Please Sign and Share! Trying to END BSL in Ontario!

Despite passing Bill 16 through the Legislature at second reading with all party support, as well as passing through Committee, Dalton McGuinty killed Bill 16 when he prorogued the Legislature.

However, it is fully within Premier Kathleen Wynne's power to reconstitute Bill 16 as it was the day McGuinty prorogued. Tell the new Premier to put Bill 16 back on the Order Paper for Third Reading so that it can be voted on immediately.

Sign the petition below and share with all of your friends and family.

A Petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario

WHEREAS currently the law takes the onus off of owners that raise violent dogs by making it appear that violence is a matter of genetics;

AND WHEREAS the Dog Owner’s Liability Act does not clearly define a pit bull, nor is it enforced equally across the province as pit bulls are not an acknowledged breed;

WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: That the government brings Bill 16 Public Safety Related to Dogs Statute Law Amendment Act, 2011 back for third Reading.

Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.

You don't have to live in Ontario in order to sign?

Nigel, I believe the petition is open for anyone to sign, no matter where you live :) Someone did asked that on a FB page I was viewing, unfortunately no one answered the person. I haven’t been able to find anything anywhere that states it is only for Ontario-residents. After all, BSL effects everyone no matter where you live. An excellent example is Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Mark Buehrle has recently had to leave his family behind in the US because their beautiful Pitbull Slater isn’t allowed here. I know people who live outside of Ontario, in Canada and the US that will cannot and will not visit Ontario because of their beloved dogs. Other friends have moved outside of Ontario because they are sick of having their dogs discriminated against and having to muzzle their harmless, sweet senior dogs. Please sign the petition, it would be greatly appreciated! :)
