Caveat has a chart you should really view....
And MPP Randy Hillier has a petition you should really sign....
So Ontario can be free of unfounded, unjust, vague, shoddy, ineffective and fiscally irresponsible statutory provisions....
So law-abiding dog owners are no longer legislated into second-class citizenship....
And so thousands of unoffending dogs are not killed solely because of their shape.

Tri-party introduction of Bill to end Ontario "breed" specific legislation!!!
A Bill was introduced in the Ontario Legislature today by MPP Randy HIllier, co-sponsored by NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo and Liberal MPP Kim Craitor, to repeal Onscario`s unfounded, unjust, ineffective and fiscally irresponsible `breed`specific legislation. My deepest thanks to these people for their intelligence and courage.
You can watch video of Mr. Hillier introducing the Bill here.
Ms. Di Novo, the originator of the Bill, Mr. Hillier and Mr. Craitor deserve thanks for putting aside their political differences to work towards repealing legislation that made second-class citizens of law-abiding people and killed thousands of unoffending dogs solely because of their shape. that made second-class citizens of law-abiding people and killed thousands of unoffending dogs solely because of their shape.
You rock!
Can`t wait for February 23, 2012 when the Bill will be debated in the Legislature.

Caveat bites Global TV - a provoked and well-deserved bite!
I see that Global TV has its head up its digital butt again...Caveat does a nice dissection of the nonsense Global tried to feed the public on dog bites.
I personally avoid Global News since they're so Liberal fixated, I don't trust their news.
On a happier note, Yvette Van Veen wrote a great article asking where is the data to prove the "pit bull" ban is working.
And on a sickening note, YesBiscuit! reported on a Harrisonburg, VA police officer who beat an injured cat to death with his baton. There aren't words.
Avoid Harrisonburg, VA if you value your life and the lives of your animals.

Readings for the strong of heart
YesBiscuit has the Rotary Club report on Memphis Animal Services, and it's ugly.
Dogs being sold out the back door for fighting, "supplies" (probably drugs) being sold out the back door, truly inhumane practices, management attempting to cover its fat, lazy butts by having the webcams (public scrutiny) removed...it's appalling.
Tennessee is ranking very low on my estimation of the percentage of human genes in its population.
===================================
Beyond the Myth was a smash. Brindle Stick has the details.
Brindle Stick also has a link to a great article on breed-specific legislation in Cottage Dog magazine authored by Selma Mulvey.
====================================
A couple has been sentenced to jail time for animal cruelty and a ten-year ban on owning an animal. Thank heavens, and bless the judge who imposed the sentence. This is a huge step forward in law vis-a-vis animal welfare.
==============================================
Good reading on the Ninth Life Cat Rescue blog. Had to laugh about some of the incidents that happen when one is in rescue/volunteering.
