The Sizwe Kupelo Foundation will hand over a petition with more than 120,000 signatures calling for a ban on pit bulls to agriculture, land reform and rural development minister Thoko Didiza as soon as her department gives it a date.

According to the foundation, Didiza has the authority to promulgate new regulations in terms of the Animals Protection Act.

“The Sizwe Kupelo Foundation joins the family of a one-year-old East London boy in mourning the tragic death of the little one who was viciously attacked and killed by a neighbour’s pit bull. The unnecessary death in Cambridge is the latest in a string of attacks by the wild animals called pit bulls that some people have kept as domestic pets.

While the foundation called for the castration of male pit bulls and the sterilisation of female pit bulls, those who supported their cause begged the government to remove “the unpredictable dogs” from all South African homes. Canine behavioural experts say pit bulls are considered to be dangerous because statistically, they kill more people than any other breed of dog.
