Dog who bit six people loses appeal
The appeal of a euthanasia order on a pitbull who bit six people in Montreal North last year has failed, although the collapse seems to be blamed mostly on procedural mistakes, and there’s some indication that Anne-France Goldwater may try to take the case to the Supreme Court.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I would think the efforts of a master litigator like Goldwater could be used in better causes than keeping alive an animal that has proven itself unfit for human society. But people will do what they will do.

This is idiotic. I am regularly at the Montreal SPCA, where this dog is being kept while the judicial process crawls along. The SPCA staff do all they can, but the reality is, the dog has been in its 6×6 foot kennel with little social interaction 23.5 hours / day, sedated, and clearly unhappy in a super stressful, noisy environment. He was a bouncy, happy pup when he first arrived. Now, more than a year later, he is moribund and morose. No matter where you fall on the pitbull issue, the dog is suffering because of Goldwater’s misguided glory-seeking.
