Here is the latest updated list of all human deaths caused by dogs in Canada since 1983.
More than 36 hours after a serious dog attack on a toddler in Ontario, I have only been able to find three news stories about the incident and I suspect that the only reason why is because the dog was identified as something other than a “pit bull”.
As promised, here is a list of all human deaths caused by dogs in Canada since 1983.
Discouraging news from Florida today. Looks like SB (Senate Bill) 1322,which would have repealed the Miami-Dade breed ban, has been stalled and perhaps even killed at the subcommittee level.
So let’s see how much airplay/newsprint this story gets, since the attacking dog clearly can’t be reported as a “pit bull”.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted 5-1 Monday night to remove language targeting pit bulls from a dangerous animal ordinance.
Great news! Bill 16 passed its second reading today in the Ontario Legislature!
The government of New Brunswick has decided to start enforcing a law that prohibits tenants of provincial housing from owning pets, even though many of these tenants have had their animals for years. They have cracked down on two Moncton housing complexes and have given the tenants one week to get rid of their pets!
Randy Hillier, one of the sponsors of Bill 16, left a comment on my last blog entry that significantly increases my optimism about this bill’s potential to become law, so much so that I decided to write an updated article about it.
