Pitbull will be illegal from 2015

The canine race pitbull is its counted in Venezuela. To thus it has the Law it to the Protection the nonDangerous, Free Domestic Fauna and in Captivity, legal instrument that entered yesterday use and according to which nobody will be able to have a single unit of this species after the 31 of December of 2014. That is to say, who it owns to one of these dogs in 2015 he will be a violator.

For Lilibel De Matos, director of the NGO Zooikos, the object of the law is to preserve: “If they wanted to protect the human beings of a race whom they label as aggressive would have to eliminate several races, she llámese to rotweiller, chow-chow, etc.”. The conservationist, that in addition is proprietor of a unit of pitbull, adds that “according to the law for this year no longer they would have to be born pitbull more; but it would enchant to ask to me to him the promoters (of the norm) how they do when they have a fungus in the nails, are sent to cut the finger? For me that is what it is taking control of the law. A protection law must try to correct the human being to protect the domestic fauna and lamentably it is not thus. The solution is not to maintain locked up to pitbulls soon to disappear them; it is to control to who gives itself to him, to those who promote the fights and they do not give good education him to the animal”.

The legal text emphasizes that all proprietor of pitbull must register it before the municipal authorities, but also is clear when needing that they must “permanently maintain them in conditions of captivity” and from the 31-12-2014 “it is prohibited the property and possession of animal sayings”. For that reason De Matos has a restlessness: ”What will become in 2014 with the animal of that race that are alive and in perfect state of health? “. The leader of Zooikos adds that this canine race is as useful as any other: “In center of Zooterapia in the Samenes they use pitbulls for works with people with physical and psychological problems”.

Cristina Camilloni, president of the Association Pro Defense of the Animal, thinks that “a domestic animal to live on by life in a cage, among others vejámenes, is unnatural and cruel”. And in this sense she emphasizes that “we want a law macro, that she defends to all the animal of the different species, so that every day promotes plus the human feeling and the spirit of solidarity towards all alive being”.
