Update on The Mighty Quinn

I am happy to report that it was a big .... but very successful ... day for Quinn. His foster Mom reports " Here is Quinn home from surgery with his lovely hat on (so he doesn't chew his stitches). He had 4 teeth pulled, 2 large molars and 2 in front that were full of hair from years of flea biting!

His neuter went well (he might not agree) and the tumour has been removed. We decided not to test it since Dr. Hall believes that all of it has been removed. It may have been cancerous but now he is free from it and is ready to heal.
Free to heal ... free to have fun .... free to finally learn the new skills needed for domestic bliss ... and free to find a kindred spirit who can appreciate the lifetime of love that Quinn has saved up.

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.
