Before people from other places complain about the treatment of animals in our shelters, best check their own backyard.

Every Dog Should Matter to a dog lover, NOT just your own.
I was going back doing a little reading and I began to wonder..Why is it that Fran can put so much importance on her dog and her health and well-being, and so little importance on the other dogs in her community? She keeps stressing that no dogs were hurt in the attacks by Brindi, even the ones she knows went to a vet. The ones that she claims left her area immediately after an attack (and she had no chance to see the wounds) she claims they were fine with no wounds. Not sure how she can possibly know that.

LETS TALK ABOUT STALKING AND OR THREATS:
A certain dog owner,keeps ranting how she is being threatened,and quite proudly sort of brags about it in her blog,now its my turn.
Several authors of this blog have been threatened myself included,that is fine and we can deal with it and trust me we will;however since threatening us has had no effect the focus has turned on to our family members;to the extent a police investigation has started. At this point I want to make it clear that I am pointing the finger at no one in particular,however having said that it all stems back to the untruths told by a certain dog owner. Its also my understanding that several commplaints have been made to the Police about some of "us" about the stalking. Well anyone with a half a clue can turn on the computer and do a google search on any subject and get all the information available since it now is public knowledge. ITS NOT AN OFFENCE TO QUOTE OR QUESTION ANY TOPIC ON THE INTERNET. The person filing the complaints has been advised of that.
I fully realize that a few mis informed people are a bit upset with HRM and the SPCA and agree that there is a lot of misinformation out there,which is the main reason of this blog ;to speak the truth. In earlier topics and comments you can read the truth so at this point I will not repeat it.
The best we all can do now is hope that this particular dog is re homed and that the owner moves on with her life, because if the stalking of our family members continues by un named persons the shit will hit the fan in more ways than enough. Now you can attack me all you want and I shall reply with facts I can state lots of facts now however its all over the internet and as I said just do a google search and come to your own conclusion.
Cheers

Fran hit the radio
Fran hit the radio today with her " own" talk show ( I hope just for today ). It was bacially a rant, mostly lies and with a phone call ( skype I guess) with the oh so moral law biding citizen of South Africa. Anyone with any real knowledge of what happened will really get a charge as to how the story of the facts are once again changed.

NASTY PEOPLE,HIDE BEHIND THEIR COMPUTERS
Well I see that Fran on her Blog has posted what she thinks is threats,well I have read them all and I would have to disagree with her. Someone may or may not have reported her to NSPC for unsafe electrical hookup. Is that a threat I think not. However the one thing she probably doesn't realize is the person who reads her meter is required to report unsafe conditions. Therefore she can go blow smoke elsewhere.
Now the following was sent to me in my inbox,do I consider it a threat,Hell no. However I do consider the writer a bit more than unstable.
""""""MegaMinimouse has posted a comment on your profile:
What a pathetic excuse for a human being you are. The world would be a more pleasant place without mean spirited people like yourself - I hope you rot in hell for your nasty nature."""""""
Now guess what???? I did a profile search and it took me right to a picture of Fran herself. I will allow you all to come to your own conclusions.

Um, what were they saying about "irresponsible"?
Today, a man was attacked by a dog in the pound so severely that he had to be hospitalized.

Man bitten at Metro SPCA
Pest control technician treated at hospital after attack
By PATRICIA BROOKS ARENBURG Staff Reporter
A man was taken to hospital after he was bitten by a dog at the Metro SPCA shelter.
Police and paramedics were called to the animal shelter at 5 Scarfe Ct. in Dartmouth at about 11:40 a.m. Monday after a reported dog bite.
The shelter is closed to the public on Mondays, but staff and volunteers are there to care for the animals.
"We had a technician come in, a pest control technician," said Kristin Williams, executive director of the Nova Scotia SPCA.
"Unfortunately, he entered a back area without an escort and he encountered one of our dogs and was bitten in the hand and taken to hospital."
Krista Beck, a spokeswoman for Emergency Health Services, said later Monday that the man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax with injuries to his hand and possibly his leg. The injuries were not life-threatening, Beck said.
Halifax Regional Police were called to the shelter because it was believed the dog was not secure, which turned out to be untrue, said spokesman Const. Brian Palmeter.
At the time of the attack, the female mixed-breed dog "was getting some R&R social time (outside of its kennel), but it was still a restricted area," Williams said.
The dog, described as a young adult canine, has been at the shelter since August, when it was seized by order of Halifax Regional Municipality, Williams said. It was not part of any cruelty investigation, she said.
She didn’t know whether the dog had bitten anyone prior to arriving at the shelter last summer but said it hadn’t bitten anyone at the shelter before this.
"This was an isolated incident and we obviously feel very sorry for the individual and hope that he has a quick recovery," Williams said.
The Metro SPCA, which had the municipal animal control contract, has a handful of dogs at the shelter that are awaiting proceedings to determine their fate, including Brindi, a dog that has been the subject of court proceedings and in the headlines for some time.
Williams said Brindi was not the dog involved in Monday’s incident.
Although the shelter has asked the municipality to allow the dogs to have "socializing time outside of the shelter, such as walks outside of the shelter, we’ve been told we’re not permitted to do that," Williams said.
"It’s a very difficult situation for us."
The dog involved in Monday’s incident is "back in quarantine . . . but we haven’t received further direction from HRM other than to return her to kennel, which we’ve done," Williams said.
The municipality’s animal services division is investigating.

We don't want to seem overly critical, but we have to ask: who's irresponsible now, Kristin Williams? HRM? Whether or not it's an "isolated incident" matters little to the man, and even less under the law. The fact is that it happened, and there was no "due diligence". If they were ever charged, this attack would likely earn the SPCA staff a guilty conviction in provincial court (and a euthanization order for the dog).
The SPCA runs the HRM pound within the confines of the Metro Shelter, a modestly sized building. We have been led to believe the pound is kept separate from the rest of the shelter. So it's hard to understand how a dog could be walking around loose, especially when they know the place is going to be sprayed for bugs? And why wasn't anybody accompanying the man, or at least watching the dog?
However, if the dog is loose, we can easily understand how such an attack could happen. The SPCA pretty much admits these dogs are not given enough exercise, though they blame that on HRM. So the dog is bound to be a bit wired up, and react to a strange man approaching - possibly with some equipment, or a mask, or whatever. But this should not have happened. And somebody was indeed irresponsible.
Meanwhile, if what is said about Brindi is true, we are thrilled to note that in a year and a half of her illegal incarceration, Brindi has never bitten anybody, staff or stranger, at the pound. They say she is allowed to walk around too and obeys all the obedience commands her owner taught her. It's possible she was even loose at the time of this other attack, who knows? Such a dangerous dog!
Still, the SPCA says her owner is too irresponsible to have her back. The newspaper talks about the plan to find Brindi a "suitable home". We think they all ought to sit down and give that position a little more thought. The rest of us can draw our own conclusions.
However, for the sake of Brindi's health, and the health of all of the animals there, what about the pest control being done? Exactly what kind of poisonous chemicals are these dogs being exposed to?? And what kinds of pests have infested the building?

WHAT DO YA"LL THINK OF THIS???
Copied to us from a friend in Humane Halifax...

Subject: Personal bias should not be part of Herald's news coverage of Brindi
March 13, 2010
To the HRM council, the Chronicle-Herald, and the local media of Halifax:
We have learned that community writer Pat Lee of the Chronicle-Herald (March 10, "Advocates Offer Option for Brindi" ), is personally connected to the "advocates" in question. This group includes members of the SPCA, and though it is a matter before the courts, it has been relentlessly campaigning for nearly a year for this dog to be "re-homed", i.e., taken away from the person who saved her from the needle in 2008.
Pat Lee's facebook friends include the following, all of whom are associated with or belong to this "advocacy" group:
Joan Sinden, blogger
Annette-Netta Armitage
Heather Morrison
Janet Chernin, who has been prosecuted by the city for running an illegal dog care facility
Kat Horne, VP of the Nova Scotia SPCA
LeeAnne Poirier Tibbo, of the dog legislation council, who has circulated false information about Francesca Rogier
Silvia Jay, trainer
among others
These people also belong to a group called ARPO that has been attacking Francesca Rogier for a long time. None of these people know Ms. Rogier personally. Last spring, ARPO published a defamatory and misleading letter about Ms. Rogier in The Coast. Mr. Bob Ottenbrite is also a member of ARPO, and is involved in litigation with Ms. Rogier. Therefore his position cannot be seen as objective. The Herald's web editor, Rick Conrad, is friendly with Joan Sinden. Sinden has been personally attacking Rogier in her blog with a series of libelous remarks. Conrad was also seen at the recent dog expo associating with Gail Gallant, who has been publicly harassing and cyberstalking Francesca Rogier for over a year.
We deplore ARPO and its associates for singling out Ms. Rogier as an "irresponsible owner". We call upon the Herald to exercise a greater amount of professional objectivity and cease giving such people a public forum in which to push their agenda without scrutiny. Has anyone asked, for instance, what ARPO is doing about the numerous owners in this city whose dogs are genuine threats to public safety?
Any 'advocation' for re-homing in this case is inappropriate. Brindi is not a dangerous dog. She should not have been seized. She should be returned as soon as possible to her own home with her loving and responsible owner, where she belongs.
Sincerely,
Humane Halifax for Better Animal Control
