ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Issues Nationwide Update: Raisins and Grapes Can Be Toxic To Dogs
Tuesday July 6, 2004

Since April 2003, the Center handled approximately 140 cases of dogs ingesting raisins or grapes.

Media Contact: Ruth Goldstein,
(212) 876-7700 ext. 4661

(NEW YORK, NY) July 6, 2004 -- The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center continues to caution dog owners that raisins and grapes may be toxic to some dogs. From April 2003 to April 2004, the Center managed 140 cases, each involving one or more dogs that ingested varying amounts of raisins or grapes. Of these cases, over 50 animals developed clinical signs ranging from vomiting to life-threatening kidney failure, and seven dogs died.

Sarah Wright of Wisconsin lost her two year-old Australian Shepherd / Saint Bernard Mix, Penny (see picture) early this April to kidney failure after Penny ingested approximately one cup of raisins. "Penny ate the raisins and vomited later that same day," recalls Sarah. "I took her in to be evaluated by our local veterinarian, who felt that she was simply experiencing stomach upset, as the clinic was not aware of the potential for toxicity with raisin ingestions in dogs. A few days later, when Penny didn't improve, my veterinarian ran blood tests and found that Penny had developed acute renal failure, and despite efforts to save Penny, she passed away."

Sarah wanted to share her unfortunate loss with others "so that other dog owners can be educated about the toxic potential of grapes and raisins, and avoid having their dogs go through what Penny did." She would also like to urge pet owners to educate themselves about issues pertinent to their pets' health, in order to become an effective advocate for the medical care they receive.

Much is still yet to be discovered about the toxic principle associated with grape and raisin ingestions, as well as the exact mechanism leading to kidney damage in some dogs. It is also not clear if only canines are susceptible to developing a toxicosis, and additionally if only certain dogs are affected, or if chronic, long term ingestions can lead to the same effects as large, acute or single ingestions. As there are still many unknowns with the toxic potential of grapes and raisins, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center advises not giving grapes or raisins to pets in any amount.

The ASPCA will continue to monitor this situation, and will provide any additional information as it becomes available. Please call (888) 426-4435 if you have a pet that has ingested grapes or raisins, or you suspect may be experiencing problems.

Dear NCCPD Members and Supporters:

The following notice regarding an online breed banning discussion hosted by the ASPCA and the Washington Post may be of interest to you. Although the discussion is in relation to the breed banning in the United States, there are hot spots in Canada and it is only a matter of time before we may be dealing with this issue.

Are you facing the prospect of having to give up your companion animal because your state legislature or town council is considering breed-specific legislation? Has your insurance company notified you that it is canceling your homeowner's policy because your dog is a certain breed? At the ASPCA, we believe that these solutions to the so-called "dangerous dog" problem will not work. To find out more, you're invited to join Dr. Pamela Reid, vice president, ASPCA Animal Behavior Center, and Stephen L. Zawistowki, Ph.D., senior vice president, National Programs, at the Washington Post online in a moderated discussion, "Deeming Dogs Dangerous in the United States: Facts or Politics?"

Some insurance companies are already refusing to issue household policies to people with certain breeds, see attached chart which identifies some of the companies that have a blacklist and those that do not. Please note that this chart is taken from the American Kennel Club website at http://www.akc.org/love/dip/legislat/insurance_chart0702.cfm.

Insurer "Bad Breeds" Blacklist? Comments

Allstate: Yes--pit bulls, Staffordshire Terriers, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers, Chows, Presa Canarios, Akitas, wolf-hybrids, and Huskies. No new policies will be written for owners of these breeds.
AIG: Yes--pit bulls, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers.
Axa: Yes
Clarenden: Yes
Farmers Insurance Group: No--Prospective policyholders are asked to report whether they have a "vicious animal" on the premises. Once there is a claim, the pet is specifically excluded from coverage. The company also won't take new business from people who have had dog-bite claims in the last three years, even if the family no longer owns the pet.
Liberty Mutual: Yes--Akitas, Alaskan Malamutes, Chows, Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, pit bulls or Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, Siberian Huskies, Presa Canarios. Mixed-breed dogs have to be verified by a veterinarian to not be predominantly any of these breeds before policy will be issued.
Mercury Casualty Company: No--Offers 10% discount for families that don't own a dog or are willing to take their dog off their policy.
Nationwide: Yes--Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, pit bulls, Presa Canarios, Chows or wolf-hybrids.
Prudential: No--May vary from state to state.
Qualsure Insurance Corp.: Yes--Akitas, Chows, Doberman Pinschers, pit bulls, Presa Canarios and Rottweilers.
State Farm: No--If there has been a bite history, the company will ask that the offending dog be removed from the home.

Please feel free to pass this notice along to any and all who might be interested. Remember it is always better to be proactive than reactive.

Petition: Creating Better Teatment for animals...
http://www.sentientbeings.org/campaign.htm

Back to TOP of page


Volunteers Needed

Mike Colle (MPP for Egl/Law) sponsored an exemplary anti-puppy mill that came within measurable distance of passing in 2001. The bill, if enacted, would have imposed fines of up to $100,000 and $250,000 on individuals and corporations respectively for animal cruelty and instituted a licensing system for all breeders, subjecting them to a rigorous inspections.

I'm looking for volunteers to help collect signatures in his riding for a petition applauding his past efforts and urging him to try again. Armed with -- one hope -- 1000s of signatures, a constituent will then ask for a meeting to broach the issue. Because he came so close the last time, success is now well within the reach of reasonable expectation, -- Colle's party, whose members voted unanimously in favour of the bill three years ago -- now hold the reins of power.

Enactment of such a law would be a magnificent victory in the ongoing struggle against animal cruelty. If anyone is interested please email me at dummetuant@aol.com or call me at 905 763 6604.

Thanks, Joseph

The following press release was issued today by the Ministry of the Attorney General, proclaiming Bill 132 and setting the effective date as August 29, 2005.

Ministry of the Attorney General
For Immediate Release
March 31, 2005

PIT BULL BAN AND DANGEROUS DOG PROVISIONS PROCLAIMED

Effective Date Is August 29, 2005; Followed By 60-Day Transition Period

TORONTO -- Ontario's pit bull ban and other amendments to the Dog Owners Liability Act aimed at keeping communities safer from all dangerous dogs will go into effect on August 29, 2005, Attorney General Michael Bryant announced today.

"I'm proud of our legislation to ban pit bulls and make dog owners more responsible for the actions of their dogs," said Bryant. "At the same time, we're sympathetic to the needs of municipalities and dog owners, so we are providing a phase-in period for everyone to get ready for the new requirements."

There will be a 60-day transition period that follows the August 29, 2005 effective date. Owners of existing pit bulls will be required to have them spayed or neutered, leashed and muzzled while in public, and must comply with any additional requirements set by municipalities. The length of time to prepare for the new requirements was established in response to advice from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the City of Toronto and the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA).

The new legislation contains a "grandfathering clause" which allows existing pit bulls owned in Ontario before the legislation becomes effective, and pit bulls born in Ontario within 90 days of the day that the legislation becomes effective, to be considered "grandfathered" or restricted pit bulls, as long as they comply with the legislation and its regulations.

The new legislation increases fines to a maximum of $10,000 and allows for jail sentences of up to six months for individuals who own dangerous dogs that bite, attack or pose a threat. It also allows fines up to a maximum of $60,000 for corporations who own such dogs. In addition, it allows a judge to order restitution to be paid in relation to an offence. These increased fines will go to municipalities. Further information can be found at www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca.

"We are protecting Ontarians not only from these dangerous dogs, but from irresponsible owners," said Bryant. "These measures will make our communities safer for all Ontarians."

Further clarification on Bill 132

This may be useful to our members who either own a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier or American Pit Bull Terrier, a "Pit Bull" Terrier or any possible cross-breed thereof. All of these breeds or "types" of dogs will become 'banned' breeds once Bill 132 comes into effect. We want to stress here that anyone who owns one of the aforementioned 'banned' breeds within 90 days of the enactment of this bill DOES NOT have an illegal dog. These dogs are being 'grandfathered' and people are allowed to keep them although they must follow the rules regarding restrictions. If you own a cross breed and fear that it might be considered a Pit Bull cross then the burden of proof that it is NOT a Pit Bull cross is on you. We recommend that owners of cross breed dogs that may have some of the physical characteristics of Pit Bull type dogs take action to establish the dog's breed identity formally. For example, if your Vet has your dog down in his or her files as a "Labrador cross" then you might consider asking your Vet for a letter signed by him or her that simply states that your dog is a Lab cross. Make copies of the original (which you should store safely) and keep copies on hand in case you are stopped by authorities walking your dog or in case a neighbour accuses you of owning a Pit Bull and not following the rules restricting them. BTW, The Ontario Medical Veterinary Association has sent out an advisory to their members recommending that Vets in Ontario NOT identify dogs as Pit Bulls due to the possibility of future liability.

I would also hasten to point out that while the central controversy over Bill 132 has involved the breed specific nature of the ban, there are also important elements in the amended Dog Owners Liability Act that will impact all dog owners and therefore I would encourage everyone to pay close attention to not only the Act itself, but the forthcoming regulations concerning the Act as well. The regulations will be very important as they are expected to expand upon and flesh out some of the language found in the amended Act (e.g., definition of 'menacing behaviour' which will effect all dog owners) We will be sure to make that available to our members as soon as possible.

Regards,

Casey

Clarifications Regarding Bill 132 in Ontario

I'm going to list a few things here in the hope of clearing up some confusion that seems to popping up as a result of various posts to a number of different message boards. Please keep in mind that the ONLY things we have available to us right now are the text of Bill 132, various public statements by the Attorney General, and some statements made to one of our members by the Attorney General's office.

Everything below is as I understand Bill 132 after its third reading. I'm not a lawyer, but most of this Bill is clear enough, with a few exceptions.

1. No date of enforcement has been officially announced. The Attorney General has publicly stated that the date of enforcement will be late summer or early fall 2005. Until that date, nothing has changed in Ontario regarding pit bulls.

2. The date of enforcement is to be determined by the Lieutenant Governor, in consultation with the Premier and his Cabinet. It is likely to be announced (along with the publication of regulations) at the end of March or beginning of April.

3. The regulations regarding pit bulls have not been officially published and are not likely to be available until the end of March or later. These regulations may include, but may not be limited to: leashing and muzzling, spaying or neutering, dog shows, etc. Only when these regulations are published will we know the full extent of our legal obligations.

4. A "restricted" pit bull is a pit bull type dog that is owned by a resident of Ontario on or before the date of enforcement or that was born within 90 days after that date. This is a LEGAL dog.

5. A "restricted" pit bull may be given to anyone outside the province, but may also be given (not sold) to someone in the province if that person has never owned a pit bull before or does not end up owning more pit bulls than they had when the Bill took effect. So, if one of your existing dogs dies, you can replace it with another one as long as the new one falls under the umbrella of "restricted" pit bull (see point 4 above). Anyone who has never owned a pit bull before can be given one, as long as it's already a legal pit bull.

6. Pit bulls born after the 90-day grace period are not legal and can be confiscated. It should be noted that pit bulls living outside the province may not be imported after the Bill comes into force. There is some conflict between the Dog Owners Liability Act and the Animals for Research Act as to what is done with these dogs after confiscation. One section says they must be killed. Another says that the pound can adopt them to someone outside Ontario, destroy them, or sell them for research. One of the biggest issues I see with the pit bull identification part of the law is that, a year from now, if you adopt a puppy of uncertain heritage that "looks like a pit bull", you can follow all the rules you want but the dog may still be declared illegal.

7. A pit bull is never allowed to bite or menace a person or other animal. If it does so, it must be destroyed. There is no other choice, regardless of why the dog did what it did. Extenuating circumstances are considered for other breeds.

8. If the court determines that your dog is a "pit bull" and you have violated the rules (regulations) regarding pit bulls, then it appears that the dog must be destroyed. The regulations have not yet been published, so we don't know what all the rules are going to be. There may also be some conflict between the Dog Owners Liability Act and the Animals for Research Act as to what happens to the dog if it ends up in the possession of a pound.

9. The regulations may proscribe muzzling or other restrictions, but we don't know what the regulations are yet. We can assume from the Attorney General's public statements that leashing, muzzling, and spay/neuter will be in there, but we don't know what else may be in the regulations.

10. If shelters, humane societies, SPCA, or rescue organizations are considered "owners" of the dogs that they already have (this isn't entirely clear), then they would be allowed to transfer the dogs (as long as they're not "selling" the dogs) to people in Ontario who fit the acceptable profile (see point 5 above). They can also transfer them to people outside the province. The Attorney General's office has stated to the media that shelters will still be allowed to adopt out pit bulls after the law comes into effect. We have no idea if charging adoption fees is considered "selling".

11. The dogs that are already in the pounds may transferred to people both inside and outside the province. The people in the province must fit the acceptable profile for pit bull owners (see point 5 above). The pounds also have the option of destroying the dog or selling it for research.

12. Any "restricted" pit bulls (i.e., legal) obtained by the pound after the law comes into effect appear to be treated the same way as point 11. There is some conflict as to whether or not these dogs can be returned to their owners (for example, if the dog accidentally gets loose and is picked up by Animal Control). If the owner is charged under clause 6 (e) of the Act (allowing a pit bull to stray), then subsection 4 (9) of the Act would apply and the dog would have to be destroyed. If Animal Control picks the dog up, but the owner isn't charged under the Dog Owners Liability Act, then it is possible that the dog might be returned to the owner, but there are definitely conflicts regarding this issue within Bill 132's changes to the Animals for Research Act.

13. Any illegal pit bulls obtained by the pound must be transferred to someone outside the province, destroyed or sold for research. They cannot be given to someone inside Ontario.

14. Owners of illegal pit bulls are not allowed to transfer them anywhere except to a pound or designated facility.

15. After the date of enforcement, don't leave Ontario for more than three months with your pit bull. You will not be allowed to bring the dog back in. If you are a resident of Ontario, but you own a pit bull that happens to be outside of Ontario on the date of enforcement, you will only have three months to get that dog back to Ontario.

Basically, the terms of your responsibility as a dog owner can be summarized as follows:

1. You must be in control of your dog (regardless of breed).
2. You must not allow your dog (regardless of breed) to bite or menace a person or domestic animal.
3. You must take reasonable precautions to ensure that your dog (regardless of breed) doesn't do those things.
4. If you own a legal pit bull, you must follow all regulations regarding pit bulls (as yet unpublished).
5. You are not allowed to own a pit bull if it was born after the 90-day grace period. You are not allowed to import a pit bull.
6. If you're not sure if your dog is a pit bull, but feel that it could be mistaken for one, then unless you can prove it isn't a pit bull, you should probably follow the regulations regarding pit bulls.

There are other parts of the Bill that discuss the powers of peace officers, who those peace officers can be, when they need a warrant and when they don't, etc. These can generally be covered by the following statements:

1. If an officer believes that you have contravened any of the legislation's requirements and your dog is in public, he/she may immediately seize your dog and send it to the pound.
2. If an officer believes that you have contravened any of the legislation's requirements, he/she can get a warrant to enter any premises (including your home) and use as much force as is necessary against you or the dog in order to seize the dog.
3. If an officer believes that there are emergency circumstances, which can include but are not limited to the threat of immediate serious harm to a person or domestic animal, he/she can enter any premises (including your home), without a warrant, and use as much force as is necessary against you or the dog in order to seize the dog.

There is no mention in the Bill of how the officer must come to believe the above things (i.e., no requirement that he/she must witness the offence). It is entirely possible that the officer accept the word of a neighbour or "interested party" that the offence has occurred.

A Message From Martin Deeley, Executive Director, IACP

California is in the process of passing legislation which will create mandatory spay/neuter for dogs before they are 4 months of age. This Bill AB1634 can be an influencer for the rest of the country and will affect the dog profession dramatically. Therefore we ask that you go to http://www.saveourdogs.net/ read and gain information on this bill and vote in the ballot following your reading and understanding of the implications of this Bill. You may not live in California but this law could set a precedent for all other states.

Many thanks.
Martin
