		<description><![CDATA[I have to say, I cannot recall ever seeing a city do this before.  The City of Brampton has taken out a full-page ad in their local newspaper in order to "defend" their employees' actions in seizing two family pets and scheduling their destruction.  So, not only does Rui Branco (the owner of one of the dogs) have to pay for his own lawyer, but his (and many other irate dog owners') taxes are being used to help the city try to kill his dog and to try to hoodwink the public with cover-their-butt propaganda!]]></description>
