São Paulo Law Honors Dog's Loyalty, Canadian Police Identify School Massacre Suspect, and Other News
São Paulo, Brazil, has enacted a new law allowing pets to be buried alongside their owners, inspired by a dog that remained by its owner's grave for a decade. Elsewhere, Canadian police identified an 18-year-old with a history of mental health problems as the suspect in a school massacre that left six people dead. In other news, an Israeli announcement to revoke the citizenship of two Palestinians has drawn condemnation, a Ukrainian Olympian was banned from competition for a helmet honoring war dead, and Bangladesh held its first general election since the ousting of Sheikh Hasina.
The new law in São Paulo, informally known as the Bob Coveiro (the Gravedigger) Law, was signed by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas. The law recognizes the emotional bond between guardians and their pets, according to the state government. The law is named after a dog that stayed by its owner's grave for ten years.
In Canada, authorities identified the suspect in the school massacre in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, as an 18-year-old. The attack, which occurred on Tuesday, claimed the lives of six people, including a teacher and five students.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an order revoking the citizenship of two Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks. This move has been met with condemnation from Palestinians, who view it as a dangerous precedent. "The recent revocation order marks the first time Netanyahu's government has used the 2023 law to strip Palestinian citizens of Israel of their citizenship and deport them," according to Al Jazeera.
A Ukrainian skeleton racer, Vladyslav Heraskevych, was banned from competing at the Winter Olympics after he insisted on wearing a helmet depicting athletes killed since Russia's invasion. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had pleaded with Heraskevych to adhere to guidelines and avoid potential disqualification, arguing his helmet violated rules which prevent political statements while athletes are competing. Heraskevych stated he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Bangladesh held its first general election since the government collapsed in 2024 during a bloody crackdown on protesters. More than 127 million people were eligible to vote in the election, which pitted the Bangladesh Nationalist Party against its former ally, the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami.
