In Ontario these days, discrimination based on appearance which is based on mythology is de rigeur.  The trogs have swallowed the pitbullshit hook, line and sinker.

In Brantford this week, a dog owner went to buy a licence for her dog.  For reasons unknown at this point, she forgot to buy one last year. wasn't shown in the city's files as having bought one for 2007.

Guess what the penalty for not buying a dog tag is in Brantford, if they think you own a mythical 'pit bull'?

Here it is from the owner's email:

On Friday Feb. 15 2008 I went to city hall to get Heira her 2008 dog license. There I am told that we did not get her a 2007 dog license, thus we have three options.

1) Find her a home out of Brantford
2) Kill her
3) Let the SPCA take her

This is all because of City of Brantford Municipal Codes Chapter 206 ("the pit-bull ban"). She had been "grandfathered" in, but by not getting her 2007 license she forfeits that clause..

Since 90% of people don't buy dog tags in Ontario, I guess the courtrooms and pounds are going to be awfully crowded.

Ontario, why I hate it.
