Judges have ruled the combination of the two just can't be allowed to happen in Ontario... (Uh, yeah... ...And I have this nice bridge for sale...) Hmmmmm.... Where are these sage judges when it comes to dog-related laws? For goodness sakes, a dog is a living thing (not just a car), and its life can be taken away if neither it, nor its owner, has done anything wrong at all (other than existing). At least with the stunt driving charges, the driver was actually breaking the law. If it weren't so dire, it would be comical.
