By: AP
CARACAS (AP). Venezuelan authorities restricted the ownership and possession of pit bulls, according to a new law that, among other things, prohibited from owning dogs, 2014 of this race.
With the new law on protection of domestic animals, which took effect Monday upon publication in the official gazette, was forbidden to import, reproduce, adopt, raise and market the pit bull, a name that usually includes at least two breeds of dogs : the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier.
The legislation was approved after several pit bull attacks against humans and force the current owners of these animals to keep them captives and take measures to prevent their escape. In February 2008 a child died two years after it was torn by family dog in a neighborhood northwest of Caracas.
The law does not specify what actions will be taken from 31 December 2014, when it shall be unlawful ownership of a pit bull.
The Act also substantially increased the amount of fines to punish animal abuse, the organization and conduct of fights with dogs, illegal trade in pets. The penalties are up $ 2,558 and also on the confiscation or animals.
The new law excluded the ban animal sacrifice for religious purposes, which include advocacy groups called on the regulations due to the boom that has taken on such practices with the popularity of religions such as Santeria.
In the U.S. there Dog Breeders Association of America that focuses on dogs who breed American Pit Bull Terriers and opposes laws that specifically target any breed of dog. Also try to remove the smear that found that race because of what they consider irresponsible practices of some owners and breeders.
"Dangerous dogs laws do not take into account the human factor and concentrate solely on the dog without considering what the dog does his master's responsibility"States the group in a document published on its website.
