A Great Idea for a Mother's Day Gift

As a mother and a grandmother, I can promise you that I already have all the pots and pans and gadgets I could possibly ever need. In this 'scent free' day and age, I just saw the very coolest idea for a Mother's Day present ever.CAPS Mothers Day Flyer . ( I put a copy in the CAPS section of the homeless pet site.)
Our grandmothers and mothers might have wanted perfume and kitchen gadgets, but in this 'scent free' age, mothers are individuals and not stamped out of a mold. The reason gifts of 'giving' have become so popular is that people care about the world around them and want to make a difference.
This is a great way to get something meaningful for Mom that will still warm her heart ... and that she won't have to rearrange her cupboards to make space for.

BSL is NOT the Path to Public Safety because:

Many dogs are misidentified and consequently destroyed because of their apprearance
It is often difficult, even for experts, to determine the breed of a dog, particularly when considering mixed breed dogs
Breed -discrimination laws cause unintended hardship to responsible owners of friendly dogs who happen to fall within the regulated breed category
Breed -discriminatory laws compromise public safety by requiring officers to enforce regulations on dogs who may or may not be dangerous, instead of investing resources into proven, effective tactics that make the community safer
Every dog is an individual, with his or her own unique personality. A dog should be judged on temperment and not appearance.
The police and animal control will lose the public's trust by seizing and killing pets simply because of their appearance
Studies of pre and post-breed-ban dog bite rates in the United Kingdom and Spain concluded that their breed discriminatory laws had no effect whatsoever on reducing dog bites.
Italy recently revoked its breed restrictions, stating that the ban had no scientific justification.
Closer to home, Calgary has the lowest dog bite rates in 25 years without enacting breed discrimination.
Last but definitely not least, here in Nova Scotia it will create a conflict for any SPCA shelters who perform contractual work for animal control, given the SPCA official position of No Kill.
