Francesca scheduled a trainer from out of the area -- a very respected trainer who agreed to drive in, some three hours, to do the assessment at the SPCA. The city and the SPCA approved the assessment. The SPCA would provide two dogs to be involved in the assessment. They would never be in any danger. However, at the last minute, the SPCA changed the rules -- they would not allow their dogs to be used in the assessment for liability reasons. AT THE LAST MINUTE! A week ago, one of the dogs that has been impounded since August 2009 at the SPCA bit an outside worker who was at the pound to spray for bugs. (Are the dogs NOT removed from the area prior to spraying????) Perhaps this is where the issue of liability came from. It certainly shows a certain sloppiness on the part of the SPCA that they cannot/do not have their own animals under control at all times. Should we call Animal Services and report this incident? I think it is a perfect example that "accidents happen" to ALL of us. So why is it okay for the SPCA to have an accident, but not the citizens of the city? A new assessment is pending.

Granted, Brindi's behaviour was less than 100 percent friendly, but I see that most of that is on the part of the owner. If she followed through with the muzzle, and whatever else yes all this may of been avoided. But still, the actions are still actions that deserve a fine, not death. The owner looks like has taken all the moves now needed to control and or train Brindi. She has a fine and restatution that she should be and is responsable for, but the dog she not pay for the sins of thy mother. In both countries we see so much violence, hate crimes, murder, animal crulty cases ect...and deals are made all the time to save money and court time, i just see that someone has mud on their face and has taken this to a personal level, shame on you. any animal agency would love to find an owner for a dog or 2 that would put just a quarter of the energy and love and time into their dog, please everyone deserves a chance spare brindi, please.

I also think that there should be some way that the owner get reimbursed by the city of Halifax for the expenses that she has incurred! This is HORIBBLE, HORIBBLE INJUSTICE!!! People across the world are looking at Halifax as a bunch of clowns that have no idea what they are doing. This is a very sweet dog that got caught up in a situation, where people who have no business running a government, are in a position of control. Halifax is the laughing stock of the world right now. How can this possibly be happening!!! RELEASE BRINDI and the world will forgive. Kill Brindi and you will certainly regret it. These are archaic, senseless laws that have to be changed. Open your eye and do what is right. RELEASE BRINDI and make a public apology for spending time and money on a very Stupid case. Cheryl Blanco USA This poor dog should be released immediately!!!
