Omo, you no go believe wetin dey happen for Brazil! Naija no dey carry last for matter of love, but Brazil dey show us say dem sabi love pets well well. From Tuesday wey come, dem go allow pet animals make dem dey rest for family grave! No be joke o!
Sao Paulo state don pass law wey go recognize emotional bond wey dey between humans and their pets. This one go fit allow people bury their animals for same place wey dem dey bury their paddy. This Naija wey love dog, I dey feel am!
According to Pet Brasil Institute, Brazil get the third biggest pet population for di whole world, with about 160 million paddy wey dey wag tail and scratch ear for house. Dem dey treat dem pets like family, and dis law just dey confirm am. And e no be say dem just wan do am anyhow, e get story wey carry everybody for this matter!
Dis law get inspiration from one local dog wey dem call Bob Coveiro. Bob dey live for municipal cemetery for 10 years after im owner die! Na so, as Bob self die for 2021, dem allow am make e rest beside im human paddy. No be small thing o!
Now, the governor, Tarcisio de Freitas, don sign this law wey dey carry di name of Bob Coveiro. E mean say, pets fit rest for family graves or mausoleums. This law don come at time when di whole country dey battle with sadness as dem just lose one beloved street dog wey dem call Orelha (Ear) for Florianopolis. Dem chop am like suya, no be small thing. Dis matter even reach President Lula O!
People dey protest across the country after di brutal killing of Orelha by some teenagers wey come from rich families. You know say e no dey sweet to see paddy matter turn to wahala like this. As dem dey protest, local media dey follow di case like hawk for food.
Brazil culture don dey strong for pets matter, especially as di middle class dey grow and birth rate dey drop. Pet services dey increase; from luxury spas wey dey pamper dogs to hotel wey no go allow any wahala. E never finish o, January wey pass, Sao Paulo also sign law wey go recognize di “cultural significance” of Caramelo, di popular street dog wey many people sabi well. Dis law dey come because dem wan tackle di prejudice wey dey against animals wey no get proper breed.
As we dey look forward to di implementation of dis law, e go make sense if more part of di world fit learn from Brazil how dem dey dash pets beta life! Omo, I dey hail pet lovers for dia as dem dey find way to show love to dem furry friends. Na so dem dey treat dem like family!
