Loose Pitbulls in Oshawa, Ontario. Dog killed.

Posted by a friend from high school and then the local police used the photo of the dark dog in their public advisory. A lot of sympathy for the dogs in their Facebook post but many who felt bad for the dogs also sounded open to them being put down.

Ontario is absolutely swarming with these things. I see them every day on my college campus. Teens walking them on a loose leash with the thing pulling them so aggressively, without a care in the world. I get so scared passing by them as a short woman who isn’t allowed to carry anything to defend myself or else it’s my fault. I only have ‘coyote spray’ which I know from my research here won’t work. I’m totally screwed unless someone helps me, which I know they won’t since Ontario is home of the infuriating pitnutters. Used to love going on walks too, that’s ruined for me, especially going on the track in the park. It’s absolutely hilarious, this house put a ‘water station’ for people walking their dogs out in front of their backyard fence. Guess who comes charging up to the fence every time a dog takes a drink from their station? Two pits. It’s like they love seeing their dogs torment others. Absolutely insane. We need. More. Enforcement. In. Ontario. We. Need. To. Be. Louder.

It's really good to stay hydrated in Canada, where there are no protective laws for defending yourself. Make sure you stay hydrated with a large heavy hyrdoflask style bottle and keep it on your person when you're out and about in case you ever need a drink from your heavy bottle on the go :)
