BSL (Breed Specific Law) in Ontario - What's Happening?


By Muskies Daddy - Posted on 18 November 2008

I believe it was October 2005 when Ontario passed the Breed Specific Law that bans all Pit-Bulls and any dog that is like a Pit-Bull. As owner of the most lovable and laid-back "pit-bull-like" (an American Staffordshire Terrier mix) I avidly followed as this unjust law was proposed and eventually was passed by the Ontario Legislature. Many dog owners and organizations were aghast and lobbied against this law, even raising funds and hiring a lawyer. What's intertesting is that since the law was passed over 3 years ago I cannot find any updates on any websites of dog organizations about the fight against this despicable law nor about what the hired gun (aka lawyer) did or is doing. I've heard 1 or 2 mentions in the news, whenever someone's pit bull gets into trouble.

Does anyone know what efforts there have been since this law passed, and about this lawyer's day in court??

Hi Muskies Daddy, I found this website - http://www.petfriendly.travel/pettraveltips/breedlegislation.php
Click on the Understand-a-Bull Canada BSL link for more information.

so the battle against this farcical, but deadly and dangerous legislation continues. Too bad we "regular folk" can't legislate a ban against stupid politicians (excuse the redundancy in those 2 words), or better yet - go back to medieval times when tarring and feathering and running idiots like these out of town was practised.
