Hello,

This email was sent by one of my clients, please read it carefully and act accordingly. We have to fight for our dogs

Thank you.

Animal interest groups,  met with Vancouver City Council, to discuss
> their strategic planning, in regards to dog legislation and
> management, for 2005.  The outcome of the meeting was that the report
> Councillor Stevenson recommended, on the feasibility of a breed ban in
> Vancouver, which is to be issued THIS February 17th, is not
> recommending a breed ban in Vancouver.
>
> However, the report DOES RECOMMEND examining the feasibility of a ban on
> a PROVINCIAL LEVEL, as an alternative. Nor does it stop City Council
> from completely disregarding the recommendation all together,  and
> still proceeding to attempt to put through a local ban. Victoria
> Council is currently looking for support as well on this issue.
>
> Other feedback from this meeting was that, while nobody present at the
> meeting supported a ban, of all public correspondence received by
> Council on this issue, the majority were in SUPPORT of a breed ban.
>
> *****This means pittie lovers better start writing as we need more
> support and need our voices heard!*******
>
> Also, it is an election year in Vancouver, and it's no secret that
> Stevenson wishes to make a move from municipal politics up to a
> Provincial level.
>
> TIME TO GET WRITING FOLKS ! Contact information can be found at the
> end of this e-mail.

> HugABull plans to be very involved in the city's process with this. We

> sign up for time to speak at the City Council meeting on Feb. 17th.
> The more voices, the better!! We will be receiving a preliminary copy
