Understand How The New Law Transforms The Breeding Of Pitbulls In Teutônia And Brings Heavy Fines For Those Who Disregard The Rules.
The City Council of Teutônia, Rio Grande do Sul, approved last Tuesday, September 19, 2024, a new law that regulates the breeding and circulation of pitbulls in the municipality. The initiative, led by councilwoman Neide Jaqueline Schwarz, aims to promote public safety and prevent incidents involving the breed, known for its strength and potentially aggressive temperament.
What Changes With The New Law?
With the unanimous approval, the law establishes strict measures to address the breeding and circulation of pitbulls. The main guidelines include:
Ban on Breeding and Selling: It will no longer be permitted to breed or sell dogs of this breed in Teutônia.

Population Control: Existing dogs must be sterilized, a measure to prevent uncontrolled reproduction.
Safety in Public Places: All pitbulls must wear muzzles and leashes when walking in streets according to the new law, parks, and other public spaces. Additionally, only those over 18 years old will be allowed to handle them.
These changes aim to protect residents as well as ensure that animals are kept under control.
Responsibility of Owners
The new law also reinforces the responsibility of pitbull owners, providing penalties for cases of attacks. Among the main measures are:
Fines of up to R$ 5,000: For attacks on people or other animals, with the amount doubled in case of recurrence.
Seizure of the Animal: Dogs involved in attacks may be removed from their owners.
Damage Compensation: Owners will be required to cover all damages caused by their animals.
These penalties have been designed to increase the commitment of owners to the safety of their dogs and the community.
Implementation and Enforcement
Now, the bill goes to the evaluation of the Executive Power of Teutônia, which will decide on its implementation. If sanctioned, the municipal administration will be responsible for enforcing the law. To ensure effectiveness, a joint effort between authorities and the population will be necessary.
With this new law, Teutônia takes an important step toward reconciling public safety and animal welfare, reinforcing responsible coexistence with pitbulls.
