Pre-emptive letter to prosecutor re Christmas stocking for Brindi, RCMP
By Francesca Rogier in SAVE BRINDI AND FRANCESCA FROM THE CITY OF HALIFAX!!!!

To: Katherine Salsman



Conversation: Please tell Christine Graham not to send the RCMP to harass me/request meeting now

Subject: Please tell Christine Graham not to send the RCMP to harass me/request meeting now



Dear Ms. Salsman:



It was wholly unnecessary for Ms. Graham, operator of Wyndenfog Kennels, to send the RCMP to my door to harass me for knocking on her door on Christmas Day at about 5:30 in the afternoon and leaving a stocking stuffed with treats for my dog, Brindi.

Ms. Graham cannot accuse me of anything other than that, and last I heard, it is not a crime, nor legitimate grounds for any ban. Delivering a Christmas gift usually does not require advance notice. I did not break in, I did not stay for any length of time.



I did not see anyone taking care of the place either. In fact, I was very concerned that no one was at home, because that means no one was looking after my dog yesterday. Not only does it pain my heart to see that Brindi was all alone on Christmas, but it was a very cold day and I worry that Ms. Graham turned the heat down or even off when she left. I wish to know exactly how long she leaves Brindi unattended on a daily basis. Can you please provide this information within a week’s time?



In the meantime, please instruct Ms. Graham that I am Brindi’s owner, not her, as she told the RCMP officers. This is totally incorrect. It concerns me to hear such misinformation being spread. I advise as well that she cease using law enforcement authorities for such purposes. It happens that Ms. Graham operates at least two if not three types of businesses at that address. She is surely accustomed to people coming to her door. I do not appreciate two officers visiting my home on Boxing Day or any other day, for no good reason. It was clear from their demeanor that they felt the same. Should she or you consider a PPA or accuse me of trespassing, I am prepared to defend myself in court. I welcome the chance for a court to review the circumstances of HRM’s indefinite detention of property. And since HRM tax revenue is paying for the use of Wyndenfog for this purpose, it certainly has a bearing on the matter.



Finally, my utmost concern is Brindi’s health, and your decision to forbid Dr. Larkin from photographing her is deeply troubling. I cannot imagine a legitimate reason for this sudden change. I wish to meet with you about this as soon as possible.

Well I found this on the occupy NS site!

Sorry I don't have time to comment on this,however if you go to occupy ns its all there...........Bottom line Frannie needs to be in charge and have control. Is it not time that the Canadian immigration took a stand and booted her sorry fat ass out of here? All she wants is a welfare state!

Francesca Rogier I'm thoroughly exhausted physically right now, so I may not say things very well or concisely, but I am just so astonished and dismayed by some of the people here who spent HOURS complaining, pre-judging, judging, and withholding, I cannot sleep. Did I miss it, or did nobody actually say they'd pitch in with a few bucks? Even those wishing Frenchy well, I have yet to see you put your money on the table, if you have any to spare.
Either you are willing to help out, or you are not; if not, skip the post and comment on something else. PLEASE. I truly wonder if any of you really intend to pitch in, or are only interested in grilling Frenchy, looking for a reason to dump on him if he happens to answer wrong. Others are interested more in elevating themselves by touting the wise choices they've made in their lives, as if to show they are certain are superior to Frenchy's choices.
The guy was humbly asking for help. Can you imagine dropping the judgement and helping out?? How reckless would that really be? It's Christmas in a few days! But any day of the year, really, what business is it of anybody else why he has two dogs, or whether he applied for assistance? Isn't that just a wee bit intrusive? Do you go around asking single moms why they are single and why they have kids, before you offer to help them? Offering to go with Frenchy to apply for welfare when he asked for help for his dogs - how really patronizing and condescending! Who can blame him for not buying that such talk is coming from a loving, respectful, and caring place.


Do people seeking help from fellow occupiers really need to fill
out an application now, with ID and sponsorship, or what?


Please, don't anybody offer to "facilitate" or ameliorate this discussion or my comments: there is no compassion whatsoever in withholding help til somebody answers a series of questions to your satisfaction, then agrees to a plan of action you think they should follow before you deign to give them a hand!! My god in frigging heaven, spare me!! Sure, some people do this, but it's not particularly compassionate and it sure ain't Christian. Imagine if the people donating all that clothing and money and food to Occupy NS were like this! We'd be in pretty sad shape, wouldn't we? We got thousands of dollars and it doesn't look like we even have a game plan, so don't be fussing about what Frenchy is doing by asking for a hundred or so to keep his dogs 1. ALIVE (safe from the cops) and 2. HEALTHY.


Frenchy is concerned about their health, which is a good thing. Did you all forget that up until yesterday, the cops were closing in on him day by day so they could take his dogs to an unknown fate?? All a few days before Xmas?? I only pointed out about six times that legislation says this is the job of animal services by-law officers, not HRM cops, and that it is not in the by-law to take such action, not to mention that only 95% of all HRM dogs are not tagged. Even the gas station attendant I talked to today knew this, but not many in this group seem to have processed it. WAKE THE HELL UP!!!
This is more police brutality and it is not pretty. When Frenchy got back to the Ark on Wednesday morning, the cops were waiting there to take his dogs. He happily pointed out the tags they are now wearing and one of the cops actually said "Fuck!" It makes me ill my property taxes are used to pay a bunch of sadists. The same sadists that have my dog locked up for over three years and smile at my pain and misery when I see her being trapped in the same building year after year, become old and ill - they smile and laugh!
The fact is that Frenchy's dogs are well-fed and well-liked, but even if they were not, I don't see any reason to withhold comfort and food from them, in fact, all the more reason to help out!
Frenchy just happens to be smart enough and savvy enough to know what he needs to do and is already doing it, but I did not stand around and make him jump through hoops before I decided to help him. All I needed to know was that the HRM cops were about to take his dogs and that he did not have the money to get the tags. That was enough; the rest rest was his business.


If you want some kind of guarantee that your charity won't go to waste - well, forget it! There are no guarantees in life. We all do the best we can. And if you think that's not good enough, fine, move on.

Talk about being a media whore!

""Francesca Rogier
Nearly an entire year ago, I sat down in a library with a free-lance writer for the Canadian Reader's Digest, and he interviewed me about Brindi for three hours. He said the magazine would publish an article of 1000 words within a few months. After four months, he said it would be out in another few months. After another few months, he said the editor was still interested and planning to publish it, but it never appeared, all year long. I do not know why. I wonder if people should write to the Reader's Digest and ask them to publish the piece! Anybody interested in helping?""

Don't worry Frannie people have written,to give the RD the other side of the story..the truth...not your lies. It is highly unlikely your lies will be on the pages of RD...so suck it up.

Looks like fran has been away

Wonder who looked after her cat??

""Francesca Rogier
I was just visiting my mom, who turned 90 at the end of October, and she is so distressed over it all, including about my sisters' stupidity with the lawyer, and about how that lawyer could be such a crook and get away with it, and - because she is really not a dog lover, and never has been, though she understands how important Brindi is to me - mainly she is distressed about how this has messed up my life and my plans so much. She wept so hard, and I wept with her.

WEll I sat here long enough doing Bull Shit Research

Occupy and Frannie,don't you all love it Frannie jumping up and down in glee, The dumb bitch hasn't got a clue,oh ya sure she has James Wiseman and Miles WTF in her corner. However the vast majority in their minds ( if they have one and that is a stretch), are beginning to see that Frannie wants to be in control and are telling her so. It seems that SFB is beginning to be a bit pissed off; just check her last posts on occupy. I do not have the time to past and copy all her BS.

Frannie all in favor of buying a old bus ........Why when her shack falls down she will have a new camp Ha Ha another winter with no water,heat,or septic Come on HRM show some balls boot her sick sorry fat ass out. If you can't or won't call Dexter or McKay surely someone has the power to remove this media whore.

I have done some math,and in the past 3 years this Bitch has cost tax payers of NS over 500,000$ Yet she remains here to suck more $ out of us I say enough is enough that money could of been put to much better use.

While I am on a rant....one more thing why in fuck is the unions backing occupy ns? to date they have received 6000$ of union money who will benefit.....Fran Will one way or another The only reason Fran does anything is for personal gain check out her history,as I said I haven't the time to past and copy all her shit.....use google,check out occupyns on FB.

"""""Francesca Rogier I don't know the hours, but you can try calling that number. If somebody could go to the SPCA in Burnside and make sure they don't have a cat matching that photo I would appreciate it too - I cannot call them because of their history with Brindi (they ruined her health, among other things...). They have a website. In both cases, Homeward Bound or the SPCA, they do not have to keep an animal for more than 72 hours.""""""

Oh Frannie give it a rest,no one really gives a rats ass about you,it was YOU who tried to make a fool out of the SPCA and Homeward Bound,Hell I recall that you were issued with a Police order to stay away from the SPCA,once you were allowed back under conditions ie no photos you made videos and posted on your blog,now go back and play with your new found friends at ONS,and see how much longer they put up with your shit....Ohhhhhh BTY not only is it against By laws to nail posters on telephone poles it falls under the CCC damage to property,love to see you charged,so you could say bye to NS .....Finally.

Oh Frannie you talking in the 3rd person again!

BULLET POINTS
In March 2012, Brindi's owner, Francesca Rogier, will be put on trial for by-law infractions stemming from a minor scuffle with a dog in front of her house on September 14, 2010. The dog was not seriously harmed. The owners were related to the people who first reported Brindi to the city, and one of them works for the ...city of Halifax.
If the court finds Francesca guilty on any charge, the prosecutor for Halifax will invoke a law allowing the court to order a dog put down as an "additional penalty".

BACKGROUND
In this case, Halifax is seeking a court order to kill Brindi as an “additional penalty”. This is a repeat of the first trial, where her owner was charged for three by-law violations – six months after the event, and immediately after the city lost its case in supreme court, but refused to return Brindi.
DOG LAW MUST BE ENFORCED USING REASON AND DISCRETION
Cities have a role to insure public safety, but within reason: they must also treat dogs and owners fairly. By-law infractions are minor offenses that are meant to be fined. Killing a dog is not a fair or moral penalty for any by-law infraction. If a city seeks to kill a dog it says is dangerous, it must present proper grounds. It must have proof that it has attacked with the intent to kill or do serious harm. It cannot fairly ask for “pre-emptive” action. Dogs that fight dogs are not necessarily a threat to public safety (dogs are not part of the public – if they were, they would have rights!). Dogs typically fight dogs as a way to establish dominance. It is no indication they will attack humans. And dogs can be trained out of this behavior. Fatalities due to dog attacks rank very low on the list of causes of accidental death and injury. They are not even among the top fifty.
UNFAIR TREATMENT OF DOGS AND OWNERS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Cities should be held to a consistent standard that is in keeping with their usual enforcement of the by-law. Halifax decided in 2008 to muzzle, then seize and destroy Brindi, fully aware that she had never attacked a person and had not injured dogs at all, except for one minor injury that was treated with first aid. Halifax’s decision to kill Brindi was thus way out of line with its customary enforcement. Its decision to seize Brindi once again is not only cruel and unusual punishment itself, but also in stark contrast with its handling of a recent case of a pit bull that attacked a woman in the throat and face. The city has never had Brindi’s behavior evaluated professionally. It will not be bringing an expert witness to the stand next week. (An animal control officer will testify, but she is not qualified in dog training and behavior.) Clearly Halifax is not pursuing this case in the interest of public safety.
BOTTOM LINE: BRINDI IS NOT A KILLER AND MUST NOT BE KILLED
Brindi was evaluated by several trainers and behaviorists at the request of her owner. None of these deemed Brindi dangerous. They regard her as territorial, and suggested more training. Brindi’s owner, Francesca Rogier, observed all court-imposed conditions for Brindi’s return. The conditions are: following a muzzle order, building and maintaining a dog run, and doing further training. The conditions were identical to the conditions she originally offered to the city in 2008, but were met with no response from the city. The incident leading to Brindi’s second seizure and third year behind bars was an accidental event. Freak accidents do happen: people should not be punished for them by the destruction of a beloved family member. Moreover, the incident was no more serious than previous incidents. Like those, it occurred on or near her property (i.e. at most, a few feet from the boundary). Brindi simply needed more time to readjust to her surroundings after being locked up for two years without contact with other dogs. Francesca worked with trainer Susan Jordan. She did more training that was required and continued after Brindi was released – not because a court ordered it, but because she wanted Brindi to be as perfect as possible.
Francesca needs support and prayers as she continues to prepare for the trial.

Now I make special note of Frannie's following statement:

"Francesca Rogier, observed all court-imposed conditions for Brindi’s return. The conditions are: following a muzzle order, building and maintaining a dog run, and doing further training. The conditions were identical to the conditions she originally offered to the city in 2008, but were met with no response from the city. The incident leading to Brindi’s second seizure and third year behind bars was an accidental event.""

Well SFB you got it somewhat right,but left out the leash bit as ordered by the Judge,however that is a mute point as Brindi was not even wearing a muzzle,during the last attack,let alone the leash. Of course accidents happen but lets look at it this way,you do drive through a red light and kill someone,yes its an accident however you will be charged and in all likely hood be found guilty; now do the same thing a few months later and kill another person,what in fuck are you going to do stand in front of the Judge and say it was just an accident,oh I'm sure the Judge will say ok it was just an accident so you are free to go....Like HELL SFB,you will pay the price,however in Brindi's case She will pay the price and you will get lots of media attention; IMO its you that should be locked up and Brindi should be free to run in the country on a large farm, Now go back to ONS and try to impress them, BTY I see you arn't doing to good there,on the tapes I seen you seem to be brushed off as a real nut case....what can I say but if it looks like a duck,walks like a duck,must be a duck,just change duck to nut and you will get it.

Francesca Rogier I believe it is absolute BS to detain James for two days, just as it was last week to detain the three of them for the rest of the weekend. It's called unlawful detention, habeas corpus; etc. Last Monday, a judge ruled that Rattrap's charges of obstruction of justice and violating his conditions were satisfied by "time served" and he was released - sounds fair, unless you consider that the charges and conditions were unreasonable and unfounded in the first place!

On and On it goes.

Here is a comment Frannie made on occupyns;its so interesting to note Fran is a USA citizen here in Canada as a guest,and all she seems to be doing is trying to excite a riot here,I am sending this entire Blog along with all the links to where she posts to Immigration Canada so they can see she should be considered a threat to Canadian security;and should be deported or locked up however deportation sounds like the best option.

"""Francesca Rogier
OK campers! Hear me now and understand me later, as they say...

I am once again growing very concerned that too many of us simply do not know or understand our fundamental rights, let alone appreciate the gravity involved when they are violated.

If you don't know your rights, how will you know when yours or someone else's are being violated, or what to do about it and when?
...
I believe it's the responsibility of everyone in a (self-proclaimed) democracy to know these things, and their duty to be vigilant and prepared to stand up for them. It's not enough to say "They can't do that, can they?" or talk about suing - that's not good enough for somebody sitting in jail, deprived of a phone call or food, or being beaten up.

Some people have an exaggerated idea of what protections are in place, others have no idea at all. Before you talk about conflict de-escalation techniques, or the global problems behind OWS: first things first! Read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Read the UN Charter of Human Rights. Don't even consider taking part in any kind of protest unless and until you do. This is the best for everybody. Nobody expects you to be a constitutional lawyer able to answer every possible question, but given what is happening these days, you ought to be familiar with the first eight sections of the Canadian Charter.

Thank you...""

Talk about sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong!

"Amanda Lee
At 3:50 today, James Wiseman called me to say he'd been arrested again for entering Cornwallis (i.e. Peace and Freedom) Park. As he was walking home, the police picked him up. He needed someone to sign for him so he could be released, so I left immediately. I got to the police station at 4:25, and was told that they were 'busy', so he was not ready to be released and they would call me when he was. If it's not before 7, he'll be held overnight...send good thoughts his way..let's hope they call soon so I can go and get him and he's not stuck there overnight!!

Francesca Rogier Amanda, it's up to you to decide what's best here, but if I can make some suggestions, if you can get back there and ask to speak to the officer in command - if they want to know why, say it's because you are very concerned about James' condition. If you can get to that person, work with him as well as possible: start with reasonable questions such as would they give him food if it was dropped off; express concerns for his health as he has lost weight recently, has little money to buy food, etc. (both true).

Francesca Rogier The problem is that police are pissed off so they want to treat this all as a criminal offense and believe they are doing their job. We just have to keep reminding the police (gently) that these charges stem from peaceful protests, people asserting their rights; if mistakes were made, fine, but they ought to be kept in mind. James is no danger to anyone, and he certainly will not violate conditions overnight...

Rick Van Wrinkle IMHO James should ask the Sargent on duty to have a doctor check him out as they didn't give him a proper check up at the hospital he went to. He said that he might have a concussion but they can't tell. They sure as hell can tell if happens to a hockey player. I would suggest that if no one takes him to the hospital to get checked out for the pains he has been experiencing then someone should write down the symptoms of what he has been experiencing and e-mail these to all city councillors and demand that this man be checked out properly for these injuries.

Francesca Rogier It took the lawyers at HRM three weeks to figure out another (unjust) way to evict me, after I made sure the inspector could not credibly do it. He comes under provincial law. So they just sent orders to by-law and they came the next day - never set eyes on them before, and they said my fence (that the inspector ordered and passed) was no good, and that was a reason for eviction; when I challenged that, they said it was because the house was unsafe. When I asked what was unsafe, they said nothing and threatened me with arrest.

Francesca Rogier I was denied the right of appeal on the excuse that the eviction was done on the "emergency clause" - a clause the law provides for cases where an order to remedy was issued (with 30 days to comply, and a week to appeal) and the owner ignored it. That was never done. The law does not explicitly rule out appeals under any circumstances; it would violate the Charter. But the councilor, Brad Johns, deferred to the HRM lawyer. Who of course had instructions.
I was denied the right to appeal the demolition order as well. They did a lot of very fancy, evil footwork throughout, then told me I had to go to the SUpreme Court to challenge it - which is untrue; I just found out I should have gone to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, they oversee decisions on Heritage property.

Francesca Rogier HRM hit me with four things the day before I went to court to try (in vain) for that injunction (oct. 8, 2010 - the supreme court judge "declined" jurisdiction, by the way - very odd indeed!): around 8:30 am Immigration called me to check status. They knew my status very well; the guy was sarcastic and amused, in fact. Around 9:30, five guys piled out of two cars from by-law, with the inspector, and he pointed vaguely to some cracked wood at the base of the piers - on the ground, where it could not collapse anywhere! - and the piers being a bit crooked - they could also not collapse, by the way - and left. About an hour later I was served with a summons by the woman who seized my dog two weeks earlier (They have begun to use women lawyers, women cops, women dogcatchers, on purpose, notice that??) This is after the Herald published the wrong charges, two days earlier. Then, in the evening as I was trying to prepare for court the next day, HRM dumped me with its enclosure file, which made me ill.

And then they lose in court and keep her, and then start a trial, and pay off the SPCA to keep silent - and then what? They seize her again at the first opportunity - and even the HRM dispatcher tried to help, talked me into filing a report that the other dog attacked Brindi - and they fired her for it, and tried to get me charged with it - which did not work, as they were illegally recording the calls!

Letter to the Chronicle Herald Editor

Syndicated from Media Co-op on Sat, 2011-11-12

I've copied and pasted a "letter to the editor" meant for the Chronicle Herald from a concerned citizen.

Dear Editor:

I want to thank you for your coverage of yesterday’s brutal and disgraceful - and very possibly unlawful – eviction of Occupy Nova Scotia. As I know all too well what it is like to be the victim of an unlawful eviction, I decided to go to the Halifax police station to await the release of the 14 men and women arrested on Friday. I picked up a copy of the Herald on the way home. As this shameful action will doubtless be recalled on Remembrance Day for years to come, I thought the following might be a matter of interest for your readers.

As your report indicates, HRM police took into custody at the Gottingen Street detachment sometime around 3:30 pm on Friday, charging each with “obstruction of justice”. Hearing they would be released around 11 pm, I went to the station that evening and waited quietly outside with about 25 others, among them the family of an 18 year old from New Glasgow. No journalists were present.

But 11 pm came and went, and still no one was released. Police apparently “processed” the arrestees one at a time. They insisted that they were not processing the ONS arrestees any slower than usual. However, they did not begin releasing them until around 1:30 am – and in ones and twos, about every hour. As for the speed of processing, another man (not part of ONS), was released after being charged for for cocaine possession and held for about an hour.

Also, police initially said they would be holding the two minors in the group, homeless boys aged 16 and 17, overnight. After we had a chance to assure them the boys would have a place to sleep at St. Andrews church, they were released, but not until around 3:30 am. By the time I left at 4 am, two were still in custody, including the only American in the group, who was the only one forced to pay a bail, which police set at $500. The other had been in direct communication with HRM police since the start of the occupation, Oct. 15, and had become a frequent subject of interviews by local media.

The Herald article mentioned that protesters complained about police punching peaceful protesters in the face and lifting them from the ground using chokeholds. I was told the same by many ONS participants during the course of the evening, in disturbing detail - yet also said “None appeared to be injured.” I find it hard to believe that your reporters did not take the trouble to find out that some of those punches and chokeholds were used on young girls, whose necks are now bruised quite badly. It is also perplexing that your reporters apparently missed the fact that protesters had occasion to call EMS was called to the scene to treat at least two people for injuries caused by police using excessive force. One was the 18 year old female, who was apparently hit in the chest hard enough to cause difficulty breathing and bruising. I believe she was one of the three your article described as being dragged through the mud.

The other protester treated by EMS is a tall 230 pound man, known to police for his daily video posts – which include a friendly interview with the mayor during the first week of the occupation. Others recorded this man being tackled by police;. He only recalls waking up in the paddy wagon. EMS found that he had an injured wrist, two sprained or dislocated shoulders, a dislocated jaw, and a concussion, among others. Multiple witnesses say neither she nor the man injured taunted or assaulted police or actively resisted arrest. The public doesn’t have to take their word for it; they can decide for themselves with the aid of audio interviews of the arrestees on the media co-op website and videos of the event posted there and elsewhere. Two of the other protesters also say they heard and saw one cop taunting the injured man, calling him “Candy-ass”, etc., in an attempt to get him to attack him - doubtless so that further criminal charges could be laid. The man resisted the temptation, thankfully.

Each protester arrested was told they would not be released until they signed a statement that appears to bind them to “conditions” banning them from every public park in HRM. And most of them say they were not read their rights at the time of arrest; only a few said they were read once they were in custody at the police station. The homeless boys have no idea when and how they will get their belongings back.

I am too tired to continue, but I believe the public would be very dismayed by the full details of the heavy-handed forced eviction of these people – who the mayor so brazenly implied are not part of the general public.

I believe most Haligonians are by now aware that ONS occupiers scrupulously kept their end of the bargain. On Nov. 11, we learned that the mayor never had any intention of honoring his word - which he changed from day to day. I now know that HRM police went much further than that, so that Kyle Buott’s words apply universally.

I hope that residents of Halifax give serious thought to these things before making their minds up about ONS – and about Mayor Peter Kelly.

Francesca Rogier

Why in Hell would an American Citizen ever care,I guess Brindi is on the back burner,Oh than there is the sore finger....Courts will have a field day now...to funny!

The """"EXCUSE""

Now we know why court was delayed poor Frannie on pain meds,well it hasn't slowed her up on twitter I have heard of lame excuses before but that tops the list. With all the monet she has scammed people out of I would think she could hire a taxi;or have a neighbour friend drive her............but oh wait she has no friends in HRM. "Robert Riley When you smash your finger and the doc puts you on pain med it is not a good idea to drive a car from where she lives.And I have driven with her a few times and I would not like to be with her on pain meds.My opinion only."

DELAY,DELAY,DELAY.

Well after waiting over a year for the trial,fran is up to her old tricks, The following message has been posted on FB.

"Robert Riley
Important news everybody: the court for Brindi is postponed until March! What happened is, Francesca had an accident, moving cinderblocks and smashed her finger. She went to the doctor, they told her not to use it for a few days. So she sent the medical report to the judge and asked me to go there this afternoon to ask for an adjournment for her. I guess the HRM lawyer was against adjournment but the judge looked at the paper and said it was acceptable. Francesca is not happy about the new date. The courts are so booked up. If there is another way to get Brindi home sooner, I think she needs a good rest first so she can heal her finger. And she asked me to thank you all for all the support, prayers, and letters. Thank you!""

Now she has a Boo Boo on her finger,however its not enough to keep her off Twitter,interesting. Several of us thought Fran would pull some trick to delay however this is now going beyond all common sense on her part,or is she just plain stupid? Well now, it could be more time to collect more $ who knows with the leach.
There is no way she should of been allowed a delay with a sore finger,now if the cinder block landed on her head that would of been a different story,but a fucking finger?
Its time Dexter and the federal gov,had a serious look at her; the lady is a nut case and should be sent back where she came from ASAP.In fact I will be talking to Dexter this week and you can bet your bippy that I will be asking that he has a serious look at her status to stay in Canada,the woman is a leach on society and should be deported and never be allowed back to pollute our nice province with her Bull Shit.

$50 an hour and still begging for money?

UPDATE COMING SOON!

Its soon time to advise the rest of the world on some facts re Fran Rogier,I see she is again putting a drive on for more money by her begging all over the world.

When we have more time the world will know the truth,not lies from Fran!

Phone number now puplic!

Since Fran posted her # on a public forum,I thought that I would help her to get it out there.

"franyafranya franya
@WisemanTimes IF you hear anything tonight about stuff re JG or the like please call 827 3716! THanks!""""

But I would add......FOR A GOOD TIME CALL 827 3716,ask for FRAN....I further add...BRING YOUR $.

Fran Loves the Charter of Rights.

Found this on Fran's FB page:

""Francesca Rogier
I just found out that not only did Halifax put an unfair lien on my property for $10,500 (for a fence and boards they had no cause or right to erect after unlawfully evicting me), then inexplicably add it to my property tax, label it "arrears" and charge a whopping (unheard of) 15% annual interest - all as a prelude to seizing it in 12 months (up next July) as an overdue account - but also, now, to get information about why and how they did it, they say I have to pay $30 for a phone call to the taxation office!!! all under by-law F-300! http://www.halifax.ca/revenue/tax/index.html F is for "F... you, Charter of Rights and Freedoms! And every single person living here as well!"""

Well Well now wasn't that nice of her? This bitch moved here on her own ,no one dragged her here,she made the choice to live here;and has been nothing but trouble since and a burden to the tax payers of N.S. Fran moved to this country from the USA after she probably got kicked out of Germany where she was an Ass. Prof.I guess she couldn't get her PHD for whatever reason.I suspect it was her attitude.

Fran refused to live by the law of the land since the first day she moved here, by allowing her mutt to run and attack other dogs until AC had enough and was forced to seize her mutt;She tied up the court system for 2 years,at tax payers expense,only to get her dog back under strict conditions,ie. muzzle,lead. Well after just 2 short months Ms SFB allowed her mutt to attack another dog,which was being walked on a public highway,and on a lead. This attack caused injuries to the other dog. Well AC was forced to seize Fran's dog again of course Fran tried to hide refused to answer the door,forcing the police and AC to use force to enter her shack and remove her mutt Brindi.
Now Brindi is again back in the pound at tax payers expense for over a year and will probably be put down in a couple months.

Now than there is her shack,which was declared unsafe by the building inspector,ie no water,sewer system not working,on stilts,roof leaking etc. HRM was forced to secure the shack with a fence board up the windows and generally secure the shack. Prior to that Fran had to be removed from the shack by the police and was forced to live in a unsafe motor home last winter....oh.....she did bunk in with some ex friends for a bit until they had enough of her BS ie stealing,damage to property and just being a pig.

Well this summer Fran got a foundation under her shack and was allowed to move back in however she now has the issue of several liens on the shack,i suspect to the tune of 30,000$ and I understand there is more coming as she refuses to pay her bills which will add another 30,000$ on for a grand total of 60,000$; how many ways can you spell leach? The day will come where the shack will be seized,however since its only worth 25,000$ we as tax payers will lose again to say nothing of contractors and her un paid lawyer.We all lose!!!

Ms SFB is now a member of the occupy movement,one would think she would be spending time working on a defense for court in 2 weeks,and looking for a way to pay her bills.

Its about time all residents of NS contacted the IRS,Rev. Canada,Immigration,and anyone else they can think of to have her removed from Canada ASAP, I will be calling NSPC,and all the above to state my consurns as a tax payer.

Slander or???????

Well I see that Ms SFB has stepped it up with the following posted on her twitter and FB group, I see that she is blaming everyone but herself for the mess that she is now in,if she keeps it up she could very well find herself in more hot water....as she should.

"""#Halifax employees who harmed/harm me, cont'd:

Lori Scolaro, supervisor, animal control, who, eager to try out A300, targeted Brindi with a muzzle order after a minor uncharged incident, among other many sadistic and cruel things; enjoyed seeing me upset when Brindi was ill at the pound. Enjoyed monitoring 30 minute weekly visits under ironclad rules she made up for me along with Sean Kelly of the SPCA: Told the prosecutor to tell the court that HRM seized and killed 37 dogs in three years without court involvement as a favor to owners who didn't know what to do with them! Reportedly also likes to have stray dogs put down when their owners can't cough up $160 cash on the spot.

Andrea Macdonald, manager, animal control and tax and limousine licenses (don't ask...) who supported all of it, denied me due process and visits, and refused to return Brindi after HRM lost in the supreme court jan. 2009. Among other things.

Tim Hamm, former animal control officer who seized Brindi after changing his fine to a muzzle order and targeting her, after a non-injury incident July 2008. Now the Animal Control officer in Hants county.

Two unknown men, one in the mayor's office, one in the police chief's office, who Hamm claims are buddies with Macdonald and Scolaro, and who, according to Hamm, backed their plan to kill Brindi with a carefully orchestrated series of malicious acts, personally engineered - doubtless all the way to the present moment.

Valerie Rodgers, rookie AC officer, who trespassed on my property to get my license plate, lied to me about her intention to seize, and took Brindi away after breaking into my home Sept. 27, 2010.

Kishan Persaud, Legal Services. Too much to tell here; lost in Supreme Court, after doing all he good to delay the case; continued to torture me for a year or more; not a very honorable person, suffice it to say.
And his veteran colleagues and supervisor, who I will name later.
One of them is:
Kathryn Salsman, rookie Prosecutor who pretends the decision to kill Brindi (a third time) is hers, and turned down all offers to foster, rehome, or remove her from the country.

Another is Angela Jones-Rieksts, very good at making up legal rationales out of thin air, who claimed the eviction had nothing at all to do with Brindi and promised HRM was not going to try to tear down my house. Lies. Nice for a young mother, eh?

Michael Morgan, building inspector, who issued an order to vacate without a prior order to remedy, the day I went to court to seek an injunction to release Brindi (after over 2 years of construction underway, without any issues about occupation, there is no possibility of a coincidence); he then obscured his way into a demolition order. NOt a great inspector - thinks wood is no good after 4 weeks. Went on vacation to Italy right after that. Hope he enjoyed himself.

Jeff Rogers, by-law officer, promoted last summer, after participating in evicting me Nov. 19, 2010, then denying me the chance to appeal the eviction through Jan. 2011.

Scott Hill, by-law officer, promoted to Jeff Rogers' position after participating in evicting and harassing me from Nov. 2010 to Aug. 2011, including pushing through an unfounded, illegal demolition order before a committee of befuddled to hateful HRM councilors.

Tanya Phillips, director of By-law Services, who admitted to saying whatever she was told without any proof at the time they evicted me; and later took on a dastardly role in trying to demolish my house - so I dropped any sympathy I might have had for her

Mayor Kelly, who offered initially in 2008 to help get Brindi out - but was told by his "staff" not to intervene, and obeyed accordingly. Since then has refused to hear any pleas to release Brindi, including from his own immediate family and an MP.

Councilor Brad Johns, who renegs on promises, claims he doesn't know the appeal procedure, and abdicates his statutory duty to non-elected staff

Councilor Dawn Sloane, who among other things, claims it is a violation of law not to finish a building by an arbitrary deadline (HRM's). Sad and dangerous woman.

Councilor David Hendsbee. Too much to say. Co-responsible for A300 (remember the cats??) but didn’t know it fails to distinguish attacks on dogs from attacks on humans! Could have helped me get Brindi back right away (met her, liked her, before);, messed up things to the point of causing me to lose my house insurance by giving misinformation to the newspaper.

Assorted councilors who passed By-Law A300 and refused to amend it even after a judge found it lacking in procedural fairness and due process; spread misinformation about my dog and incidents that happened, and about the law, to the public at large, and/or ignored thousands of pleas to release her - including from 10 animal welfare groups, PETA, and people on 6 continents.

Various HRM staff who barricade themselves inside city hall and declare random zones off-limits to civilians - including the space in front of an overhead projector.

There's probably more, but I guess that's enough for twitter!""""

Now did RR write this or?

From: Robert Riley

Subject: To David Hendsbee
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2011 09:20:50 -0300

... Dear David Hendsbee,

I am writing to strongly protest the treatment of Francesca Rogier at the hands of HRM staff. I have been watching every move since the day they took Brindi in 2008, and again in 2010. I have been very angry and so have a lot of people in HRM. To see that they kicked her out, lied to your committee about her house, and tried to tear it down, disregarded even the Heritage Law, was against all decency.

The situation is very urgent – once again! Sure, they did not demolish her house because she made sure there was a concrete foundation. But now they are trying to take it away again. They put a huge lien on her property in July, claiming it as the cost of the fence they put up last November. She had already put up a fence and the inspector who had ordered it passed it. Then By-Law, who had nothing to do with the inspector’s order, came to evict her and told her one big reason was because her fence was no good. But it was passed by the inspector, and by-law never even ordered her to do it. So the whole thing was bogus! But now, they come back and say the fence cost over $8,000, which seems like a lot to me for flimsy metal mesh, and they say the boards they put up later, cost another $2,000, and put a $10,000 lien on her house!

But they went even farther and added that amount to her tax bill, and have the nerve to charge 15% interest on it!! I never heard of such a thing! How can a lien be put into your tax bill and charged so much interest? This can’t be right. This is nothing but extortion, definitely not fair!! Each month will add to her burden. Thanks to their handling of Brindi’s case, she cannot afford to get entire project done this year. Already she has spent down what was left of her savings and she is told it will take a year for immigration to give her a work permit to get a job.

This is your responsibility and you must put a stop to it before it is too late. You owe her some real help, I think. She always had a valid construction permit, unlike many people in her district, as I think you well know. Francesca cannot afford to hire any lawyers and they have not helped her in the past as you also know. All her property taxes are paid up. But you do not help now, David Hendsbee, Francesca will lose her home. 12 months from the lien date - by next July - HRM will be able to take her property away permanently and sell it at a tax auction. Very clearly the goal has always been to stop at nothing – to kill her dog and ruin her life completely. Well, congratulations for picking on a vulnerable woman!

I am ashamed that my city of Halifax has treated her so badly, a person with education and ability who chose to settle here and only wanted to work and fix up an old house. She did a good design and worked out every detail to a T. She worked hard to get a foundation poured and had a hard time because she was ripped off by contractors who took advantage of the unreasonable deadline of the demolition order.

I don’t see how you can sit by and let this crime be done to her. If you do, I promise it will never be forgotten. It turns out Brindi has not been well in the pound, and that is bad enough. Don’t let them take her house away! Please respond to this letter within 48 hours and tell me what steps you are taking to help Francesca Rogier.

Well since RR couldn't even write a short grocery list,I would suspect that Ms. SFB wrote it for him;we all know how reliable and truthful Robert is just by his call to HRM call center the tape can be found on this blog,once one hears it one can easily determine that he was pissed when he called. In fact Ms. SFB herself said RR was nothing but a drunk,and couldn't be trusted,what a pair of fucked up bed fellows....LMAO

Well I have to go make a few phone calls to a couple of motor cycle gangs,as they are interested in the, "occupy 782 E Chezz road", to be held 22 October 2011 starting at 10 AM,at present we have over 100 people that will be there,to occupy the shoulder of the road in front of house # 782 E Chezz; many coming want to see the spot where Brindi almost killed a couple of small dogs.I have obtained a couple of bull horns for the speakers at the event,The place will rock,with lots of music and noise; should rattle a few windows.

Occupy 782 East Chezzetcook road!

Well the time has come,Fran or SFB as I like to call her,has been a leach of Canada and Nova Scotia for much to long. Her dog about to be put down,her shack about to be seized...I am sure there is a long list of creditors. However the Bitch is now interested in occuping the world....LMAO. Well what is good for the goose is good good the gander. Therefore I would love to occupy the above residence this month,or before November the 8th....so lets rock......and occupy....me friends all know my e-mail so please advise what date is good for you,I will make signs and provide a free lunch......... Cheers............

Fran has done more to set back animal welfare than anyone I know.

Well I admit the header is a bold statement;however I have my reasons for the statement.
Fran Rogier claims to have rescued a mutt,(BRINDI) from a shelter ,(and I use the term shelter quite loosely). Fran claims that Brindi was in good health,(could be true) but who knows? After Fran rescued Brindi it went down hill from there,dog not Lic.,dog running at large,dog attacking other dogs at least 4 times and God knows what else that never was reported.
The final result that time Brindi was seized,and ordered to be put down,well Shit For Brains,desided to hire a lawyer and fight it.She claims to have paid a piss pot full of money to the lawyer,well at least half of the lawyers bill,the lawyer was forced to sue for the other half,and now has a lien on her shack. At a later date,Fran Rogier was charged with 3 counts under HRM by laws consurning her beloved Brindi.
Rogier was found guilty on all 3 counts,and Brindi was to be returned to SFB,under strict conditions,the main one was to be muzzled while off SFB's property;well after 2 months there was a "terrible accident",(Fran's words) and Brindi attacked a small dog on a leash,on a public highway,being walked by a pregnant lady,and her husband. Why did Brindi attack? you ask,because SFB Failed to have a muzzle on as ordered by the court.Oh yes Brindi escaped because SFB couldn't operate power windows.....Now that is one lame excuse,yep I know hard to believe but read the tapes in this blog and see for yourself. Than SFB filed a false complaint with the Police and got caught with her pants down as the call was taped,tape on this blog as well.
Well since SFB broke the court order, it left the police and By law no choice than to seize Brindi again, oh yes SFB's tried to hide in her shack,refused to answer the door until enough was enough and the police forced their way in to her shack. Brindi was seized,and placed in a pound,where she has now been over a year while SFB,twitters away,yaps on facebook and just wastes internet space with her BS.

Now brindi is in jail,so to speak,however instead of trying to do right by brindi,SFB's is trying to ,(no not trying but is) making a bigger arse of herself,by trying to shut our tourist industry down,tearing a strip off the mayor whenever she wants,saying our,(CANADIAN) legal system sucks,that animal welfare groups in Canada are doing a piss poor job,in fact tearing a strip off our legal system and Gov. whenever the mood strikes her; all this from a guest of Canada.

Now SFB's has turned so many people off that could and would help her,that she has lost at least 90% of the support that she has in NS and Canada,oh but wait she has a lot of support from the middle east,south africa,the south pole and 4 corners of the world, a fat lot of good that will do her except to boost her paypal account..SHE A LEACH, BOTTOM FEEDER!

Bottom line its all about Fran Rogier,AKA SFB"s,she loves the lime light,and could care less about Brindi,oh BTY Vet visit today cost 200 bucks....Send me the money!!
Maybe Miss Priss in South Africa will send it to her. Personally I would love to drive SFB's to the USA border and give her 200 sift kicks in her fat ass.

I will add much more as time allows,just to get the truth out there.

More lies by Fran Rogier!!!!!

I won't comment on this piece of crap Fran posted on twitter,one can read it for themselves and see for themselves that fran is one sick puppy!

Humane Halifax

.@news957 Did you know the public record clearly shows #Halifax targeted #Brindi AHEAD of that harmless incident in July 08? How? By gratuitously issuing a muzzle order and using it as a death warrant! The details: Animal Services bosses Andrea Macdonald & Lori Scolaro ordered AC officer Tim Hamm to issue the muzzle in May, following a minor incident between Brindi and a neighbor’s dog. Hamm initially told @brindismom he “might” lay a fine. To her shock and dismay, he returned with the muzzle order only, saying his bosses forced the change. He did not tell her that the other dog owner had triggered this by asking him not to fine her. @brindismom had volunteered to cover vet costs for Bernie Jo Villieux, who would likely not have bothered otherwise. Learning of the $220 fine, Villieux worried that Rogier couldn't afford it and the vet bill she wanted Rogier to pay, which thanks to a few extras, now came to $143. So, without telling Rogier, she sent Hamm her request, whereupon Scolaro instructed him to “offer” her the muzzle instead, with the added note that it meant he could “take” (seize and kill) Brindi next time she was reported, regardless of reason. He then told Rogier Brindi could be killed even if she was seen unmuzzled in public. After he seized Brindi, Hamm and Animal Services went on to mislead the public with such gross misstatements of fact. Nowhere does By-Law A300 lay down any condition for mandatory euthanasia, and all fines are optional, even in the event of non-compliance with a muzzle order. The July 20 2008 incident in question in which Brindi’s muzzle slipped off was short-lived and involved no injuries at all, severe or minor. Yet Macdonald and Scolaro refused to release Brindi their death warrant, despite numerous efforts by dog trainers, caregivers, vets, and neighbors. And because Hamm issued no fine, @brindismom had no chance to appear before a judge on the charges, where she could ask him to free her dog: i.e., no due process – a clear violation of fundamental rights according to the supreme court of Nova Scotia. The whole thing smacks of conspiracy. It has led to chronic disease and years of confinement and isolation for an innocent dog, and untold heartache, financial ruin, and loss of reputation for @brindismom.Macdonald and Scolaro fired Hamm in 2010 after he publicly distanced himself from the case. We think these dirty sadists should now be FIRED! They were perfectly aware Brindi had not inflicted injury in July 2008 or in the first reported incident the previous September. They illegally locked her up for two years without any contact to other dogs until a judge forced them to release her. They shamelessly seized Brindi again for a minor incident and locked her up for a third year! What do you think?

Frannie not begging for money?....THINK AGAIN

This can be found on Fran's FB group, Its time the truth was spoken and all her puppets were advised:

Francesca Rogier created a doc.
Group Description: PLEASE READ
BRINDI MUST NOT DIE AND MUST NOT BE LOCKED UP ANY LONGER ON DEATH ROW!

The city of Halifax has taken extreme retaliative action against Francesca for her success in saving her dog. After locking her up for two years illegally, it seized Brindi again on Sept. 27. This followed a minor incident in her driveway with neighbors related to those who first reported her - and also happen to work f...or the city. They were determined to see Brindi killed. Yet they both admit to kicking her repeatedly (both at once!) and Brindi did not try to retaliate in any way.
How can you kill a dog who will not attack when it is being harmed by strangers??
The incident was clearly an accident, but the city has a vendetta. Having lost twice to Francesca, it is now hoping to convince a court that she did not obey court conditions. They even used illegally obtained recordings to obtain the seizure warrant. And when Francesca tried to get an injunction for Brindi's release, they did all they could to obstruct it. They had her immigration status investigated, and sent building officials after her, who issued contradictory orders to secure her home - a home renovation postponed because of Brindi's prior ordeal. Then, they evicted her anyway, falsely claiming it was unsafe, and denying her the right to appeal the eviction.
Brindi has never bitten a human; she has caused very little harm to other dogs (minor cuts on 2 occasions). Yet she is being treated very unfairly, and so is her owner, Francesca Rogier. Francesca emigrated to Nova Scotia in 2006 with a simple dream of fixing up an old house and keeping a dog and two cats as family. She was ripped off by a fraudulent contractor who went bankrupt and left her home high and dry. She battled for two years to save her dog.
Her success was short-lived, tragically, as unkind neighbors directly related to the same family who first reported Brindi for a harmless scuffle. They eagerly cooperated with the animal control manager who signed the death order in 2008 after setting her up with an unfairly imposed muzzle order.
Francesca is in dire straits now, because after she met the demands of building officials, doing exactly as an engineer required, they evicted her anyway. She was given minutes to pack some belongings and forced to leave her cat behind. She returned the next night to find that Amelia was trapped in the house and the water heater was broken. It was fully functioning the day before and HRM employees admit suspiciously that they "saw" it was detached from the pipe. As she used the hot water minutes before leaving, this can only mean they did the deed. Hurricanes and winds did not do this in two years!!
HRM has lied in public about her heat and water lacking, and about her house being unsafe. Yet they are unable to lie to her about it as a reason for eviction. Instead, they are autocratically demanding she complete all construction before she can move back in. This is unheard of anywhere in North America! As is the attempt to kill a dog that has never killed or seriously harmed an animal, let alone ONCE bit or threatened a human!!!
HRM (Halifax) have tied her hands so she cannot save herself or her dog: having forced her to spend thousands on the added work in October, they evicted her without notice in November. They also chased off reputable contractors by lying to the press, and are now demanding she submit to their control. She must submit a work schedule that she cannot possibly guarantee with winter weather setting in. Their plan is to move to the next step of claiming she is not serious about finishing and will likely revoke her construction permit very soon. This is a house she loves dearly and planned her new life there with Brindi. She designed a beautiful new garage and basement as a foundation. She lost half of her budget to legal costs yet still wants to make it happen.
Francesca has a right to her dream just as she has a right to be with her dog. Brindi has a right to live in a loving home.
There is no reason on earth for such unacceptable and brutal treatment of a lone female immigrant who worked hard to become a professional and a teacher, and worked hard to train her dog well - Brindi did not bite these peop[le even when they kicked her in the head!!! The only "reason" is that these local civil servants have a chip on their shoulder and want to punish Francesca for standing up for her rights so that she could protect her dog.
They are accustomed to misusing the law to get what they want. That is how they took Brindi for two years and did it again, and that is how they evicted Francesca and are now making it impossible to finish the house, and that will be how they take the house away from her entirely.
THESE ARE UNETHICAL CIVIL SERVANTS with DIRECT CONNECTIONS TO ANIMAL SERVICES DIRECTORS
all from a small clique down at city hall, according to reliable information - people behind the scenes who get their way.
THIS GROUP IS HER ONLY LIFELINE RIGHT NOW!
Francesca is cut off from family and friends and has limited resources, nowhere to live, and a mountain of problems to tackle.
She is not allowed to see Brindi, yet again. And she has been taken to the cleaners one time too many by lawyers.
PLEASE HELP US CARVE OUT A NEW PATH TO FREEDOM FOR BRINDI AND FRANCESCA!!
WE NEED NEW IDEAS AND PEOPLE WILLING TO IMPLEMENT THEM!
CORRUPTION AND ABUSE MUST BE RESISTED WHEREVER THEY RAISE THEIR UGLY HEADS, ESPECIALLY WHERE INNOCENT LIFE AND LIBERTY IS CONCERNED!!
Francesca's liberty is at risk now as well, as she cannot leave the province for fear of Brindi being killed AND her house being taken by the city, who plan to revoke her permit, install some sort of foundation and THEN put a lien on it, until she pays an exorbitant price to get it back!
THEFT, HARASSMENT, PERSECUTION, AND VIOLENCE =- all for the sake of the petty pride of a few lowly municipal public servants!!
THE QUESTION REMAINS: IF WE CANNOT SAVE A DOG, WHAT GOOD ARE WE AS HUMAN BEINGS?
iF WE CANNOT SAVE A WOMAN WHO SAVED HER DOG, WHICH OF US IS NEXT??

DESCRIPTION
****************************** ********************
Our goal is to save the life of a rescue dog, a mutt named Brindi. We want to see her returned to her rightful owner and beloved human companion, Francesca Rogier.
Brindi has been locked up on death row for TWO YEARS. YET:
She never attacked or threatened a person.
She never killed or caused serious injury to a dog.
Her owner has been denied due process, even to this day.
She is a good-natured mutt, six years old, rescued from a shelter in 2007. A few run-ins with other dogs were reported, but apparently never serious enough to lead to charges. On July 24, 2008, a few days after a minor encounter, animal control officers armed with a warrant and a euthanization order seized Brindi from her home without notice. Since then she’s been on death row at a city pound. Because it is run by the SPCA, Francesca could not even gain their assistance.
Our pets mean the world to us, and vice versa. Their only legal protection is through our rights. But in Halifax, it seems even owners' rights are in peril, as there is no appeal process in place. This forced Francesca, Brindi's owner, to file a lawsuit to keep her alive; she then succeeded in quashing an unfair by-law, voiding the euthanization order. But Halifax kept Brindi locked up. In retaliation, it charged Francesca with three by-law violations in a bid to get a judge to issue a new euthanization order. These charges stem from a six-month old incident and were the first ever laid. The trial has been scheduled for October 13.
Meanwhile, the city's legal basis for holding Brindi is doubtful without a valid order in place. No new warrant was issued.
Brindi was evaluated as "not dangerous" and highly trainable. During eight weeks of obedience class, which she passed with ease, she had no issues with other dogs. Trainers say her errant behavior might relate to her early days on a reserve, where dogs run in packs and guard their territory. They say it can be corrected with training. This is exactly what Francesca wants. She is willing to meet other conditions as well, if only the city return her dog - alive!
Recently, Brindi needed biopsy surgery and may have cancer because the SPCA vet found a lump near her spine. Her teeth are in bad shape as well, and it is incomprehensible that the shelter won't give her her favorite "chew", raw beef bones, that her owner and friends bring her regularly.
Please donate if you can to help with the huge legal bills! And stay tuned for requests for letters and calls!!!

Keeping a dog in a pound indefinitely is detrimental to its health. Killing a dog that is not dangerous goes against the principle of protection of animal welfare. Yet the SPCA is participating in this abuse. It is willing to kill this dog, while earning money for it (no less than $414,000 a year, at present). Having kept silent for six months, ignoring her owner's pleas for help, last January the Nova Scotia SPCA began repeatedly asking the city to "re-home" Brindi. Not only is this something the city cannot legally do (without a judge's order); it would be a wrong and cruel thing to do to an owner who has sacrificed so much for the sake of her beloved pet - and it would be cruel to a dog that was neglected for years and has never known any other home.
Brindi has already spent half her life behind bars. She may lose her life altogether unless somebody does something to let Brindi go home where she belongs!!!
HALIFAX DOG OWNERS: SPEAK UP FOR FRANCESCA AND BRINDI! OTHERWISE, YOUR DOG COULD BE NEXT!!
The fact is, if the city “wins”, EVERYBODY loses: an innocent dog will die, and a very dangerous precedent is set.
