Michael Bryant victim? Navigator Ltd. runs the spin cycle on high
Even if I were hypnotized I wouldn't believe Bryant isn't a ******bag!
Anyone want to chip in a few bucks to hire a PR firm to put out the real truth? I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to round up a few (hundred thousand) p****d off citizens of Ontario that have found themselves on the short [...]

Attorney General Michael Bryant has been
charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a
motor vehicle causing death.
It is a must read…h/t Kelly!

The latest fatality stats were released early this morning for Ontario.

Is the kettle about to boil over in Surrey?
It is absolutely beyond me why people entertain the thoughts that banning breeds or fictitious breeds of dogs? If they have their thinking caps on at all or have learned the art of “google” they will find plenty of evidence that cities, states, counties and countries are repealing bans and substituting with common sense.

Well isn't Ireland just a shining light in the dangerous dog department
Well apparently, dog banning (of which they had quite a long list already in place) wasn't working so Northren Ireland has decided to add on another group of breeds.
Here is a link to the story.
The new plan claims that other breeds such as the German Shepherd,
Rottweiler and Doberman Pinscher should be restricted and [...]
I missed posting this article from the Toronto Star

The Toronto Star had a great, balanced story in yesterday's paper. I missed posting it and thought you may have missed it too.
The comments are interesting. Nobody agrees with the city.

City of Toronto granted an appeal in Ginger case
Have you ever had that feeling that you feel as though your head may explode?
I sometimes wonder if, (unbeknownst to me) I was plucked off the earth and placed on some idiotic planet where the opposite of common sense is the “norm”.
The city of Toronto was granted an appeal in the Ginger case.

Supreme Court of Canada denies appeal to
Today the Supreme Court of Canada denied the leave for appeal.
It is a dark day for Canada.
This law strips the rights of law abiding citizens.
This law is based on pure and simple propaganda and lies.
This law allows legislators to flippantly strip anyone of their rights and base it on opinions from [...]
Great video speaking out against BSL
Hat Tip to Lassie Get Help for posting an excellent video, put together by Pit Bull Guru, interviewing Jean Donaldson, Dr. Ian Dunbar and Dr. Nicholas Dodman.

Another constitutional challenge launched against the McGuinty Liberals.
There have actually been several cases launched (in addition to our own) against the McGuinty Liberals for discrimination. Now there is a research project for a high school or university project. How many constitutional challenges have been launched compared to other sitting governments? Off the top [...]

Nanny Fiberals hard at work!
The premier of this province, Dalton McGunity has a nickname that some of us (not so fondly) refer to him as. Nanny McFee! We in Ontario are sick to death of being nannied.

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 club [...]
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.

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.

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 tossed the [...]
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” of many sectors such [...]
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 Mayor Hagen stated in [...]
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 recent [...]
Wayne Pacelle's fingers caught in the Helmsley cookie jar
It has been a banner week for catching the animal murderers (HSUS) in the act. The waves have been abuzz with a solid case of proof that the real agenda of animal liberation groups such as HSUS, PETA and their tentacles is to eliminate the animals and cash in on the cow (pun intended).
HSUS [...]
Just when you think you've seen it all
The media whores are at it again! Sadly, main stream media gets the negative attention it is so pathetically addicted to by putting the word “pitbull” in the title of as many story headlines as possible.

The aftermath: how could anyone still support HSUS?
I am in tears…
In the few years of fighting this evil battle I have grown a much thicker skin. In my mind that is not a good thing; however one must “toughen” up to be able to function in this business of fighting for the right to own pets. How incredibly sad it has come [...]
