The CKC announced yesterday that an additional $8,000 contribution would be made to the Banned Aid Coalition, in support of this current challenge.
Response to the “Dollars for Dogs” fundraising drive has exceeded the $67,000 goal to cover the outstanding fees and before close of business January 31, Banned Aid will file for the Leave of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
"DOLLARS FOR DOGS" – 10 days to go
From the CKC Website:
RAISED $61,715 SO FAR…WITH…$5,285 TO GO…10 DAYS LEFT!
11th-hour contributions show Canada-wide, dog-owner support as the Banned Aid Coalition seeks to raise immediate funds to pay outstanding legal fees and secure their day with the SUPREME COURT of Canada. The constitutional challenge of Ontario Bill 132, the “pit bull” ban, has not ended yet and is beginning to take its toll on the dedicated individuals so deeply involved.
Before close of business January 31, they must secure $67,000 or…it’s over and the door for breed specific legislation in this country will have been forever opened.
“It would be a travesty,” said Banned Aid Treasurer, Cathy Prothro “that after going so far with so much work from so many people, we couldn’t raise the money to secure our next steps to the Supreme Court of Canada.”
Having raised and paid $650,000 to date, Banned Aid, through the “Dollars for Dogs” campaign, looks to all dog owners as their front-line contributors and now as their last hope for rescue.
“Dollars for Dogs” encourages each and every dog owner to simply contribute $1.00…just one dollar for every dog you own. “Dollars for Dogs” hit the cyber world Saturday, January 11 as a last resort effort and it might just pay off.
The concept has taken flight and as of this post time, $61,715 has been contributed, with 10 days to go! Daily updates and contribution totals will be posted right here on the CKC website so you can see your efforts grow until the $67,000 goal has been reached or…time has run out.

Is Your Dog Worth A Dollar?
The constitutional challenge to represent the collective, national interest of responsible dog owners, is in dire straits.
We are $67,000 short of being able to get our voices heard in Canada’s highest court, the Supreme Court. We have been granted an extension to come up with this amount,but just till the end of January 2009.
BIG BROTHER, DAVID AND GOLIATH
On-SCARIO ( AKA Ontario Canada ) has flagrantly wasted tax payers dollars to act as Goliath against our David ( Banned Aid Coalition ) to ban any “substantially similar” dogs to the banned purebred dogs, American Stafforshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers.
Over 4000 dogs dead!! YES even puppies folks!
NOW WHO IS THE BULLY?
In essence, the Ontario government has taken over our Pedigree Act and has decided what breeds and mixes thereof will live, drive through or visit within its boundaries.
It simply doesn’t matter whether you like the bully dogs. It is now a matter of sending a message to government we are no longer willing to allow politicians to sacrifice the lives of innocent dogs.
