Ontario Ban Update

    I found this on Molosser world posted by Karen Peak from the USA who is always there in the thick of things when the BSL issue comes out, she is always there behind the scenes fighting bans everywhere. The Pitbull Ban in Ontario was looking to be a go for sure. They have to have 3 votes to pass the Bill, they had 2 readings already that were overwhelming in favor of the ban and I cannot see how the 3rd reading would be any different. I thought all was lost until this news came about....There is still a chance and I encourage everyone to call and chime in on this...

    Haven't been here too long, so I'm not sure what websites are the favorites here, but I'll suggest getting all the info you can from fataldogattacks.com and the "fad breed" theory from Diane Jessup on workingpitbull.com or from her book.

    Where in Ontario are you from?

    I also think that I will be going to this as well

    And yes Bryant is an idiot, he looked like a complete fool when he couldnt even identify the pitbull out of a doggy lineup presented to him on TV, The man is a grade A moron

    I Live Right Here In The Thick Of It. It Will Be Horrible To Muzzle My Dogs When I Take Them Out. I Also Do Not Want To Neuter Blues, At Least I Don't Want To Be Made To. We Wanted To Breed Him (he Is So Beautiful) And Well Natured. For The First Time I Am Angry At Out Politicians. Canada Is A Great Country So How Did This Ever Come About?

    The liberal government on the provincial level is incompetant and its unfortunate that the people of Ontario do not hold them accountable, Michael Bryant and Dalton Mcguinty are both unfit to hold their positions in our government.

    I am also in the thick of things here and I have a serious problem with muzzling my dogs. Until they let me carry a loaded gun on the streets I will not muzzle my dogs, I have had numerous dogs of "other" breeds that are known aggressive dogs that roam loose and attack other dogs, I will not allow my dogs to be defenseless when this bullshit happens.

    the legislation states in regards to the pitbull and other dogs that the pitbull is at fault regardless of the circumstances, if your dog is attacked from behind on your own property this legislation will make it that your pitbull is at fault regardless. Problem being not many people look at the entire bill, the closer you look the scarier it is.

    I am an hour north of Toronto and I feel the pain of those poor dogs in the city being kicked and spit on !!! All Ontario members lets try to make all public meetings and fight this , everyone else post your thoughts here and we will put all point in a letter and make our voice heard at the meeting. I am calling tomorrow (Jan 5th 2005) to get a spot to be a speaker .
