SAMPLE LETTER � Print/Send
This Letter
Dear HRM Animal Services and Officials of Halifax, Nova Scotia:
Sometimes one life represents many. Brindi and her caretaker Francesca Rogier are
just one dog and one woman � but their ordeal
resonates worldwide.
On July 24, 2008 Halifax animal control officers seized Brindi for euthanasia. Since
then, she's languished in the SPCA's city pound. Rogier has
not been allowed to see her dog for six months.
In Halifax, animal control officers seem to use preemptive euthanasia, rather than
"educate on responsible pet ownership" or consider
statements from people who know the animal in question. Brindi has never attacked a
human being. She has never gravely injured an animal.
She is a microchipped, spayed and vaccinated graduate of obedience class who lived
with Rogier and her two cats.
Brindi's three offenses occurred when the rambunctious shepherd-lab mix broke loose
and dashed toward other dogs and their people
walking on a road that borders Rogier's property. After the first encounter (with no
report of serious injury to the other dog), police cited
Rogier for lack of a municipal license � which she obtained quickly thereafter.
The second incident in April 2008 led to another dog's minor puncture wound, for
which a guardian is ordinarily fined or ordered to erect
fencing. Officers instead issued a permanent muzzle order that, under Halifax By-Law
A300, commands euthanasia for any future violation.
On July 20, 2008 Brindi ran out a patio door before fully muzzled and leashed. With
Rogier behind her, Brindi bee-lined toward a man and his
two dogs. Brindi circled as the man kicked at her. Apparently, no injuries were
recorded. Still, Brindi was seized and sentenced to die within
four days of the event.
If Animal Services does not cancel Brindi's euthanasia, I urge municipal authorities
to intervene. Please give Brindi her life and release her to
Francesca Rogier, who has already fenced in her home's entryways, consulted a private
trainer, and agreed to pay all fines and costs. I urge
you to examine statements from those who know Brindi:
� Brindi's vet has never documented "aggression" in the dog's medical file.
� Neither her groomer nor kennel owner consider Brindi a dangerous dog.
� Even a mail carrier wrote that she was certain Brindi would never bite her.
Brindi's life matters. While public safety is rightfully your priority, the quick-to-
kill response lacks humanity and progressive vision. Surely you
can send Brindi home with stipulations. She does not need to die.
Thank you,

UPDATE: Brindi's Life Is Spared, But She
Can't Go Home Yet
4/20/10, UPDATE: Francesca Rogier spent her
savings and the last two years of her life saving her
mutt Brindi from euthanasia at the hands of the Halifax pound that still has the dog.
Justice Alanna Murphy spared Brindi's life, but it's not clear
when Brindi and Rogier will be reunited.
Justice Murphy imposed conditions before Brindi can be released from a city pound,
where she's been since 2008 when she rushed off Rogier's
property and attacked a leashed dog. Both dog and Rogier must take training courses
and Rogier must provide secure enclosure for the animal
at her home. Brindi must also be muzzled outside the home and appear on a dangerous
dog registry...A spokeswoman said the city won't
appeal the verdict. Rogier had argued that her dog was not usually aggressive but
attacked a neighborhood dog who had fought with Brindi
previously. An animal trainer testified that the mutt showed no signs of aggression
and should not be put down...

 ������
Halifax has already recognized that Brindi is not a threat to humans. It was
informed
by two respected trainers that her wayward behavior does not signify aggression
and definitely can be corrected. Yet the city�refuses to accept reasonable
alternatives that would both maintain safety and keep her alive.
"FREE BRINDI" This dog must not be
euthanized!
Brindi is a five-year-old shepherd-lab mix. I adopted her from a shelter. Until
recently,
she lived quite happily with me and my two cats, Amelia and Rudy. On July 24, 2008,
animal control officers from the city of Halifax appeared at my door. They entered
without a word, then showed me a court order to seize Brindi for euthanization�
HALIFAX WANTS TO KILL MY DOG!
