		<description>Damm straight, Lori.  Anyone involved with this cause will call McSquinty and the Fiberals things far worse than worthless dog ****.  They`ve squandered billions because they haven`t been minding the province`s business - eHealth, OLG, WSIB, the tens of thousands wasted on the sham Committee hearings on Bill 132, and a cheerful and knowing violation of citizens`rights based on the property they own.  This is beyond shameful, and Anonymous wants `polite`?  Screw that.</description>

		<description>Listen Anonymous, (gotta love those who love to wank without having the balls to sign your name) I used to be a nice person but that all changed in 2005.  Do you email Rick Mercer and ask him to tone down his rants too? 
I seriously doubt I will drive anyone away from supporting &quot;our cause&quot; because I call McGuinty a useless piece of dog ****. I will call him a double useless piece of dog **** this week because our province now sits in the largest deficit in history because of his outright incompetence! (Hot on the heels of over a BILLION dollars squandered away at E Health). In fact last time I checked there is still free speech so I&#039;ll say whatever the hell I want. 
BTW this isn&#039;t &quot;our cause&quot;. If you live in Ontario, this is YOUR cause too. You obviously still don&#039;t know it though. I guess it doesn&#039;t alarm you that &quot;our law&quot; has been used for other laws since and set the most dangerous precedence in history (imo) if you will so kindly allow me one.
Why would I focus in on lies in the media. You will never put out that fire. Every day in nearly every article written there is some un-truth or &quot;stretch&quot; of the imagination. What the hell does anyone care that DNA can be done for $60.00. They are BS anyway. Do you have a dog you can prove lineage on? Try sending it in for a DNA test. (Be careful not to send a picture when they ask you to though). 
I&#039;m glad you are so full of ideas about how this law will get reversed. Where the hell have you been. I&#039;m awful glad you pointed that out for us. Again, I doubt I&#039;ll drive away public sympathy for calling McGuinty a useless piece of dog****, in fact that will likely garner quite a bit of support.
I am just getting over H1N1 so forgive me but I am going to end this rant. I am going back to the couch and don&#039;t really want to waste any more time straightening out some gutless anon who thinks I should be less angry about the most insane subject on the planet!
And btw, thanks for judging my judgment but it is just fine!</description>

		<description>Anonymous, we have been polite and rational for the last five years.  I have bitten my tongue so often, it&#039;s about an inch shorter.  We&#039;ve seen good friends move out of the province to keep their dogs safe; other people persecuted and their dogs killed; puppies killed; rescues swamped trying to move unoffending dogs to safe places. 
Bitter?  Angry?  Yes, I speak for myself when I say I am.
How about you join the team and see how polite and rational you are in five years, after politicians have lied about you and your dog, mainstream media consistently libels you, and the average citizen can&#039;t cmprehend the Charter issues in this matter and doesn&#039;t seem to give two hoots about anything but shopping at some big box store.</description>

		<description>If you ever want to garner some respect from people who aren&#039;t as passionate about your cause as you are then I suggest you tone down your rants. You are letting your anger cloud your judgment and you are coming across as just bitter and crazy. I am somewhat sympathetic to your cause, but calling politicians useless pieces of dog **** crosses the line. It is OK to think these things, but not publicize them. You will never be taken seriously or change the average citizen&#039;s opinion that way. And the only way you will get this law reversed is by gaining substantial public sympathy for your cause. And why don&#039;t you point out that some of the information in articles that appear on your website is just completely wrong. The man in the article says that a DNA test on his dog to find out what his lineage is would cost several thousand dollars. That is a complete lie. You can get it done for about $60 in Toronto.</description>

		<description>Just to clarify.
Substantially means the greater part, most, etc.
Therefore, a 50-50 split cannot be considered substantially similar in terms of breeding.
However, the law isn&#039;t about breeding when they discuss mutts.
It&#039;s a completely insane piece of legislation written by self-serving opportunists who knew nothing about what they were trying to legislate.  Not only did they not give a **** about dogs, they didn&#039;t give a **** about the citizens of Ontario who they are supposed to represent.
Can we please, please, please stop voting for these evil people?</description>

		<description>What slays me is that these bozos think that if a dog is half &quot;pit bull&quot; (Whatever TF that is), he&#039;s banned.
I believe, and correct me if I&#039;m wrong, that the law:
a)  Has NOTING TO DO WITH BREED unless it&#039;s one of the three quite different purebreds named, which is easy to establish.
b) States that in the case of a mutt (any unregistered dog), it must be SUBSTANTIALLY similar in physical characteristics to ONE of the three very different banned breeds.
While point b) obviously leaves things wide open to interpretation and therefore unfairly loads a decision in favour of the Crown in COURT, the fact is that even if a dog is half Lab and half Staffordshire Bull, it is completely irrelevant and doesn&#039;t mean he is a &#039;pit bull&#039; under the meaning of the law.
To say a dog is half &#039;pit&#039; is just complete ignorance.  A dog can&#039;t be half &#039;pit&#039;, he can only be half (and half) dog.
Get it, moronic &#039;pit bull&#039; (ha ha ha) owners?  Since most of you did squat to help us with the legal challenge, didn&#039;t bother turning up to our demonstrations, didn&#039;t buy stuff at our booths, etc, the least you can do is try to protect your poor dogs.
Harumph.
Oh, and to be fair to Kitchener (which isn&#039;t easy, trust me), their original ban did not include purebreds and in fact, the urged the province to exclude the purebreds.  HOw in hell they enforced their bylaw is anybody&#039;s guess but I sure wish somebody had thought to challenge it - it would have blown down like a house of cards.</description>

		<description>It never ceases to amaze me that this is still going on.  When is this garbage going to end?  I really wish that society would move past judging anything / anyone by their looks instead of their actions.  Truly it&#039;s pathetic that we aren&#039;t there yet.</description>
