The chokehold of Sharia law tightens another notch.
Exactly.
A few years ago, I noticed that many areas of my city, such as parks and playgrounds, require that dogs be on a leash. Cats, on the other hand, can run free.
I called city hall about it and it seems that the reason is that certain people might get upset that there might be gods around. I asked a few roundabout questions and it seems that one reason behind the leash requirement is a certain “religion of peace”, one in which dogs are regarded as offensive.
Oh, there are no-leash areas where dogs are allowed to run freely. Many of them are located in more remote areas of the city and aren’t necessarily the nicest areas (e. g., located near high-voltage power lines).
The leash requirement hasn’t stopped people from letting their critters run free in places such as empty schoolyards. I don’t think they pay much attention to that bylaw, possibly because they might think it’s rather silly.
I’ve yet to see anyone object to those dogs playing fetch with their masters, having fun and getting exercise while doing so nor have I seen anyone being attacked.
Then again, since when does city hall act in a logical manner?
Welcome to the club!
We already had the “class” for dog owners to take before being allowed to own a dog…. that’s right ‘had’. It came into effect in 2008, costing everyone at least 200 bucks per dog. It got dropped by the end of 2016. No refunds… of course.
Named collars and leashes have been banned a long time ago. Great money opportunity for the perpetually needed dog trainers and animal communicators and vets etc. etc. Etc.
… right, cats run (and shit) free by the millions. Here too. No rules. No bans. No taxes.
It’s not the dogs or dog collars that are the problem, it’s the people who own them. some people are just not fit to own any pet. They don’t educate themselves about the breed they adopt or how to deal with them.
So called “neighbourhood” cats are more of a problem, owners let them run free to poop in the neighbourhood gardens. That’s only part of it, it’s irresponsible ownership and dangerous for the cats as well. Most municipalities have bylaws but never enforce them.
“These morons are actually in charge of a city. Think about that.”
I’ve thought about it and, yes, absolutely they are morons.
I love dogs and I’ve had a number of them. Two years ago the best dog I’ve ever had died. Still think about him. A boxer/bull mastiff mix… no doubt accidental. Beautiful in appearance. Slightly brindled. Small though for that combination, only 90 lbs. So smart. And super Alpha dog. Very tolerant and gentle unless angered. If another dog came up to him he would just strike a pose as if to say ‘behold my greatness’. It was enough. But if he decided to go a certain way that was different than I wanted to go …. a choke collar was the only hope I had of controlling him and it was tough even then.
Yeah, morons. It’s a prerequisite for most pandering politicians.
Would love to walk my neighbors 80 pound Pit Bull down the street with a hangman noose rope tied around his neck and dare any Libturd try and remove it.
Collar police would lose their hands and ass.
Yet another example of political whores wasting time on a non-existent problem to mollify a handful of mush-brained *&^%$#g idiots.
Toronto: old Wendat word meaning “where chiefs squat”.
read an article some years ago. 55 pound pit took second in pull contest, she pulled 777 pounds, the winner a 110 pound malamute pulled about 820 pounds. I would like to see one of these idiots hold back either one of those 2 dogs.
My friends 120 chessy could pull him around like a rag doll, and he weighed twice that, and was a powerfull man, not a porker.
Pols need to justify their paycheck and stroke their EGOs.
Perhaps we should file a Kickstarter project to develop politician choke collars, with electrical prongs and a muzzle. I think they’d sell.
Yes…ahem. Why, I ‘member the time my old Greater Glengarry Moosehound, Jerome, snapped a five-eighths cable when he was skiddin’ out a Bullwinkle he had taken down earlier that day in a palmetto swamp up here on the high plains. Did I mention the mud? Up to his shoulders…four feet deep. A mighty dog, old Jerome.
De Baeremaeker is an activist first and a thinking person second. Having found some success as an environmental zealot he now turns his attention (and limited mental reasoning skills) to interfering with responsible pet ownership. Moron indeed.
I have had a couple of large breed dogs in my life and always used a choke chain for control until the dog would walk without putting pressure on it’s neck. nothing wrong or inhumane about doing so. maybe some of the politicians need to be lead to the truth with a choke chain and a strong leash.
1. In 1986, nonfatal dog bites resulted in an estimated 585,000 injuries that required medical attention or restricted activity; in that year, dog bites ranked 12th among the leading causes of nonfatal injury in the United States (5). In 1994, an estimated 4.7 million persons (1.8% of the U.S. population) sustained a dog bite; of these, approximately 800,000 (0.3%) sought medical care for the bite (6).
2. Of an estimated 333,700 patients treated for dog bites in emergency departments (EDs) in 1994 (2), approximately 6,000 (1.8%) were hospitalized (3).

There are only two rules you ever need to remember about government.
ONE People in power only care about keeping it and expanding it.
TWO Registration leads to confiscation. Dogs, cars, guns, RSP, anything that gets registered, they will come after. Refer to rule one.
You can keep voting away your personal liberty for more security. When you end up with neither, don’t look to me for sympathy.
ONE People in power only care about keeping it and expanding it.
Perhaps not those in power, but certainly there are many in the bureaucracy are like that.

These politicians need to be “rescued” by PETA … where they will be adopted-out to a foreign country … or worse.
Exactly, you start with the slip collar aka (the choke chain) and within few months you have a dog that walks on lose leash with a regular flat collar. They are an excellent training tool and unlike gentle leaders, harnesses etc that merely restrict bad behavior, the slip collars teach dogs proper behavior.
Yeah not gonna happen in Morontario, here pitbulls are verboten and killed by the state if found. Because publik safety and soccer mon squealing with orgasmic joy that their precious is thus safe.
Melmelin, you had a compulsory class – and fee- prior to owning a dog? Where the hell was that? Gotta be somewhere in California. I don’t think anyone else is that stupid. Are they?
“So called “neighbourhood” cats are more of a problem, owners let them run free to poop in the neighbourhood gardens.”
The cat pooped in your garden? Oh the horror!!!! We got f***ing coyotes in our corner of suburbia, foxes, coons, possums, skunks, rabbits, squirrels. And guess what? Everybody poops. But you have a problem with cats. It is because of people like you that our enlightened municipal government is now harassing cat owners who let their cat lose or merely people that leave snacks and water for local cats. It is because of people like you that the cop wonnabes from humane society are now trying to catch neighbourhood cats and fine the owners. I’d poop in your garden if I knew where you live.
“Perhaps not those in power, but certainly there are many in the bureaucracy are like that.”
The bureaucrats are in power.
My wife love’s her slip collar whats wrong with a dog wearing one?
Perhaps I was vague in my comment. Those at the top, those who are elected to their positions might not necessarily be the ones engaging in empire-building, though that happens frequently.
I have noticed, however, that same empire-building in the lower bureaucratic ranks, regardless of which system or institution I was dealing with. I encountered it in government (city hall seems to be the worst in my experience), the post-secondary educational system, and in large corporations.
That is EXACTLY the way every obedience training class (I have ever attended with my puppies) taught us. Start with the “harsh” collar … then transition. My last Bernese Mt. Dog was easy to train, and very obedient … however … when on leash, she would still get very excited/happy and would knock-over little children if I didn’t have a solid collar and leash. It is called responsible dog ownership
another example of civic politishuns solving one problem by creating thousands more.
I use a slip collar on my mastiff because if *isn’t* doing his tractor pull routine, it snugs loose on his neck, otherwise holds tight with me at the other end. other fixed size collars are too tight otherwise, ie tight enough for those moments he decides to suddenly detour.
I’m working on the desireable ‘leash slack’ but he’s also part hound so likes to zigzag and wander hither and thither. but Im working on it.
There are other very stupid places. Switzerland.
But you were allowed to buy the dog first and then take the class. Otherwise, how could they teach you how to correctly use a clicker and treatsm? (No. I’m not kidding.)
Yes; and they are literally murder for small birds. But Muhammed (p.b.u.h.) liked cats. Hated dogs.
