We contacted the OSPCA who have spoken out against the legislation. They don't intervene with HS chapters unless they've violated the law. Now the KWHS has been investigated twise by the OSPCA and have been fined at least once.

Here's an interesting inside fact we found out yesterday somewhat annonymously. Ward McAlister was told if he ever mentions the word bitpull in a council meeting again he would be banned from council meetings and if he pressed the issue of BSL not being past, he may resign. We were told this by sympathic council people who are also in fear of their jobs if they speak out. We were also told that anyone attempting to raise any issue about the pitbull ban in Kitchener at a public council meeting will be escorted out of the meeting. Essentially the Corporation of the City of Kitchener has the abililty to silence the Humane Society, silence the Vetranarians, silence their own councilmen and silence the media.

Berry Vrbanovic, the councilman who spoke in the CKCO interview was parimount in having the BSL legislation past in Kitchener. It is interesting to me that the city would let him speak when he's a primary target, unless somebody is setting him up to fall. Here's the point of law we're searching for now. We believe that the goverment has a legal responsibility that they must fully disclose all information and fully disclose if any previous information supplied for legislation was false. I'm told it's a criminal offence if they don't.
