Ballantyne @VetBehaviorIL: Appearance of a dog, whether pure or mixed breed, doesn't tell us much about the individual dog's temperament Making false assumptions based on breed/appearance can negatively impact the dog's welfare and human safety. #SPARCS18
Ballantyne @VetBehaviorIL: A common misconception is that different breeds are significantly different behaviorally from one another. The current data suggests that there is more behavioral variability within a breed than between breeds of dogs. #SPARCS18

While Quebec debates ban, one community got rid of theirs: “If you can’t enforce a bylaw because you can’t determine what the actual specific breed of a dog is, you have something that looks like a mess that you can’t correct." globalnews.ca/news/3172579/n…

Why is Sterling Downey not presenting the memoir on PL128? He is more than qualified. Mandate him to do it. If this memoir is not presented by a "qualified" person, I and many many others will not be renewing our PM memberships @projetmontreal @Val_Plante @LucFerrandez #polmtl

#polqc #Quebec .@CoiteuxMartin . @phcouillard #FACT is dog bites increased 76% since #BSL was put in the #UK. Meantime #Calgary has actually decreased #dogbites substantially while opposing #breedbans. #GetSmart #KillBill128 #EducateDontLegislate #CAQ

#Quebec #polqc @phcouillard Tired of politicians treating companion animals like chattels, they ARE sentient beings. Stop targeting a handful of reckless #dog owners by going after numerous responsible pet owners. #KillBill128 #Stop128 #EndBSL #OurDogsAREFamily #EndTheWitchHunt

#Ontario #election is June 7th, 2018. This is one BIG reason and a reminder to #vote #WynneOut. Who targets responsible #dog owners and seized then kills their beloved pets based only on appearance? The #OLP does. – at Brampton, Ontario

Facts ignored—myths spread, even by advocates—once you know the science & facts, why continue with harmful myths. Advocates should be united moving forward. Pit bull is not a breed—but a slang term—that 1 myth alone is killing thousands of innocent dogs. @AnimalFarmFndtn #endBSL

Should Coderre lose, there will be many theories but he offended and activated one constituency that may make the difference: Dog people. 🐶
