ONTARIO PITBULLS NEED URGENT HELP IMMEDIATELY!

This is a plea to Ontario Pitbull owners that don't fully understand bill 132. You do NOT have to give up your dog, unless you happen to live in the couple of cities that has enforced a complete pit bull ban, such as Windsor and Kitchener have.
For one, the bill is still not law until it receives Royal Assent, but because of the 'grandfathering clause', a current owner is allowed to KEEP their pet. You must get them fixed as soon as possible and although you still are not required to muzzle them in public yet, it would be a good idea to get a muzzle to slowly teach them to accept them. Too many people are not understanding this and dropping them off at shelters. The shelters are now full and they are not able to find enough homes to keep up with them and needless pets are already getting put down. The Bill has passed, put not expected to become Law until April 1st. Hope ironic is that, that it falls on April Fool's day? But, please don't hold off until that date. You never know if it could be sooner.
I have scoured the net trying to find out if there are any 'pitbull rescue groups or organizations' in the London, Ontario and area region. If anyone knows of any, please send me a private message through my guestbook with your email address (nobody will be able to see it except me) and I will contact you. Any that were on the net in Ontario are gone, so I'm assuming they have exceeded their limit and help is desperately needed. Also, any other cities and area's in Ontario that you are aware of. The pitties need our help immediately!
I have spoken to people and there is great confusion amongst them. Please go to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and click on Media Release for March 2, 2005 to get all the details. If you know of owners, or friends of owners without computer access, please pass this information on to them.
