		<description><![CDATA[Some good news out of Ontario for two condemned young dogs.  They've been shipped to the SPCA in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  It's a shame that Shawn Berry from the Daily Gleaner felt it necessary to end the story by quoting from the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeals judges.  In my opinion, it is probably one of the most inaccurate and inflammatory statements ever put into print by a judge about "pit bulls".]]></description>

So, I&#8217;m going to try again. Not all animal rights organizations are BAD and not all of their members are BAD PEOPLE!! [...]]]></description>
