I don't know exactly how you'd be able to verify with certainty that they're rounding up pit bulls, but it doesn't seem too impossible given how some people in Vancouver seem to feel about them. Here's a few links that might help you get a better idea or find more info... News story about rotty attack and breed bans: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20030308/FC8BITE/TPFocus/ Info on breed bans, and a contact for BC: http://www.staffordmall.com/bsl-canadabritishcolumbia.htm Message board with some psycho "animal rights" people calling for breed bans: http://www.animaladvocates.com/cgi-bin/newsroom.pl/noframes/read/2201 IP: Logged |

Goob, Thank you for those links...I've been spending, pretty much, all day making contacts with these people..wether bad or good. Hopefully I can get in there and start helping make a difference. Vancouver is a shamful place. One will be either very welthy or very poor...very little inbetween. I am currently considering a job change to help support the APBT here in Van...got lots to do so will chat in a bit. Thanks again for the links...you kick ass Cheers IP: Logged |

No problem  . It would also be a good idea to start keeping up with the local lawmakers and what they're doing. I know here in the US, there's a state government site that lists any bills/laws coming into vote. There's probably other ways to keep up to date too. Also, start gathering anti-BSL propaganda, like TT stats, positive stories, and anything that dispells the myths and innacurate bite stats that are out there now, etc. Also, contact people who live in areas under BSL, and try to get some figures on the effectiveness (or lack of effectiveness) and cost of BSL. If you start to hear anything about pending BSL, start shipping out the info to anyone who has anything to do with the BSL being put into effect. Call them and tell them how you, as a law abiding citizen, will be affected by such laws. If the BSL is discussed in a public "hearing", try to get other responsible APBT owners together and go to support the breed/give your experiences. Here are some more links (sorry if you've already seen them) about BSL in the states, and things that might be helpful in fighting bad press or BSL if it gets to that point.
