That's right this breed is not for everyone!

No animal should have to live in or the life of a shelter. IMO it is one of the worst forms of cruelty that exsist....and I'm generly speaking, no specific breed.

Wether those animals ppl were good or bad, those animals are waiting on them to come and pick them up. Can you imagine that most animals do have a concept of time.

The Idea of surrendering your animal to the shelter in hopes that they will find another home b/c you dont have the spine to do whats right.

You can sign your name to a check, why not the release forms for Euthinasia.

Everyday the dog and I go on a walk. Pretty well 10 thousand miles, with me tethered to him, up until now.Everyday there are people that want to meet my dog because he acts and behaves like a dog. It must be a Lab, they conjecture aloud, to me.

"Uh? No. It's a Staffordshire Terrier." I, inevitably, say.

"Why don't you just let people think that it's a lab... ?" some people say.

"It's a Staffordshire Terrier. They're sweethearts. Bad dog... bad owner." is my general response.

Their response is either the draining of the blood from their cheeks because they are petting a pit bull or thought it looked like a pit bull!.

Their reputation precedes them. They are much maligned. They are, outright, lied about. You can see the wheels whirring. "My hand and fingers are still there? My throat is still in order? Nah. They're kidding. It's really a Lab!" They are surprised that when another dog walks bye it is not set upon and killed by this dog that seems to want more scratching and petting from the strangers?

It is because they are not seen for who they are that they are being eradicated from the face of the earth. They are loving, intelligent, discerning animals that have their companions best interests at heart. As more people get to meet my dog their ideas and apprehensiions about the breed are dispelled.

Seeing is believing.

Where are the papers that would have stopped the Mengele-ian atrocity of medical experimentation leading to the death of the patient/victim? Where are the people standing up against this atrocity?

And you wonder why I left Ontario? The ban is a piece of fascist legislation. I have never used that term to describe any piece of Canadian legislation from any province but I do here because that is what it is.
My dog would have to be muzzled. The police would always be in my face because my dog would be neither neutered nor muzzled. But what good would that do us if I were in jail and he were taken to to the local butchers and de-anatomized while you were protesting your and his innocence before a judge.
He could possibly be euthenized if the paper work were fucked up.
Knowing my fellow citizens I realized that I'd be one of the few outwardly protesting people. Activism requires movement. They are real good at being sheep.
In the land of "I have my shepherd under voice control" a muzzle would mean that my dog would have been attacked and unable to defend himself many times. It has happened often before.
He is on the leash. Some strange, unleashed, larger dog comes bye and fwoomp! It wants to scrap with the smaller dog. I'm yanking Zeus around, getting the dogs separated. I'm yelling for the owner to get their dog. He can barely hear but sees what is going on and is trudging towards us.
The other dog sees and hears the owner approaching so it is calming down but still gruff. It is unsure of whether or not it wants to go at Zeus. It'll wait for the owner to show up.
Just my idea of the Great Ontario Dream that is Ontario today.
It's a powerful, evocative poem that stresses that there are many people that would rather get fucked out of their animal than fight for their and the animals' rights. They were outmanouvered by the establishment preying on the immigrants' fear of animals(in a lot of other countries they are guards and weapons not pets).
Incidentally, Bob McDonald died this week. He was the media focal point for the Clarion call to save the world from pit bulls, at the Toronto Sun. A small-minded, quick read for the news of the day. Hopefully he'll be met by a huge delegation of dogs that went before their time because he is such a jerk. He was old and the pit bull legislation was the last great hurrah for this ancient scribe. The man spoke and was the truth personified.
C'mon Saint Peter. Do your stuff. Remind Bob that we are the caretakers of the animals not the dominators. We have Dominion not domination over the Animal kingdoms.
In Ontario they would, in their "Save the world from the rampaging pit bull", put me under the penalty of law for defying their edict and still neuter him before there is a chance to test the validity of the law under the Constitution. They don't even think that the Constitution comes into their quest for the annihilation of the breed.
Where are the vets that will declare this breed to be a lab, give the owners the papers that will remove the enforcers from the picture. But, then again, at a hundred bucks a pop business may rule the emotions. Wonder how much the governments pay for these services with stray dogs? Or are they the one's that are sold to science?
I don't want to live in a world where people think that the only reason that my dog is nice is because he's neutered. My dog is not neutered and people like him just fine the way he is.

Well said. You are completely on point with the sheepish nature of Ontarians. Every dog owner I've talked to that has a breed effected by this law solution to this ban is to just comply and not be vocal about it. Their defeatist attitude makes me ill. The trial headed by Clayton Ruby starts in May so hopefully we will see some progress because he has been successful in the past at defeating the government. I envy your move to west coast. If I didn't have two years left in my degree I would take my dogs and move out there too.

I'm in the Tampa Florida area, and I'm a Pit Bull rescuering for the local shelters that are getting ready to euthanize Pit Bulls. I can speak for my side of the tracks that it happens every day. Some shelters here are full of nothing but Pit Bulls and mixes... It's horrbile, I'm only one person and can do so much, and I try. Luckily we have alot of no-kill shelters, unfortunetly those are the ones that are full of nothing but Pit Bulls because no one wants to adopt an older Pit Bull... Reality hits, and it hits hard... Cute puppy no more.
