Please help us save our dog!!Target:To keep our Staffordshire Terrier in Brantford, ON.Sponsored by: Elizabeth and Scott WhittinghamHeira is a 7 year old Staffordshire terrier, who has been a loved member of our family for over 6 years. We got Heira from a local animal rescue organization. She had been saved from an abusive owner who was starving her, beating her, and breeding her (she had a litter of pups at around 6 months old). It has taken us years to get her health back up but there is some unfortunate internal damage. She does not always know when she needs the bathroom. Heira has a sad story to tell, and we, her loving family, do not want a sad ending.

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, ON Canada
2) Kill her
3) Let the SPCA take her

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

If Heira was any other breed of dog there would be no problem getting her a license. If she was any other breed of dog that had a history of biting and had been deemed a dangerous dog, we would have received a $130 fine. The problem is she is a pit-bull.

Heira is an extremely loving dog. She is an 80pds lap dog who loves to play with my two year old son Quenton. Heira is our child and a big sister. I know she would die to save any member of this family, and we will not lose her without a fight!

 58 Library Board Meeting about the Cats [58:07m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Mayor Bill Schneider (I know it is spelled wrong but I really could care less) tried to force and intimidate the board members into getting rid of the library cats.  He even tried to stop the live feed that was being broadcast all over the world!  He didn’t accomplish either task!  Listen here to listen to our debate over the cats.  You will also understand that our mayor is a complete self-centered egotistical jerk! In my opinion anyway.

Pawz up!

Regardless if it goes out over the live show or not, I will still be speaking on the cats behalf.

Pawz Up,

 Pawz Lawz with Randy Turner: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Who says that clicking a link is a waste of time?  It turned out to be a goldmine for me!  That is how I found my new friend, Randy Turner Attorney at Law.  Then to top it all off, he mostly works in the field of animal law defending activists and people like me who want the best for animals.  We had so much to talk about that we ended up having a 1 hour 20 minute show!  This is also a kickoff show for Randy’s new monthly commentary Pawz Lawz which will be posted right here on our web site.

So get to know Randy, his law practice, his views on the new Animal Control Legislation Chapter 91 that was recently passed in Louisville, KY.  Also find out how you can fight that legislation if you happen to disagree with it.

We also learned all about the Texas Humane Legislation Network, why they were established, and what their goals are for Texas legislation.  You’ll be amazed at the current Texas laws on animal cruelty and such.

Plus here some incredibly important information on the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, what it means for you, and how you can help fight it.

It was a fun show packed full of great legal information.  Be sure to save your copy today!

Thank you so much for listening to the show!

 Special Edition ATN with TPC: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This past Friday, I had the pleasure of attending a round table discussion with Kim Bloomer, Jeannie Thomason, and special guest Ron Hevener for a special edition show on Animal Talk Naturally.  You can listen or download the show from their web site.  The link is included at the end of Kim Bloomer’s statement about the show; so please continue to read.  If you prefer to listen to it on this site, then feel free to click the play button.  However, you will probably wish to read the synopsis on Animal Talk Naturally because Kim did a wonderful job with this show.

Here is a copy of the press release sent out by the host of Animal Talk Naturally, Kim Bloomer:

Hello, my name is KIM BLOOMER host of the online radio show, ANIMAL TALK NATURALLY, along with my partner JEANNIE THOMASON -natural rearing breeder of Boston Terriers. We were privileged to have RON HEVENER as our special guest yesterday to share with our live audience and beginning today our syndicated audience, information about the anti-animal ordinance that just passed in Louisville, KY. Also present was LEIGH FOSTER, host of THE PAWZ CAUZE, to tell us a bit about her interview with KAREN BRINKLEY who is the legislative liaison for THE RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS ASSOCIATION OF LOUISVILLE.We learned so much as we all discussed our concerns. In his usual eloquent style, Mr. Hevener helped us all to see what we can do in simple, consistent fashion that gave us all hope and the belief that we already ARE winning. He also stripped away the deceptive exterior of these anti-animal laws disguised as “public safety” ordinances to expose the real agenda behind this anti-pet, anti-owner, anti-American, cruel, heartless movement.We invite you all to listen in as we are left with a renewed hope and vigor to rise above the fear and negativity these ordinances are bringing, to bravely turn the tides in a spirit of love, truth and hope as a united American team of animal ambassadors.
