This is a democratic country. We have the right to have this appeal heard! The goal of this group is to petition the SCC to hear the case. Too much time, money and effort has gone into this fight to stop now. One way or another we WILL get the ban overturned. Right now the most important thing is that we all stick together and stand up for what is RIGHT! We will petition and protest this decision. This isn\u2019t just about \u201cPit Bull\u201d owners. This is not just about dog owners. This is about our rights as citizens of this province, as residents of this country. We promote responsible dog ownership, NOT breed bans. Together we CAN change this!<\/p>\n<p>We need to take to the streets in every city and town across this province and stand together to DEMAND change. We have a voice and we WILL use it!<\/p>\n<p>Main locations will be in Toronto and Ottawa.<br \/>\nIn Toronto: Queens Park<br \/>\nIn Ottawa: The Supreme Court Building<\/p>\n<p>******<\/p>\n<p>If any of our brothers and sisters in the Ottawa area can assist with coordination of the protest there it would be forever appreciated. Just shoot me an email @ end.bsl.now@gmail.com<br \/>\nIn SOLIDARITY!<\/p>\n<p>Oppression is all of our CONCERN!!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst they came for the communists, and I did not speak out \u2013 because I was not a communist.<br \/>\nThen they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out \u2013 because I was not a socialist.<br \/>\nThey came next for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out \u2013 because I was not a trade unionist.<br \/>\nThen they came for the Jews \u2013 and I did not speak out because I am not Jewish.<br \/>\nThen they came for me \u2013 and there was no one left to speak out for me.&#8221; &#8211; Pastor Martin Niemoeller<\/p>\n<p>Think YOUR dog is safe?<br \/>\nHelp end BSL and overturn Bill 132<\/p>\n<p>We need this Liberal government to know that we are not going to take this anymore! There is strength in numbers and every single one of us has a responsibility to fight this. It&#8217;s been a long 5 years and it&#8217;s not over yet. Remember: Silence implies acceptance. We need EVERYONE out at these protests. They think that not enough of us care. They think we will eventually go away. Well do we? Are we? It&#8217;s up to you. We MUST keep fighting!!!<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t have a choice.<br \/>\nIn SOLIDARITY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was just posted on Facebook.
