Dear SUFP,

I don’t have my own letter that people could share as they’re more “personal” and in French but found this great one on the Justice for Bullies website:

To Denis Coderre (Mayor of Montréal, Québec, Canada):

If you and your city council politicians insist on restricting and banning dogs because of the way they look, then we and all of OUR friends will choose not to contribute to the City of Montreal tourism revenue.

As long as you have breed-specific language in your laws, we will boycott the city of Montreal.

We will not condone the discrimination created by you, Mayor Coderre, and your political friends. You already know from every expert that this type of legislation does not improve public safety.

Instead of implementing proven bylaws and programs that work, as long as you are willing to take the lazy approach to public safety, killing thousands of unoffending family pets in order to look like you are “doing something”, then you, your city council, and your city do not deserve our money.

My Montréal includes ALL dogs!

#MTLmomentsincludealldogs

It’s a great letter as it threatens tourism in the city and this year is the 375th anniversary, so the city would like to have lots of people.

Thanks so much for the support and for all that you guys do. I follow your Facebook page and it’s so great to see people fighting for dogs. We won’t stop fighting! Our SPCA just announced that they plan to stop their dog services with the city if they go through with the ban; hopefully it makes them re-think, or else it’ll be tough.

Here is a good petition to sign with super good information:http://www.saferkindercommunities.com/?lang=en
