my letter to the editor submission

To the Hamilton Spectator, I wrote:

To those dog owners who support Bill 132, which is the proposed pit bull ban and dangerous dog law, wake up. By supporting this law, you could very well inadvertently send your dog to its early grave.

Even if you own a dog whose breed even slightly resembles a pit bull, it will be affected by this unjust law. Any dog of any breed that is deemed menacing could be taken away by authorities by whatever means necessary, and either euthanized or worse, sent to a laboratory for experimental testing. There is no definition for what is menacing for Bill 132. The behavior can be as simple as startling somebody by barking, or chasing away a cat in its yard.

Another problem with Bill 132 is that it encourages animal cruelty and assault. Already, there have been many cases with dog owners and their dogs are being brutally harassed and assaulted. We must band together to stop this madness before the situation gets even worse.

Hope they print it, like they've done with my other letters.
