Pit bull's are what their owners make them.  Though they can be quite 
naturally territorial with other dogs when on their home turf, but 
that's true of other breeds too.


He has quite the self satisfied look on his face.  Probably just over 
heated.

So, what happens if you live in Ontario and already have a pit bull? 
Do the mounties come and take away your dog?


I think I'd redefine the dog as an American Staffordshire Terrier Mix.  
That aught to confuse them.

That's a shame for someone to lose their family pet this way.  Having
no personal stake in the debate, I'll leave it alone.  What it shows
is that you can't trust a kid to respect a gate, no matter which side
of it they belong on.

Some years ago I was compelled to padlock the gate to my back yard
after my neighbour's kids repeatedly left it opened when retrieving
balls they'd lost over the fence.  I had no objection to their entry
provided they closed the gate when they left, but they wouldn't.  My
wife's cat was of a breed that couldn't jump fences, and we were safe
in the knowledge that she wouldn't wander unless a careless child
let her out :-(

The lesson is that no matter how careful you are, nobody else gives a
damn and one of them will undo your precautions.  Cover every base,
and then some.

regards, Anthony

No mounties involved. Just regular police and animal enforcement officers.

Basically this legislation defines a pit bull as one of several specific breeds 
or anything that even looks like one of those breeds. It's now illegal to buy, 
sell, breed or import a pit bull. Any animal born prior to the legislation 
(2005) is grandfathered and may be kept but it is not allowed off the owner's 
property without a leash (less than six feet) and a muzzle. If a dog is found 
in breach of the statute a destruction order ~must~ be ordered by a Justice 
of the Peace. There is no explanation allowed, no defence possible. This is an 
absolute liability offence.

In addition law enforcement officers are given ~very~ wide-ranging powers of 
search and seizure (more so than in criminal matters) and getting a search 
warrant is streamlined.

It's scary stuff.
 
A recent case had a pit bull getting loose after neighbour kids opened a gated 
yard without the knowledge of a homeowner. Pit bull got out, did nothing, was 
found by owner without incident, but a neighbour called the cops when they saw 
the dog out of the yard.

The dog was ordered destroyed. No defence or explanation allowed at law.

Cheers,
frank
