I found it difficult to come down on one side or the other for this article. At first I thought it tongue n cheek, then somewhere 2/3 rd of the way through, I went hmmmmm. Could the author want to convey a message and used a tongue in cheek subterfuge to do it?


I am against BSL legislation and yet in so many States and Provinces we continue to loose that battle.


I also feel that pet owners do come under attack and erosion of our rights to own and love dogs. We make an easy target.


We are poorly represented and we have no coherent voice. We are sadly divided amongst ourselves and we are our own worst enemy when it comes to legislation.


Look at the divisions that can be leveraged against owners who love and want to own dogs; pet owners not understanding or supporting breeders, pet owners who have a bias against certain breeds of dogs, pet owners who want to spay and neuter early, pet owners who don't, pet owners who believe in vaccinations, and pet owners who believe in just enough vaccinations, pet owners who believe in training, and those that don't. We criticize those owners who allow their dogs off lead, those that don't pick up poop, dogs that pee on trees and lawns.
