Thank You, Liberal Government!
I saw this photo over on Pinterest, and couldn’t resist adding some captions.
Here’s the full version (after the cut)
On a side note, this is a short list of dogs that have been “identified” as Pit Bills by “experts” (ie; shelter workers making minimum wage with little to no training) since 2005:
- Boston Terrier
- Bull Terrier
- French Bulldog
- Bulldog
- Weimaraner
- Vizsla
- Bullmastiff
- (English) Mastiff
- Chesapeake Bay Retriever
- Dogo Argentino / Mastiff mix
- Great Dane / Dalmatian mix
- Great Dane / Whippet mix
- Hungarian Vizsla
- Husky or Border Collie mixed with Lab
- Labrador Retriever
- Labrador Retriever / Boxer mix
- Neapolitan Mastiff
- Various mixes of Boxer or Lab with something else
I assume that, in this climate of fear, a Poodle could be identified as a Pit Bull wearing a wig (because Pibbles are sneaky like that, always wearing disguises and fake mustaches).
My late brother’s wife, with a PhD and presumably the brain to go with it, identified my very first Pug as a pitbull, and asked me if he was dangerous because he was growling (aka breathing like a Pug) at her. Yeah, dangerous. She was five foot eleven to his eleven inches…
Yes, back when no one knew what Frenchies were, I used to get asked the “are they growling?” question all the time. And we had the Frenchies identified as Pit Bulls more than a few time – that’s a lot less funny when you live in a province with BSL, trust me.
Great photo, thanks for sharing.
The Fiberals haven’t kept us safe from wasted-money scandals (e-Health et al) and picking our almost-empty pockets (HST), but damm, man, we are safe from pibbles and almost-pibbles and might-be-pibbles. Yep, that’s Dalton & Co., damm the facts and full speed ahead.
The ‘Liberals’ – and I put it in quotation marks since, as with everything McGuinty, they are the exact opposite of that – have contributed to public danger.
Thanks to McGuinty and his minions, the police can enter your home without a warrant if they ‘believe’ that a dog inside is threatening a human or a domestic animal. That’s regardless of breed. So basically owning a dog is probable cause.
Then there’s the warrantless search and seizure on the street, inequality under the law, restrictions on mobility, reversal of proof of a negative on to a defendant, etc, etc. Let’s not even get into overbroadness and vagueness.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot – thousands of dogs have been killed because of their appearance, from 6-week-old puppies to senior canine citizens. All of those dogs were mutts. People are still having their beloved dogs seized and threatened with death because they have short hair and whippy tails.
Laws should govern behaviour, not physical appearance. But you knew that.
DON’T VOTE FOR McGUINTY!!! HE’S A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
Ok, that picture is the BEST ever and I want to borrow it!! Yeah, talk about between a rock and a rock – McGinty and Ford – it is enough to make me drown in the toilet. Yeah, animal loving province … Ontario. I was told by the cops that if my dogs (2 bad shepards) bite someone who comes into my yard thorugh my TWO gates (I have a six foot wooden fence around my yard, which is double gated at the side) then they can TAKE my dogs and kill them. This was based on something that happened a couple of years ago when my son found some stranger in our backyard scoping out things …. luckily the dogs were NOT out because had they been, they would probably be dead now.
