In 1975, the book, Animal Liberation , written by Australian philosopher Peter Singer, was published, and the modern Animal Rights Movement was launched. It is important for all dog and cat lovers - whether breeder, exhibitor, or pet owner - to understand the difference between “Animal Rights” and the more traditional “Animal Welfare.” Animal Welfare is the concept that humans have the obligation to ensure that the animals in our society, whether pets, livestock, research subjects or wildlife, are treated humanely and appropriately in our interactions with them. Animal Rights is the concept that non-human animals have the right, by virtue of their existence, to not be used by humans for any purpose at all - neither food, clothing, entertainment nor research. In 1987, the following agenda was formulated by Animal Rights Activists for inclusion in the US Greens party platform, and may be considered the framework of the Animals Rights Movement. Pay particular attention to #10. This is a summarized version; a more complete version can be found in The Hijacking of the Humane Movement (see Recommended Reading at end of essay) Abolish by law all animal research Abolish by law the use of animals for cosmetic and product testing, and classroom demonstration.

Ban The Deed not The Breed View Current Signatures Sign the Petition To: City of St.John's NL ,Canada Ban the DEED not the Breed! To Mayor Andy Wells, We the undersigned believe that Breed Bans and or Breed Specific Legislation are a short term, short-sighted attempt to deal with the issues surrounding canine related injuries. Statistics on dog bites and dog related injuries simply do not support the assertion that one breed has a predisposition to be more aggressive versus another. In Canada there are no laws making it mandatory to report dog bites. The Canadian Safety Council acknowledges that breed bans and or breed specific legislation do not address the real problem which is irresponsible dog owners. NO form of legislation will not stop dogs from biting ,but enforcing responsible dog ownership will dramatically lower bite incidences. ALL dogs can and will bite under given circumstances. If any community wishes to seriously discuss this issue,let us look at the facts gathered from the following organizations: Center for Disease Control, Canadian Federation of Humane Societies The Federation for Animal Welfare Humane Society of the United States. The Canadian Safety Council, The Canadian Veterinarian Medical Association, American Veterinarian Association, National Companion Animal Coalition

The RSPCA, the secretariat for the committee, had suggested the subject for the MPs to consider - "Dangerous Dogs Act in Germany" before the Summer recess and recommended that the KC be asked to provide the briefing. I assume that a formal set of minutes will be published in due course but, as usual, I thought people would want to know about the meeting. Caroline Kisco and Phil Buckley represented the Kennel Club and several other major UK animal welfare organisations such as the British Veterinary Association, RSPCA and NCDL were represented in the visitors area. Caroline made the initial introduction to the events of the past 6 months and explained why we objected to Breed specific legislation in general - including the UK's current laws! I was then asked to explain why the actions in Germany are concerning UK dog owners.

AVMA Home AVMA Journals Home JAVMA online ... News May 15, 2003 Breed discrimination bites homeowners Insurance companies dropping home insurance coverage for owners of large dog breeds Shushu, a 9-year-old spayed Dalmatian, is a favorite playmate for the children in her Randolph, Mass., neighborhood and a regular blood donor at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "She's a lovable dog," said her owner, Barbara Mersal, an MSPCA employee. "I've never had a problem." So, Mersal was shocked when she received a letter from her homeowners insurance company informing her she was being dropped because of Shushu. The dog, the company argued, was a breed that would no longer be covered. Mersal's decade-long relationship with the company would end because of a beloved dog. Mersal is not alone. Many insurance companies are looking to cut costs by excluding owners of large breed dogs from homeowners insurance plans. Breeds that have been targeted include pit bull-type dogs, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Chow Chows, Akitas, Siberian Huskies, and German Shepherd Dogs, and in some cases, even Dalmatians and Boxers. Insurance companies defend the breed-specific measures, saying that dog bite injuries account for more than one-third of all liability claims against homeowners insurance. These claims cost the industry $310 million in 2001, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

AVMA Honors Syndicated Columnist and Radio Host, Steve Dale, With Top Humane Award Schaumburg, IL American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) will honor Steve Dale, locally based, but nationally syndicated radio host and newspaper columnist, as the 2002 recipient of the AVMA Humane Award. The AVMA Humane Award is the only AVMA award presented to a non-veterinarian. It recognizes exceptional compassion for animal welfare and humane efforts on behalf of animals. As a syndicated columnist and radio host, Dale touches the lives of millions of pet owners every day. His bi-weekly syndicated column, “My Pet World,” is featured in more than 100 newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune, The Detroit Free Press and The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. “Pet Central,” his weekly radio show is broadcast locally in Chicago and “Animal Planet Radio” and “The Pet News” air across the country. He reaches millions of listeners. His messages are compelling as he tackles tough issues and gets results. Because of Mr. Dale, “pet dumps”-trash chute-type drop off facilities for unwanted pets-were closed in one community. When a Chicago alderman announced plans to introduce legislation with breed-specific language after two dog-bite fatalities, Mr. Dale invited her on his radio program to hear the issues and concerns of pet owners. In addition, he worked with legislators and animal experts to write non-specific breed legislation. The Chicago Animal Control Act is now a legislation model for cities around the country.

Reviews: Rating: Lafayette Parish sets trend for dog ordinances Gannett News Sevice April 5, 2004 LAFAYETTE — Animal welfare groups across the country are lobbying communities to end so-called “breed specific” animal control laws to instead punish the people who own them. As dog attack incidents began receiving more coverage nationwide, Lafayette city-parish officials last year knew it was a matter of time before they would have to test the legality of local animal control legislation, said District 5 Council member Lenwood Broussard. “We were one of the first communities in the country to pass what I term a ‘reaction law,’ ” he said. News of vicious dog attacks across the country usually increases the demand for breeds that are in danger of being banned. Breed-specific laws are also impossible to enforce.
