TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am writing in regards to a very serious matter that has yet to be noticed or even addressed by the Humane Society as well as properly brought to the public eye. I was reading an article from the Sault Ste. Marie Star when I came across the story “Family pet dies violent death”. I find the most shocking details of this story not that an innocent family pet had been brutally killed but rather, the minimal attention and fuss that the police of Anishinabek and the Humane society has projected.
The breed of the dog that has died is the American pitbull terrier which is now “classified” as one of the most dangerous dogs and has even been banned, in other words, a man made act of extinction. So is the minimal public outrage caused by the fact that the death of the dog is in fact a pitbull, or is it that the dogs that brutally tore apart this animal are classified as “friendly - sociable” dogs?

The outrage of American Pitbull Terrier’s attacks have been thrown everywhere in the media by the government to justify their choice of killing off a breed of life. Yet, this small story that if I wouldn’t be sending out to every single form of media I am connected too would not have been addressed and thrown into the public eye. Why? Because this very attack against an innocent dog will prove that the law made to ban this breed is a mistake. In saying this, how exactly will the government of Ontario explain to a soon educated public they purposely caused extinction in a world that fights to prevent it?

what a horrible story,i never want to here about any animal dying,but i do have a problem with this story.....guy says dogs should be tied....yet his is not...and for atleast 10 yrs......how did his dog end up on the street?....not tied....there is more to the story imo....media always spins it for more readers.

yes all dogs involved were not leashed.. but the reason that the article was brought to my attention wasn't in regards to stray animals or if "jones" had said the guilty animals should be leashed... but its come to my attention because of the lack of media coverage and public attention this story is getting.... how many stories have you seen that has been on the news and talked about pertaining to the "vicious" pitbull... then a story that shows a FAMILY PITBULL PET being brutally attacked has minimal coverage and not even the Humane Society in my hometown has much to say about this... not to mention that they HARASSED me and my family about our Red nose pitbull and how he is dangerous when he was one of the most friendly animals in our neighbourhood AND he was always on a leash... not only that, but when we had to put our pitbull down because he was old the woman AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY told me that "oh well good, now you know u shouldnt get another one of those".... what in gods name is that????????

point being, is that pitbulls get so much rap about being horrible animals and even as far as being banned now... yet two apparent "friendly" breeds tare apart to pieces a dog that is seemingly the bad breed...
just doesnt add up to me...

oh and just to let you know;
i have just talked to a witness, and i guess the dog was leashed and was dragged from his owners backyard and the leash was ripped off

hey i have seen too many pit attack stories.....i'm in southern ontario....and the media here just want headlines....the way i see this story is all parties are guilty....all dog should have been confined.....its sad the dog got killed..but all these owners are irresponsible owners.....if they where a little more responsible then this would not have happened and there would be no news story.

so your telling me that the pitbull's owner that was on a leash who got DRAGGED OFF THE LEASH is guilty? ahha.. i'm in southern ontario as well... so you dont need to tell me about media...
if the dog wasnt on a leash then maybe i'd say yes everyone is clearly guilty.. nonetheless, it shows the public that pitbulls arent always what the media attempts to precieve them to be....

not only that, but i have a Blue Bully pitbull that is 110lbs ... he is socialized to be nothing but friendly... and if two aggressive dogs came up to him, i am 100% positive he wouldnt know what to do... this probably is the case in this situation.. a dog who has been specifically trained to shy away from aggression (only because of his breed) and because of this, gets torn apart by psychotic dogs.

Just an fyi Jinner... many, if not most of us, are pittie-lovers or at the very least anti-BSL'ers. And wdawson (Wayne) who has a pittie cross, is very vocal on the issue.

I see many problems in this story, the greatest being the lack of by-laws on the reserve.
