within the "forbidden" size and weight range, are readily
considered fighting dogs whether they resemble a targeted breed or not, and
are likely to get beaten up and worse. In one small town, a bunch of young men
ripped the leash of a Staffordshire Terrier from its owner's hands, doused it 
with gasoline and burned it to death in front of its frantic, helpless owner.
Such events lead to long-range trauma, especially for victims of previous
violence and assault. Such aggressiveness from fellow citizens is very likely
going to deepen previous trauma and destroy a person's life. 
[La presente isteria avvelena le nostre vite contrapponendo i cinofili a chi
 odia i cani. Nelle nostre grandi citta', i proprietari di cani grossi non
 osano piu' uscire in pubblico nelle ore diurne. Sono spavantati dal rischio
 di improvvisi ed irrazionali attacchi di rabbia da parte di coloro che
 possono incontrare. Anche in piccole comunita' alcuni sputano contro di loro,
 li maledicono e li minacciano ("perche' quel pezzo di merda non e' ancora
 stato ucciso?"). I loro cani, anche se non ricadono nella categoria di quelli
 "proibiti", per peso ed altezza, sono immediatamente considerati cani da
 combattimento anche se non li ricordano neanche lontanamente. Vengono 
 facilmente picchiati quando non uccisi. In una cittadina un gruppo di giovani
 si e' impossessato di uno Staffordshire Terrier, al guinzaglio col suo 
 padrone; ha cosparso l'animale con benzina bruciandolo vivo di fronte al suo
 disperato proprietario. Eventi di questo tipo distruggono la vita di una
 persona.]
The danger of serious incidents increases in the even more aggressive 
atmosphere of larger cities with a constituency of young disaffected men who 
own actual fighting dogs and live on the fringe of society. Some undoubtedly
suffered early traumatization of their own so are now ready to overreact to 
the slightest provocation, leading to increasing incidents of unprovoked
attacks on dog owners and their pets. In this supercharged atmosphere in the
streets, fears and tensions spell permanent danger for dog owners. This 
escalates into more overt conflict, attacks and confrontations at the
slightest excuse. 
[(Si accenna al fatto che la situazione sta rapidamente degenerando, in 
 particolar modo nelle grandi citta', dove si registrano incidenti sempre piu'
 frequenti)]
Many large dogs are taken out only at night to "do their business". At the
same time, it turns heretofore tolerant citizens into vigilantes who now call
the police far more frequently to deal with imaginary nuisances, such as dogs
playing in a park, whom they consider a potential threat to children.
Neighborhood disputes are now taken out on dogs, with harmless incidents being
blown out of proportion. With diminished trust and communication between the
people, there is increasing defamation, complaints filed and even mobbing, and
many people who are accused of harboring a dangerous dog are now being evicted
from their homes.
[...... comuni cittadini si sono trasformati in vigilates che chiamano la
 polizia continuamente perche' sentono rumori, tipo quelli di cani che giocano
 in un parco, e li considerano potenziali pericoli per i bambini......]
NOBODY MAY INJURE AN ANIMAL OR INFLICT PAIN WITHOUT GOOD REASON
(Para. 2, Animal Protection Laws)
Aside from the pain and suffering inflicted on dog owners these days, the laws
of the land addressing the well-being of our animal companions are falling
victim to ill-considered new regulations within the various regions, and
appear to be forgotten in the rush of unscientific and unsound "solutions" to 
the so-called problem. 
Even the highest ranking representatives of our political parties who claim to
be representing nature and environmental concerns as their agenda, have
propounded radical measures in violation of nature's sensible and intricate 
system within which every living thing is entitled to protection. Once 
violated, such willful interference hurts a great many more creatures than 
those which are supposed to be the actual target. 
The hastily drafted new regulations ignore important sections of the exiting
animal protection laws: 
Wolfgang Apel, Head of the German Animal Protection Agency, asks what will
happen to the 50,000 impounded dogs, already relinquished, impounded as 
"fighting dogs", or picked up as strays -- large dogs, mixed breeds, who are
already vegetating in the country's 500 totally overcrowded facilities? Most
of these dog homes refuse to be turned into slaughter-houses. Even the
drafters of the new regulations know very well that they must obey the animal
protection laws which prohibit the killing of all dogs who do not pass the 
so-called personality tests. 
[(si parla del fatto che i canili non possono piu' accettare cani; i 
  responsabili dei canili non vogliono trasformare un rifugio in un macello)]
Furthermore, they did not take into consideration the many factors which would
unfavorably influence the results of these tests which are just in the draft
stage without any meaningful guidelines for actual application. Frequently,
travel to the test site is very long, such as in Niedersachsen where people 
have to travel with their dogs to the Veterinary School in Hanover. The long
trip through strange surroundings causes much stress for a dog, heightened by
the owner's fear, anger, apprehension and sorrow in such a threatening
situation as the possible loss of their dog if it fails to pass the test.
Surely, under such stressful and unfavorable circumstances, it stands to
reason that many dogs will not show the stability they would exhibit under
normal conditions. 
[(si parla dei test a cui vengono sottoposti i proprietari di cane. Prima di
 affrontare il test devono fare lunghi viaggi per raggiungere posti lontani,
 ed affrontare prove in situazioni irreali. Senza tener conto dello stato
 d'animo del proprietario: se il cane fallisce viene sequestrato e soppresso)]
In addition, the steep cost of this test arouses suspicions that it is
designed to be used as an arbitrary selection criteria to eliminate as many
dogs as possible. What then happens to a dog who does not pass this 
personality test? Who reimburses the owner whose dog is taken from him without
concrete proof that it is, in fact, dangerous? 
The overcrowded pounds are no longer capable of meeting their mission of 
accepting all these rejected dogs. And even though there is talk about those
dogs being made available for adoption, there are no provisions in the new
regulations which would clarify whether and to whom impounded dogs may be
released. The confusion is further compounded by the difference among the
provinces as to which breeds are dangerous and which are not, i.e., in some
areas Rottweilers and Dobermans are designated as fighting dogs, but not in
others. Today its Pittbulls, tomorrow Retrievers. 
[......la confusione e' ancor maggiore per il fatto che regioni differenti
 reputano pericolose razze diverse. Oggi il pit bull, domani i retriever]
Between the current agitation and hysteria, anxiety and animosity, it is hard
to imagine that there will soon be friendly cooperation once again after all 
the havoc caused by the irresponsible politicians and their disparate agendas.
A bitter aftertaste is bound to remain for a long time from here on out, and 
the very real fear is that if the target population changes under the pressure
of political tensions caused by the current situation, other minorities will
become targets of collective aggression. 
For all these reasons, it is imperative that we must return to an objective, 
calm and rational approach to "the problem". It is important to realize that
people and animals must be better protected against truly aggressive dogs, for
every dog is potentially dangerous in the wrong hands and can be turned into a
weapon. However, instead of mass killings of entire breeds, new laws must be
designed by experts in this area, and enactment of new laws must be phased in
with a longer, more reasonable lead time to avoid further damages through the
senseless panic which now rules.
[Per tutte queste ragioni e' imperativo che si torni in una situazione di
 calma ed obiettivita', adottando un approccio razionale al problema......
 ..... ogni cane e' potenzialmente pericoloso quando cade nelle mani sbagliate,
 le leggi in questo settore devono esser scritte da esperti............]
The German Veterinarians and the Animal Protection agencies demand the
following: 
That instead of categorizing animals on "Kampfhund" lists, breed-neutral
individual assessments must be set up along with testing for responsible dog
ownership, counseling needs to be provided for problem animals, and a dog
keeping license must be instituted. Personality tests must be conducted by
qualified examiners and be breed-specific, along with the closing of any 
loopholes in the existing laws governing the breeding, maintenance and
importation of dogs into this country. Equally important are educational
programs in schools, starting with Kindergarten, to lay the groundwork for
meaningful and safe dog/man relationships. Stronger measures should be
undertaken to integrate unemployed and foreign juveniles in all regions, to
alleviate their need to use dogs as a substitute for low self-esteem.
In the Hamburg sector of Wilhelmsburg, citizens -- half of which are
foreign-born -- decided after Volkan's death not to seek revenge or
recriminations against the guilty parties and instead to institute greater 
efforts to integrate at risk /alienated youths.
