View Article  HAS ANYONE NOTICED A PATTERN?

The predictability of BSL is like a poorly written screenplay.

In BC over the past couple months, there has been an increase in articles related to 'pitbulls'. In an article yesterday the title speaks for itself. Rash of dog attacks across British Columbia is the title of the article. An editorial in early May was titled "It's time for B.C. to ban pitbulls". In another article a school is put into lock down because of a loose 'pitbull'!

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the headline "I became dinner" says a B.C. dog attack victim. Oops, that wasn't a 'pitbull' attack. It was a Labrador Retriever cross. So I guess it is safe to assume Lab's are on the hit list in B.C.?

The article I will throw my support behind this week is from KC Dogblog. Dog bites actually on the decline?  So dog bites are down by some 80% over the last decade? Could this be because of education in bite prevention and better understanding of canine behaviour? Will we see this statement in the MSM? My odds will lie on the NO side. Who will buy papers with front page headlines fear mongering about dog attacks? Dog forbid the media will have to print some facts or do some research.

View Article  TO ALL THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT BILL 138 IN NOVA SCOTIA

The DLCC would like to thank everyone who has written to government and
expressed their concerns........

We have now entered into another phase of the process.

Bill 138 is before the Law Amendments Committee.

This committee is already aware of the public opinion about the amendments (from
the MLA's) therefore it is NOT necessary to contact the government or this
committee further.This will place us in a better position to facilitate open
dialogue .

So hang tight,we will apprise everyone of any new developments as they unfold or

View Article  AMENDMENTS TO OSCPA ACT BEING DEBATED IN THE HOUSE

Caveat has been keeping tabs on the discussion at Queen's Park about the proposed amendments to the OSPCA Act.

Kudos Caveat for keeping up with this issue. I have Bell Express Vu so I don't get the Ontario Legislature Channel. I wonder if the Fibs are behind the lack of Bell customers not having the channel? Not as easy to keep tabs on what they are up to, or rather what the 'ban' of the day is.
