Vienna’s Jewish community blasted a dog magazine for using yellow stars in a campaign fighting ‘racism’ against attack dogs, and criticized the choice of a Nazi-era symbol.
Authorities in the Austrian capital are currently assessing whether to introduce a special owner’s license for dog breeds that are considered especially dangerous or aggressive, a measure that has incensed many dog owners in Vienna.
Wuff magazine had issued fliers showing two puppies, a labrador retriever and a pit bull terrier. The pit bull bears a yellow star in the shape of the Star of David with the word ‘evil’ on it.
The publishers reacted to the criticism by saying they would replace the star with a red circle in the future.
