Calling all Pitbull Lovers – Your Support is needed on November 18th!!!
On November 18th, 2009, MPP Cheri DiNovo will table a private member’s bill at Queens Park. The bill is aimed at removing the breed specific part that is currently in Ontario’s Dog Owner’s Liability Act.
There will be a rally from 10am - noon in front of Queen’s Park. The Toronto Humane Society will be there to show out support for ending breed specific legislation.
MPP DiNovo will be presenting introducing the bill in Legislature later that day to remove the breed specific aspect of the Dog Owner's Liability Act (DOLA).
Every responsible dog owner knows breed specific legislation is not the solution. The banning of an entire breed is pure discrimination and is in no way a proper solution. Thousands of innocent pitbulls, including puppies, have been killed in Ontario since this law went into effect. All banning pitbulls does is punish responsible people and kill innocent dogs. The blame needs to go to the human end of the leash. Pitbulls are very misunderstood and are probably the most abused breed out there today.
Airing this fall on Bravo! Canada, each episode of Star Portraits will feature artists producing three portraits of one celebrity. The celebrity will choose one of the portraits for their personal collection, with the portraits not chosen to be sold at auction. The Amazing Kreskin has chosen The Toronto Humane Society to receive the proceeds raised during the auction of his portrait (episode airs October 31/09); For more details visit: www.starportraits.ca
