The Court of Justice of Santa Catarina (TJSC) ruled by a majority to restrict the law and the decree prohibiting the breeding of Pit Bull dogs in the state. The justices deemed unconstitutional the measures preventing the breeding, sale, and circulation of these animals, as well as the provision mandating their neutering.

In a statement, the State Secretariat for the Environment and Green Economy announced it is analyzing the ruling to determine the necessary next steps.

The justices' decision, published on Wednesday (17), concerns two state regulations:

• State Law No. 14.204/2007
• State Decree No. 1.047/2025 – which regulates the aforementioned law

The rapporteur for the decision was Appellate Judge Ricardo da Luz Fontes. In his opinion, he argued that the regulations effectively prevented a professional activity in Santa Catarina. He also highlighted the fact that only Santa Catarina had a law of this nature.

>"The ban on the sale and breeding of these dogs, as well as the mandatory sterilization requirement, goes far beyond—very far beyond—a mere restriction on the freedom to practice a profession. Legislation of this kind effectively puts an end to a professional activity entirely within our state."

---

>"In a country the size of Brazil, banning a commercial activity in just one single state is a clear affront to the federal system. Constituent entities possess autonomy, of course. However, sovereignty—that is, supremacy within the domestic order—belongs to the Federative Republic of Brazil."

Consequently, the Court of Justice ruled Articles 1 and 2 of these regulations unconstitutional.

• Article 1 prohibited the breeding, sale, and circulation of Pit Bull dogs.
• Article 2 mandated the sterilization of these dogs starting at six months of age.

Other rules regarding public safety set forth in the law and the decree—such as those governing where these dogs may go and how they must be handled—remain in effect:

• Pit Bulls may only be in public places if accompanied by adults.
• Pit Bulls may only be in public places if wearing a choke collar and a muzzle.

Those measures would also have applied to pit bull adjacent breeds:

• American Pit Bull Terrier
• Staffordshire Bull Terrier
• American Bully
• American Staffordshire Terrier
• Red Nose
• Pit Monster
• Exotic Bully
• American Bully Pocket
• Pocket Bully
• American Bully Micro/Micro Bully
• American Bully Micro Exotic/Micro Exotic

So because these measures would "ban a commercial activity" and were independent from the federal government, they were deemed inconstitutional and will no longer be active. Pit bulls will continue to be bred and sold, and we will continue to live in fear.

For greater context, Santa Catarina and the other two states in the South, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul all are among the most prosperous, with the highest quality of life and with the least inequality in the country. They are also screwed over by the federal pact. In 2022, Santa Catarina sent R$107 billions to the federal government, and only received R$7,7 billions back. At the same time, its prosperity keeps attracting people from all over the country, with 503.580 people moving to the state between 2017 and 2022.

Geralmente quando você procura por mocassim aparecem esses que tem cara quase de sapato de palhaço, cheio desses franzidos ou com a sola gigante. Eu queria um bem desestruturado com a sola fina. Gosto também quando tem um espaço maior entre a língua e o tornozelo.

Ano passado tinha um assim na Zara. Não tinha na loja física pra provar, mas decidi arriscar , apesar do meu único sapato da Zara ter desintegrado com um ano de uso. Esperei a promoção e esgotou muito rápido kkkk. Hoje eles tem um modelo parecido, mas me parece um pouco mais estruturado. Nos exemplos positivos peguei esse de uma loja chamada Mango, mas eles não entregam pro BR.

Tentei procurar por mocassim slip-on, mas aí só aparecem uns meio sapatanênis ainda mais feios. De preferência gostaria de algo em torno de R$200-400, mas pelo que vi provavelmente vai passar disso.
