Pitbulls banned in Rio de Janeiro

According to the Brasilian newspaper O Globo, you won’t be seeing too many more pitbulls around public spaces in Rio de Janeiro (Reuters has a small article as well). Although many people depend on (attack) dogs like pitbulls as a form of protection against robbery and other crimes, it’s common knowledge that the general nature of this particular breed is vicious.

Rosinha Matheus, the governor of Rio, has implemented a ban on breeding, importing, and selling of these dogs as well as a mandatory resistration and sterilization of the remaining pitbulls over the next four months.

As a side note, pitbull is also a stereotypical “tough guy” in Rio. They usually are bulging at the seams with muscles, have no necks, and are hopelessly attracted to half-naked blondes with no brains (these blondes usually preferring “doggiestyle” as a favorite position although in Brasil it’s referred to as “Fried Chicken” style). Statistically speaking, 98% are into judo or ultimate fighting, and consequentially have pitbulls as pets. Lemme stop, this is getting ridiculous.

Where my dogs at?
