EMontreal, inja yaseMelika iPig Bull Terrier ihlasele isakhamuzi esineminyaka engu-55 ubudala yakuluma. Manje iziphathimandla sezishaye umthetho ohlose ukubhujiswa ngokuphelele "kwabantu" bendawo bama-pit bull.
Ngokwesiteshi se-CBC, kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo, kuzobe kungekho emthethweni ukuthenga nokuzala i-American Pit Bull Terriers eMontreal, eQuebec, eCanada. Lo mthethosivivinywa ubusekelwa iningi lamakhansela wedolobha. Lesi sinqumo senziwe ezinyangeni ezintathu ngemuva kokuhlaselwa kwenja yalolu hlobo kumuntu oneminyaka engu-55 ubudala waseMontreal, okwagcina ngokufa kwakhe.
Kuliqiniso, ezinsukwini ezimbili ezedlule, abaphikisana nalo mthetho-sisekelo babamba umbhikisho eduze kwehholo ledolobha, kodwa umkhandlu wedolobha wakushaya indiva. Lo mthetho ekuqaleni bekufanele ubhekwe ngo-2018, kepha ukuhlaselwa kwe-pit bull okukhulunywe ngakho kwashintsha izinhlelo zabomthetho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanye amadolobha esifundazweni saseQuebec manje ancike ezinyathelweni ezifanayo.
Ukucekela phansi ama-pit bulls kuzokwenza izindlela ezinobuntu. Ngokomthetho omusha, bonke abanikazi bezinja zalolu hlobo kuzofanele babhalise izilwane zabo ezifuywayo futhi bathole nezimvume ezikhethekile. Lokhu kufanele kwenziwe ngaphambi kokuqala konyaka ozayo lapho umthetho uqala ukusebenza. Ngaphandle kwalokho, izinja ngeke zivunyelwe ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwedolobha. Inhloso yalo mthetho ukulinda kuze kubulawe zonke izinkunzi zasendaweni ezingama-pit bulls ngezimbangela zemvelo. Uma lokhu kwenzeka (okuzothatha isikhathi esingaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi nesigamu, ngoba isikhathi sokuphila se-pit bull yiminyaka eyi-10-12), kuzobekwa ukuvinjelwa okuphelele ebukhoneni balezi zinja endaweni yaseMontreal.
Okwamanje, abanikazi bamanje be-pit bulls kufanele bahambise kuphela izilwane ezifuywayo ngezifinyila nakuma-leashes angekho ngaphezu kwamasentimitha ayi-125 ubude. Futhi kuzokwehliswa ukuthi kutholakale leash kuphela ezindaweni ezinocingo okungenani lwamamitha amabili.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi esifundazweni sase-Ontario, esiseduze neQuebec, sekuvalwe ngokuphelele izinkunzi ezingama-pit bull. Izinja zalolu hlobo nazo azivunyelwe ekuhambeni. Ngingathanda ukwazi ukuthi ngabe lokhu kusizile yini ukunciphisa inani lokuhlaselwa kwezinja kubantu. Abaphikisi bezinqumo ezinjalo baphikisa ngokuthi ama-pit bull awahlaseli abantu kaningi kunabamele ezinye izinhlobo, futhi idumela elibi le-pit bull terrier yaseMelika akuyona nje into eyenziwe yizintatheli. Ngokweseka amazwi abo, bacaphuna izibalo. Ngokusho kwabafuyi bezinja, izinqumo ezinje azisona nje isifiso seziphathimandla sokwenza isithombe sabavikeli babantu phambi kwabantu basemadolobheni abasatshiswa abezindaba.
