Midland Ontario continuing its legacy of illogical dog bylaws
The town of Midland recently amended their dog bylaw. They actually didn't change much other than increasing fines; however they were already on the “no fly” list for dog owners. Looks as though they are choosing to remain on the illogical list and maintain their status in the **ban plus club. ** the ban plus [...]
BSL dropped from Cote St Luc
Several months ago I posted an article about the Montreal suburb Cote St Luc. I am very happy to report that Cote St Luc came to their senses and dropped the proposed BSL in their dangerous dog bylaw. 'Breed specific' dropped from proposed CSL 'dangerous' dog bylaw Côte St. Luc city council has given second [...]
A tribute to Hershey
Our hearts go out to Jennifer Waite, owner of Hershey. I received an email from Jennifer this morning that Hershey passed last night after a brief illness. The December 2005 issue of Dogs in Canada ran an article about Hershey. Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! Witness the spectacle of the savage, snarling, snapping beast. [...]
Court rules Miami-Dade County pitbull ban unenforceable
Yip, yip, yipee! I'm having a difficult time containing my excitement. More and more jurisdictions are coming to their senses, albeit court ruling in some instances. Italy came to their senses. KC Dogblog has a good post about that here. The Netherlands tossed, UK is on the verge… many towns, cities and counties have already [...]
Is HSUS fabricating stories to further their agenda?
I came across an interesting article written by a physician named Joe Abraham from Louisianna. Dr. Abraham points out that something smells fishy in the HSUS camp (my words no offense to fish). I have been wondering that very thought for quite some time now. I have jokingly asked whether the animal liberationist “hidden videos” [...]
Military are thanked for risking lives by banning their dogs
We have had many emails from panic stricken dog owners who are in the Canadian military asking why they cannot get back into Ontariostan with their dog. Well the answer is that if they are posted out of Ontario for longer than 3 months and take their dog with them, they are S-O-L on bringing [...]
Quote of the week
The town of Vauxhall, Alberta recently updated their canine bylaw. The new dog by-law passed unanimously at the first reading. The new law would remove the breed specific language and determine dogs “dangerous” on a case by case basis, and based on the dog’s individual behavior. Listen up ill informed legislators and torch/pitchfork crowd… Deputy [...]
Living up to a reputation?
I came across a video that made me chuckle. I have attended similar shows to the one shown in the video and have attended many multi breed dog shows. Overall it is rare one would see any aggression between dogs or dogs to humans with any breed. This video made me smile because this is [...]
Skeldon sent packing?
Well, well, well… Did Toledo finally come to its senses? Remember Tom Skeldon; one of the Fiberal *star* witnesses for enacting the breed ban here in Ontario? I guess he won't be whoring himself out as a *star* witness anymore? There was an article in the Toeldo Blade entitled New Dog Warden Needed. AS THE [...]
