Fingers Crossed

I came across this article today and wanted to share it. Many bully advocates have been fighting the good fight to reverse the ban in Ontario and let's hope one day that we'll have a breakthrough.

Pit bull ban challenged

TORONTO - An appeal to a 2007 court ruling that bans pit bulls in the province of Ontario will be heard Monday. Toronto civil rights lawyer Clayton Ruby filed the appeal, claiming the ban is unconstitutional and too vague because the definition of pit bull is too broad.The ban includes four specific breeds of pit bull terrier but also a clause that states any dogs that look "substantially similar" to pit bulls.Ruby said he'd be surprised if there were more than 150 of the specified dogs in Ontario - namely Staffordshire, American Staffordshire, pit bull, and American pit bull terriers - and that the clause could include dozens of different breeds.Ruby is arguing the case on behalf of Toronto pit bull owner Catherine Cochrane.
