SPCA threatens to end pound services if Montreal bans pit bulls
Montreal Gazette ^ | 31 Aug 2016 | Michelle Lalonde

Posted on 09/01/2016 6:25:08 AM PDT by onona

The Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is considering ending its animal shelter service contracts with the 12 Montreal boroughs it now serves if Montreal goes ahead with its plan to outlaw the acquisition of pit bull dogs and pit bull mixes, a lawyer with the Montreal SPCA said Wednesday.

The SPCA isn’t the only game around. Wish them good-bye and good luck.

Humane Society, etc., bought and paid for by the Moveons. Takeover was the same time that rescue shelters started to push people to “rescue” dangerous dogs that someone else got rid of. Has anyone else noticed this? Pits started showing up everywhere, with new self-righteous “rescuers”— it’s like the progressives, after ruining the family, want to ruin having a kindly family dig!

I have noticed this...and I quit volunteering at our local shelter as a result of it.

It’s funny, in a not funny way: When someone blows themself up to kill a bunch of innocent people, we just assume it’s a muslim. And guess what? We’re right every time. And then the apologists for “peaceful” muslims come out.

I’m finding that whenever I hear about a person being mauled or killed by a dog, I now just assume it’s a pit bull (or at least a mix). and guess what? I’m right every time.

And then the apologists come out about what nice dogs they are and it must be the owners. Now, I’m actually somewhat sympathetic to that message, but still, you don’t hear about irresponsible owners causing their poodles to maul and kill.

If you get my drift.

I see a lot of parallels here.

Yep. There are basically two types of pitbull owners:Thugs/thug’s women and liberals.

A pit bull has huge jaws like a steel trap, regardless of temperament. Use of them is up to the dog.

That’s my take.

I’ve used this analogy for years: Imagine a pit pull with the temperament of a dachshund. I see pit bulls as sort of a midway between having a dog and having a tiger. I’m scared of even the “nice” tigers.

People think I’m nuts sometimes for ascribing so much to the Progressive NGOs and the Soros types — but then I found out that the ASPA donates a pile of money to Al Sharpton. Boys/Girls donates to Planned Patenthood...it’s a fetid mess. I do believe that the evil players out there truly want to ruin any thing that makes a person happy—so they move to replace pooches with monsters. Then they try to regulate breeders of good dogs out of business —

A dog’s temperament is bred into them. It has little to do with the owners. That’s why labs are service dogs—and the intelligent German Shepherd is a police dog. No K-9 unit EVER goes for a vicious, pig-eyed and stupid pit. Great Pyranees are essential for a herd of small ruminants. (These are a favorite of mine, though way too much dog)—Poodles are circus dogs, balletic and so smart they’re scary...so saying that a vicious breed designed to be gladiators is a “tabula rasa”— what total BS

Poodles are...so smart they’re scary.


We have a 7 year old Maltipoo (half poodle). It is absolutely absurd how smart that thing is. We got a golden retriever a year ago and it’s as dumb as a cat in comparison.

The maltipoo has a vocabulary of around 40 words. It’s simply amazing. It also has almost as much character in its facial expressions as a human.

You can spell words out, but they figure that out, too!

I do like poodles—and the great thing is that they’ve been bred so long in so many different places that there are strong healthy bloodlines. The poodle has so many advantages as a companion—and the miniature and toy versions are very long-lived. You can eliminate the frou frou factor just by clipping the dog in non-traditional ways, particularly by getting rid of the top knot and flowing ears— “What kind of dog is that?” About a pure-bred, “oh, he has some poodle in him”—
