This situation is alarming and horrible ! For owner and dog ! How is this better alternative ! Have her take dog to obedience school or secure her dog differently ! Denying them a life together over a process is cruel ! I have 3 dogs ! And I would literally do anything for them ! This poor women and dog breaks my heart !

Shame on you, all of you, who have had a hand in Brindi not being freed and back with her owner, Francesca! What all y’all have done to Brindi is beyond cruelty. Let Brindi go home ! !

Still thinking of you Brindi, wherever you are sweet girl ❤️. My heart goes out to you and your mom Francesca who has fighted so hard and did everything to get you back. Shame on all these corrupt, heartless people who hindered you to have a happy life.

Please release this beloved dog to her heartbroken owner. Brindi and her owner do not deserve this inhumane punishment!! Please let her go NOW while she still has some life left in her to enjoy with her beloved "Mom" - Francesca Rogier.

Why do we kill innocent living beings just because they do not fit our system?

Sharon Kennedy

When we deny justice to the innocent , we abuse God's patience because He alone enjoys the full privilege of being Judge over all creation ..... when we don't follow His values and virtues there are consequences on Judgement Day! Fran's and Brindi's persecutors think they are getting away with this intentional sin, but Christ has warned that those that do persecution against the innocent are really persecuting Christ. the Man of sorrows takes all persecution to HIs cross and good flows, but for those who bring sorrow and unhappiness and delight in persecuting the innocent and fragile, they will one day have to face the consequences at God's Throne.

Kim Wilson

I have been following this story since the beginning. It is so sad. I pray brindi is freed and allowed to go home to her loving mama.

Mary Todd

She has served her time.

Tc Castelli

Please help Francesca and Brindi be together in life. Brindi needs to live!

Nathalie Thélamon

This situation is a shame for the city of Halifax and a scar for Canada before the rest of the civilized world!

Barbara Duke

I haven't heard anything about Brindi for a while, I just wondered what her status was. I think of her often and her owner.

Viviane Vanbuggenhout

Free Brindi!

Viviane Vanbuggenhout

Free Brindi!

Lynn Hussey

Release Brindi back to her loving owner! This is pathetic!

Dawn Shannon

There has been assessments done on Brindi by professionals in the field of working with dogs and all have come out positive then why is the city of Halifax keeping this fur baby. Brindi deserves more than this cold hearted treatment. If Francesca was a irresponsible owner as they say why is she fighting so hard to get her dog home where she belongs. None of this makes sense. The City of Halifax should relook at the way they are treating this case and realize that Brindi is loved and needs to go home to the one who loves her..

Karen Caswell

please set this baby free it's so horrific the abuse some pounds such as Humane Halifax pound .. I write pound because that is what this place is a cement stinkin building that keeps innocent dogs locked up so they can their twisted jollies off .. why don't they actually do something good for change how about care for these innocent little souls how do these people sleep at night they are truly sick ... let Bindi go back to her person that loves her let her be warm sleep on a soft bed and eat decent food and most of all let her feel the love she once knew and if possible for jail for the abusers who are torturing her everyday!!!

Maureen Dougherty

This is a terrible situation. It is long overdue to let this dog go home, especially now that the owner is so ill. Where is your compassion? What is wrong with you???

cathy pappas

This is wrong the dog has served time enough the lady is ill please give him back

Loretta Mitchell

This is shameful to keep a dog locked up like this for years. The dog has some dog aggression issues which is not the end of the world. Many dogs are this way. You need to do the right thing and reunite Bindy with her owner.

Patricia Arlow

Who are you people. ? What have you done to this Family? There is nothing "caring" or "professional" here. Do the Right thing and release the dog.!It's the least you Should do. WISH SOMEONE WOULD COME AND SUE! You City of Halifax. So disappointed and So Sad for the owner and dog

Unbelievable that this poor dog has been locked up for years! Surely by now you people must know her well enough to admit she is no danger. ~Her owner is ill too, have some compassion!!

This whole thing is a disgrace! Release Brindi to her Mom!

kymberly jackson

THIS WRONG KEEPING HER LOCKED UP FOR YEARS GIVE HER BACK TO HER OWNER

Rose Hawley

Set this dog free.She should NOT be euthanized.Its senseless !!!

Annette Marchand

I don't believe any animal should be euthanized, there's always behavior training that can help them with behavior issues.

Marni Gent VP NSHS

This is incredible!! It has been YEARS & this poor dog is still under threat? Humans get set free far earlier when they HAVE committed a crime...he did NOT!

Enough. Free this dog.

Shelly Duncan

10 years ?? Really

Wendy Rogers

It's outrageous that you're holding this dog who has not attacked any person or dog and has not bitten anyone. You just look vindictive in what you're doing. There is no basis for you to hold this dog Halifax, NS

Lydia Edwards Adams

What on Earth? Sounds like exploiting an animal to make money for the city's funds to me.

diane danielson

this is heartbreaking sounds more like nazi Germany than Halifax. I will never understand why this is gone on all these years someone up there grow a pair ,and release thids dog back to her owner.,

Beate Herrmann

STOPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathryn Barnhart

Please save this dog.

Melanie Smith

Please. Save. The . Dog! ♡

Helen Stewart

The owner has the right to engage an independent animal behaviourist to assess the dog's temperament.

Raquel Medina

All animals deserve respect !!

Christine Burckhardt

Let Bindi live! She doesn't deserve to be killed. The animal control officers should be fired for what they did. This is a sad and disgusting situation.

m shepheard

Send her back to her family you bastards

Greg Gorham

Let's free this poor animal and adopt her to a good home. This is a total injustice for gods sake show humanity!

myrle horn

Absolutely save this beautiful dog. She has suffered needlessly and deserves a happy, safe, loving home immediately.

Clancy Howes

The Municipality of Halifax is obviously biased when it comes to this case. There should be an internal and external audit of then entire handling of this case and all members of the City of Halifax who have participated in this cased should have their conduct reviewed. The prosecutor of the municipality should be dismissed and and replaced with a non-biased external person from another jurisdiction. Immediate review and ultimate release of this dog should occur based on the evidence provided by the trainer and veterinarian staff. Once released, the owner and dog should immediately leave the City of Halifax and most likely this Province as I feel that the City staff would ultimately seek retribution against both.

jackie rowlands

to many dogs are gettin treated sobadly they dont ask to be born

claudia pilo

ooo

Pat wolynec

Brindi needs to be released as soon as possible. She belongs with her mother. please have a heart and get them back together

Maria Fawcett

This has gone on long enough so just send Brindi home as the world is appalled at this situation.

velma roberge

Please save this dog. find a good home for this pet

Elaine Skiffington

No animal should be euthanized!!!!

Michele Broadie

The incarceration of Brindi is totally ridiculous this poor dog has done nothing wrong. She's missing out on the love and affection only her owner can give her. Please release her so she can finally have the love she deserves.

Maria Blake

What a shameful way for animal control to act. The people who stalked this poor woman and her dog should be prosecuted. The dog did nothing wrong. Dogs scrap with each other sometimes, just like people do. What is wrong with our society today that we thing an argument between two dogs should result in killing one of them! You don't even know what started the argument, except that the other dog was made to antagonize Brindi for months by it's owners. Shame on you. All of you.

L Heosler

This has gone on far too long. This dog deserves a home not a cage. It's a political pawn. Does that even make ANY sense??? Dear God, please free this helpless creature from the claws of idiocy and somewhere that it gets the love it deserves. Amen

Dar MacDonald

The decision to keep Brindi locked away from Francesca is barbaric. I thought we lived in Canada, the land of the free!!

How about fines for the owners? A dog is not guilty of anything - just being an animal - it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure safety for their animal and people - maybe a new owner is needed - DO NOT EUTHANIZE A HEALTHY ANIMAL!!!!

Please do your utmost to rectify a very long ordeal involving Francesca Rogier and her rightful custody in respect of Brindi. Many have been witness - with dismay -over a five/six year time period Brindi's wellbeing being put into seeming decline in a heartless manner. We call for transparency and mercy.

Ariel Rose

I am soooo disgusted by these hideous Halifax nazi's.

Amy Hayes

I can not believe this is still continuing!!!! In my opinion, any dog owners that would kick at another owner's dog as a form of gaining control in the above situation .. most likely need a solid kick themselves.... Give this loving, considerate pet owner her dog back. F R E E B R I N D I .

Gillian Gregory

Disgusting let this elderly dog home now. Unforgivable and deplorable

Steve

Please don't hurt Brindi

Sandra Coles

I do not agree with the way this has been handled and I do not think the dog has been given a fair chance. I think she should be "assessed" by a professional veterinarian to to be given the fair chance to see if she can be saved!

jenni edward

This dog should be returned to her owner. She's been kept for 7 long years away from her owner & now the said owner is ill. Enough is enough. Please release Brindi so that she & her owner can spend some time together, TY.

I am ashamed to say I live in Canada, where I thought animals were treated better. What the hell???

Someone needs to help this poor lady, Is it now enough she has to be fighting on her own for her beloved furbaby, and now she is fighting for her own life. There has to be some angel out there to help her please, life just isn't fair....

Leslie Eckstein

Free Brindi now! What is wrong with Halifax?

M Andrew Whiteman

I don't know HRM law, but in the USA this action is a clear violation of illegal seizure! Francesca is being tortured by vindictive and malicious prosecution. Please free Brindi immediately! If not to Francesca, then to a loving forever home! I would gladly accept Brindi into my home and am able to contain her to the house and a backyard with a 12 foot fence.

Czerny Auyang

This spiteful and vindictive couple and the hateful officials have condemned Brindi to a living death in prison by their relentless pursuit to have her killed. Isn't 7 years enough suffering for Brindi and her owner? What is wrong with these people that they need to put a dog down for a minor dog-on-dog incident? Brindi is now 12 yrs-old. Let her spend her last years at home with Francesca.

lesley daniels

very sad ... please we understand Animal Control officers making an initial decision ... however, on reading all the events surrounding this situation can these same Officer show they are not beyond making the right decision even if they have to change the original decision .. thank you all x

Marsha Andrews

This is beyond inhumane and should be upsetting to anyone who cares about dogs, or any pets for that matter. It is entirely reasonable that Animal Control are the ones out of control and I cannot fathom this cruelty to Brindi carrying on for as long as it has. What's reasonable is to give Brindi back to Francesca and stop harassing her. If Brindi saved her life instead of being taunted Brindi would be in the newspaper and all over television as as hero. Get a grip power hunger people. As a Maritimer away from home, I'm sickened that this has been allowed to go on for as long as it has.

FREE BRINDI!! This dog has been locked up in a human created prison and should be let free to enjoy the rest of her years in peace.

A year of a dog's life is roughly equivalent to 7 of a humans. This dog has served a life sentence already it's time to let him go home. Show kindness don't get caught up in who wins because in the end if he doesn't go home don't we all lose

This wrongful seizure and confinement of Brindi should never have happened in the first place. What a complete abuse of power! Such a disgusting miscarriage of "justice "clearly means Francesca and Bindi must be reunited as some belated compensation, as well at at least 100 000.00$ in damages. Anything less is adding insult to injury, as a dog is a family member and removing and dog by force is a vulgar display of power for the purpose of ego. What a sick story!

It's ridiculous to keep this poor dog and her humans apart b/c of a minor incident that was NOT evidence of a dangerous dog. Return her before she dies from your reactionary treatment of the situation. How can you call yourselves officers of the law or humane officers? This is beyond ridiculous! Keeping this dog in your custody and treating her the way you have, not allowing her to go home. What is wrong with you people? This sounds like nothing more than a stupid vendetta which you are aiding and abetting. Let this gentle, obedient dog who was just defending her territory (what dogs are supposed to do, btw) go back to her owner and live out the rest of her life, whatever you haven't shortened by your mistreatment. This is SO wrong!

Hard to read its so heartbreaking. Even harder to believe any judge would give a dog a life sentence. Almost. Eight years is ridiculous, sounds like revenge, contempt, vindictiveness to me. Its a shame for the owner and the dog. This cannot be legal. And you have an attorney? Shame on the judge, this is animal cruelty x 1000000ⁿ Sickening, I hope you can reunite them soon. Tragic way to treat people and animals. Feel the power to be mean? Disgusting.

This is insane!! What is wrong with you people? Are you even people any longer? This is a poor dog, not some monster. You are now the monsters. Let this poor animal go. You are power hungry savages and it's time to come into the real world and show some compassion. Right now, you are just disgusting, evil savages. You've had you fun, now let the dog go.

Jill Prosser

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! Release this poor dog that has been unjustly held as a prisoner for over half of her life. What in the world is the matter with you people??

Christopher Lickey

This is appalling, for a city to be able to make an arbitrary decision about the nature of an animal based solely on the word of an individual whose pet was also involved in these scuffles is nothing more than Hearsay, and an open invitation for using this "law" to make a point against someone they dislike. If you are going to persecute dogs for being dogs then why is the other dog not held accountable as well. Your lack of compassion and basic intelligence shocks me.

Leah Gratiot McDuffie

This has gone on long enough. Let that poor dog go to be with her human! Have some compassion!

Stella Mann

Human stupidity shining brightly here.

Angela Gaston-Gonzalez

People you are taking this to a new height. Get a grip, this Baby Has Well Earned His / Her GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD. MOST PRISONERS DON'T STAY IN JAIL THAT LONG. You have no idea of the suffering that you all have caused this Fur baby not to mention his Family. There is no reason for this Baby or his Family to suffer any more. Matter OF FACT You all at Humane Halifax Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia owe this Fur baby and his Family A Public apologize and another Fur baby to this Family for the Damages You Have Done to this Family You owe for seven years of all shots, de wormers heart worm testing along with heart worm medications and all services render for a new pup plus all basic check UPS , Not to mention Spay/Neuter and microchip and all the cost and services that go with it . You also owe them 7 years of Fur Baby Food for their New Fur Baby ( of their choice.) I also hope You (The Humane Halifax) realize that you owe all the same services for the Fur Baby (Brandi). I would think twice before making a snap judgment again, for next time it could be your Fur Baby that someone else makes such a snap judgment.

Caitlin Ciccone

If two children were to fight at a park would the police seize the children and put a human being through what Brindi is forced to go through? The answer is no. Animals have emotions, they can feel things the same exact way that a child would. I think most people would agree with me saying that animals are just a different shape or type of child.

Melanie Wood

This seems like a case of small minded weak people, trying to wield their bit of power, basically torturing a dog & her owner. There has to be an animal advocate group that could step in and help Ms. Rogier out.

courtney

Dogs get into fights. Its natural. You can not deam a dog dangerous simply because it got it a dog fight. A fight indicates 2 dogs engaged in a tussle, so why wasn't the other dog deamed dangerous as well? This absurdity needs to end. Let the dog go home to its owner. If you must insist, then enforce that she can't take her dog off leash anywhere and she must avoid other dogs. This is still ridiculous but at least its a compromise.

This no different than chaining an elephant and keeping it in solitude for 40 years of its life when it's a highly social and intellectual sentient being. Truly a horrible situation for both the dog, whose life matters, and her owner. But I've learned that this is humanity. What a hideous world. Do the right thing and save both of their lives by reuniting them and leaving them alone.

Animals bicker. If the dog doesn't like another dog, fine. It happens. She can muzzle the dog in public if that is a concern.

Dogs get defensive if they feel another dog is a threat to their owner. Obviously Bindi was protecting her owner and she is getting punished for doing exactly what a dog is suppost to do. Dog is peoples best friend. Dogs will protect what they love.

This is so wrong in so many ways. Why should this dog go on being punished over a scuffle that happened years ago. She is obviously not going to learn from being imprisonment. Give her back to her human that has been waiting years for her freedom and still waits in hopes to have her fur baby back to her. Not all animals get along with each other the same with people. But to be punished for not getting along but not even hurting the other dog is wrong it's been so long who is to say which one started it and what was it over. I feel it's more the humans fault for not seeing the signs the second time. Since dogs show signs if they are uncomfortable they don't just look for flights. It's time to free her and return to her loved ones to live out her rest of her days not behind concrete walls.

I've had pit bulls all my life, dogs do sometimes Scruffel. But if you take that dog away for a long time as you did the for 8 years of course that dogs going to have some issues around everyone. And it can all be fixed if treated right and percautions are made. For example a mussel if they ever go for a walk. And it's completely wrong to take people's words on the dog, unless there is evidence that the dog injured another dog badly there is no reason for it to be taken away. As I said earlier I had pit bulls for my whole life. Baby girl and Zeak brother and sister, sweetest dogs ever but have gotten in a little Scruffel here and there cause they feel treatened. Which is an animals instinct to protect its self which again can be fixed. And I have had my neighbors call the cops because they feel treatened just cause their pit bulls and they think my dogs are gonna just attack there's out of no where. They just wanted my dogs to be put down. So don't take the word from other people. And if that dog has a proper mussel for when they go on walks everything would be perfectly fine and this women would get the love of her life back! The only thing she has ever had!

Swallow your sick pride and let her live the rest of her years FREE.

This is disgusting. Can't be bothered to make her wear a muzzle when she's out and about? No no no, you condemn the poor thing to a life in a concrete cell. That's truly disgusting. Wishing for the best for this poor dog, I can't imagine how people have fed her and (hopefully) taken her outside for seven years and never once thought, "this isn't right." I really pity the people who are going to such great lengths to see this dog destroyed. I'm sorry that they have nothing better to do with their time than to spend several years making sure that one sweet, old dog remains behind bars. How embarrassing.

I hope to god some group of lawyers with money and time take you all to task particularly considering you are not actually following your own laws. I will certianly share this with every lawyer I know including international lawyers. I hope that take all of you to the woodshed. You are all horrible human beings with absolutely not a shred of human decency. You reap what you sow.

Please, let this dog go back to its owner. If it misbehaves then fine the owner, do not punish the dog by sticking it in solitary confinement. Dogs don't react to that sort of "punishment", they don't know what they are being punished for. They're just sad. If you want to stop dog aggression, train the owner or fine the owner. Please let Brindi have a nice few last years outside.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED DEPLORE THE MISTREATMENT OF THIS WOMAN AND HER DOG. WE DEMAND that Halifax immediately release Brindi to Francesca, so the two can live out their days together. The only acceptable alternative is to foster her safely outside of Halifax pending the outcome of a court appeal.

holding this animal is crazy. end this cruel incarceration.

this is completely ridiculous! This is absolutely a crime! I can hardly even believe this story is true… Send Brindi home! She likely only has a few years left of life at this point in time! What an utterly ridiculous and sinful situation!

That's more than enough! Make roles if its such a concern with owner letting it happen again. We are the real animals here!

Please let this baby have a home and love.. No one deserves that treatment for that long.

Terrible the dog should be allowed home and if they are worried the owner can use a muzzle for walks

Please let Brindi and her owner reunite. 8 years of separation is too long, very insensitive to separate them.

This is horrible 8 years in jail for what ??a scuffle ??

This punishment is way to severe .. No even real criminals get so many years... This dog need to be free

Vikki beer

Please help the poor dog

Rosa Cheng

From a place where far away from Halifax, I hope Brindi can be received a fair, reasonable and empathetic trail and judgement, in a wholly common senses to treat. It is so unfair to put up the human's ego to make a dog suffer Canada, show us you are a truly civilized country, with a truly innovative and humane Prime Minister just newly elected by the citizens.

JoEllen Sheffield

It's very possible to monitor this dog and give her a good life. This response has been histrionic. We should hear from the owner of the other dog and neighbors who know both dogs. A suggestion. Might be to contact Dogtown ( Idaho)to help. Maybe going there for some help and respite. They work with all kinds of dogs who supposedly are untrainable or whatever dogs are condemned for. Surely a high profile lawyer will take this case. My best. JoEllen

Jennifer Velasco

Free her!

Evelyn Goldthwaite

Enough fighting between town officials and Brindi's owner...meanwhile Brindi has suffered 8 years of isolation and abuse.....let Brindi go NOW! Never heard of such animal cruelty because of petty differences! Pure hateful town people!

Terina Shackleton

Eight years for a fight with another dog, that's ludicrous. We don't put people in jail for fist fighting that long. Its the only way a dog knows how to communicate.

Haydee M. Rodriguez

Canada is a first world nation known for so many good things. To learn that your good people have confined this poor dog for so many years, is heartbreaking. I strongly encourage you to do the right thing and release this vulnerable creature to her owner. Animals--much like children--depend on us for care. Please do the humane and compassionate act for dog and owner--allow them to live their last days together.

Peggy Baron

Let the dog go.

Catalin Radu

This is a pathetic TRAVESTY. Shame on you all. Give the sick woman her dog back. Have you no compassion? Free Brindi now. NOW.

This is an injustice to both owner and dog. The only thing that is being done is wasting the courts time and resources of the owner. Dogs are pack animals and must be allowed to socialize.

This is absolutely appalling. The length of time you have held a dog over a in or act of normal canine behaviour is just a show of your lack af common decency. You are torturing a woman and dog to the brink of death. I hope there is a hell of a lot of backlash from this.a

Please free Brindi. It has been so long being forced to serve her "sentence" for a simple fight which is so natural and common among animals or even human beings. Why must Brindi have to serve such a long punishment. Please have mercy for Brindi and Francesca. A minor mistake or action should be forgiven especially after such a long period of time. Brindi is helpless and voiceless. Please have mercy and be humane.

Jenny Bortoluzzi

Had this been a fight between two men and one was left with a few scratches, the man would, at worse, been in prison for a couple of months. Dogs fight, it happens, it's normal. I cannot comprehend how this would happen, it seems to me that there should be far more important things this town should be concentrating on. It's an embarrassment for Halifax. The details of the event clearly show animal cruelty from the couple who complained about Brindi, I see no charges being pressed against them? These two companions deserve to be reunited. It's almost Christmas, stop the spite, stop the cruelty, let it go and show a bit of compassion and humanity.

Hayley Barrett

What a heartbreaking story. Brindi obviously needs help and locking her up in a small confined space for 8 years has no doubt worsened her condition and is by definition animal cruelty. Dogs react like that when they are threatened or scared, albeit some worse than others. It's in their nature. I feel for her owner on so many levels. In her time of need she just wants to be with her best friend.

Patricia Maxwell

I think this dog has done enough time for such a minor fight. Is there nothing better for you guys to do than to waist time and money on such a stupid charge.

I knew it was scared & lost. U have to really look at everything.

Angela Robinson

The dog misbehaved years ago, and I understand committed the same offense twice. My suggestion and plea to you is that you release the dog, with restrictions, to her owner. The dog shoukd have to wear a bright collar saying "dangerous" or "vicious" which she really is neither, but for the sake of preventing another dog inndif fight. The dog shoukd always have to wear a leash and be muzzled when outside of the owners home. If the owner had a yard, the dog shoukd be confined to staying in the home and yard of the owner, with the exception of receiving veterinary care. This way the community has warning that the possibility of the dog biting their dog exists. Even though there were no injuries sustained to the dog that was "attacked". This dog has never bit a person, and has never cause any sort of serious damage. It is ridiculous to continue to separate them, and keep this dog in a cell for any longer. Both owner and dog are in poor health. It is the last wish the dogs owner has to have her dog home with her. They've done their time, the owner has continued this battle she will not cease. I'm pleading with you to let her be released to her owner with restrictions. Then it's a win win. If the dog commits the same offense again, after all the punishment they've endured, after all the restrictions set in place, then you will have to figure out a permanent sentence for this dog. There are also many animals behavior rehabilitation centers, she could be ordered to have to undergo training as another precaution.

Whoever made this stupid mistake is obviously overlooking the fact that dogs have a much shorter lifespan that humans.

The dog has served it's time, it didn't kill or even severely hurt another dog - scuffles happen, the dog is NOT dangerous - PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, let this poor dog live out her last few months of live in a warm loving home and not in a concrete kennel. It's such a small thing to ask, surely the prosecutor will come to their senses. Prayers for Brindi

What an outrage - set poor Brindi free to be reunited with his owner. It's natural for dogs to be aggressive with each other - you can't punish them for instinctive behaviour

I have two dogs of my own and have always grew up with dogs in our household and like kids they may not always get along with other kids in the neighbourhood but when two kids get in a scuffle we don't see them rip away from their parents and locked up. This is just foolish that this dog has been locked up for 8 years away from her home and family . Enough is enough people don't you have something better to do with your time then make this poor dog and women suffer. The person holding this up in court your a pour excuse of person who clearly isn't a real animal lover.

I'm appalled that this dog has had to endure a life of incarceration.... All dogs don't get along just as human beings don't! This is no reason to seize an an animal for years! Free Brindi now...you have punished this poor dog for too long....you should be ashamed of your decision ....make it right

Shay carter

This story breaks my heart. I cannot understand what anyone would have to gain from putting an animal, or human being through this sort of prolonged heartbreak. This has absolutely been handled the wrong way.

Rosemarie Boone

How do expect a dog to act after being locked up so long? Dogs need to be socialized and being isolated is no help to this dog. He is obviously getting along in years and he should be able to live out the rest of his life with someone who loves him. Eight years, shame on you.

8 years? Give your head a shake. This is just wrong, do the right thing.

Julia Smith

This case is absolutely barbaric, cruel and disgusting! For the "Humane society to torture the dog in this way his nothing short of horrific and unbelievable! Worse than any prisoner would have to endure. Dogs will be dogs and dogs can play rough or even get into a scuffle - just like children! The courts should have ruled the dog get training not torture it for years on end. I am so shocked at the uncivilized treatment of this dog. Free Brindi!

Jeri O

Please see it in your heart to release Brindi. The dog shouldn't suffer for differences between people. Please let her go home where she belongs. Thank you.

Please release Brindi to her guardian Francesca Rogier, She has been deprived of a humane existence for so many years already.

Susan Esmond

This is Descusting to the Human race. All animals should be Loved, if Brandi has been locked up for some time , of course she is going to not trust people, wouldn't you, I think no matter rich or poor someone should be able to have her,to love as a family member, I also believe that the people that were abusing Brandi should have some kind of discipline. My son was attacted by a dog while playing at a park and the dog wasn't put down, just well secured at home. I hope and pray that this matter will find a home for Brandi so she can live alittle,

Ron wilkins

This is a despicable act of cruelty with two victims.

This is terrible, you should let her free. I'm really disappointed at all of people in the town because of her dog. Truth is this dog never never harm to any dogs or people. I feel sorry for this owner. This dog should be back to where she belong to is her home with her owner. She's senior dog. Come on people rethink before you accused them. I'm gonna keep fight it for her dog until you relase her. You are so coward no shame!

This is absolutely inhumane, unreasonable and cruel. Dogs are social animals like us, should not be kept alone. This dog needs to be out.

How can you guys call yourselves a Humane Animal Control place. Keeping an animal locked up for 8 years is a disgrace. What happened to the other dogs that were in these "tussles", were they locked up? How do you know it wasn't that animal that wasn't the aggressor. It sounds like the owners of the other dog were the aggressors in all of this even kicking the dog, even admitting to stalking them all summer long-show some compassion here and hold the owners of the other dog accountable for their actions of be the instigators in this. Let the dog go home to her owner who is ill herself and let this dog who is ill have some dignity before she dies. Be Humane as the title in your agency suggests you are. It has been proven that Brindi is not "dog aggressive" is friendly and gentle. What is it that you have against this poor animal that can't even defend itself against you? Heck you don't even let her owner see her, why? She isn't aggressive, so what is really behind this in-humane treatment of this animal-petty revenge?

Debbie Jackson

It is a sad day when educated people get perverse pleasure in doing this to one woman and her furbaby. Shame on you...release the furbaby to its owner and then you can move o to more serious issues.

This story is horrendous........dogs "fight" between themselves all the time.....unfortunately, just like humans there are those like themselves they don't like....it is their natural instinct to react in the manner that is described here...

Dogs get in scuffles all the time. You cannot expect a dog to get along with every other dog they meet, you don't expect it from people. I hate to think about the effect this incident has had on both dog and owner. Just let her come home, she deserves to be with her owner who clearly loves her so much. I own a dog, she's soft as anything, scared of cats and plastic bags, she's gotten into scuffles before, she is an animal, that's how they let one another know something's wrong. Locking Brindi up will only serve to make her less sure of other dogs and more likely to snap.

Natalie Gaanderse

This is ridiculous, unjust, and inhumane. How on earth does it make sense to lock up a dog (do we even know who instigated these tussles), for eight years?! Humans get less time than that for manslaughter! How about training classes for the owner and dog (and for the owners of the other dogs as well), in order to overcome these kinds of "fights"? But eight years? What a drain on the legal system, and the lives of those involved. But most of all, on Brindi's life. Shame on the city and its outdated and nonsensical bylaw, and shame on them for how they handled and treated this dog. Her welfare was not looked after one bit. She was kept in that barren kennel to spite her owners, because egos got in the way of what really should have taken place. Unreal that humans could stoop so low as to keep a dog confined like that. It's abuse.

Incarcerating a dog for 7 years is animal cruelty. Consider the confinement 'time served' and release the dog to her owner. Otherwise, foster her outside of Halifax until the legal matter can be resolved. This story is unimaginably heartbreaking and does not reflect well on the city of Halifax and the officials involved.

Dr. Charles Cavalca

This is an absolute OUTRAGE!!!! This poor, poor dog should be freed immediately- the suffering imposed on this dog is reprehensible, and someone should pay the price for having inflicted such pain and suffering on an innocent animal, who has absolutely no powers of comprehension beyond that of the fact that (through no fault of her own) her owner has totally abandoned her.

Debrah McCabe

How can you lock this dog in a cell for 8 years? If I did that to my animal, the SPCA would be on my doorstep issuing ultimatums and yet you do the same to this poor animal. How do you people sleep at night?

Debbie wallace

PLEASE give this woman back her dog. So unjustly fair.

Mary A Leon

There is NO EXCUSE denying Francesca the information she deserves: Is BRINDI still alive? This poor dog NEEDS to be home. She can stay in her own back yard instead of visiting the local dog park. PLEASE let Francesca know if BRINDI is still alive, and if so, send her back home. I'm positive Francesca will feel better and so will BRINDI. The neighbors? Who cares? They are vindictive people. I would rather be neighbors with BRINDI and Francesca anytime instead of having to live with such an anal-retentive 'neighbor' who seems to enjoy making people and animals suffer.

Carmella Gioio

I am the former Commission Secretary for the Los Angeles City Dept of Animal Regulation, and I ask as one who knows the difficulty dealing with animal fights, that you try to protect both animals.

Please make the humane choice. Thank you - Carmella Gioio

I find it unusual that the space this poor dog is forced to live in is so unacceptable for so many reasons. I consider the treatment of this animal as abuse and wonder why the Humane Society of Canada has not stepped in to assist. I can only conclude that the people in charge have a personal vendetta against this dog and owner. Any rational person can see this is something that should have been rectified years ago with the dog being returned to its owner. The people in charge need to be fired and replaced. What has transpired here is totally reprehensible and indicates that those in authority are abusing their power. Someone must have the ability to step in and free this dog. Is this just a plain corruption on the part of officials?

Please release this dog now. It's shameful to keep a pet locked up this long away from her owner. They need each other. Enough's enough.

Rhonda Spor

Holding a dog for almost 8 years. Really,Seriously? Give this dog back to her owner its where she belongs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherstin Rademacher

you cant do this to the por dog. she/he is old and need a loving home the short time she /he has left.

Barbara Herbert

This is totally ridiculous and totally uncalled for. let Brindi and Francesca be together. Have we become so heartless, that we choose to have a dog put down, that has done nothing, instead of her going back to her owner. Both have gone through enough. 7 years of hurt, wasted time and money. Shame on you Halifax Nova Scotia

Patricia Stockus

FREE BRINDI - IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. SHE HAS BEEN TREATED SO UNFAIRLY - 8 YEARS REALLY?

Bettina Roth

Please free this dog, how could you feel decent as a human being to do this ? Do the RIGHT thing and send the pup home to her mom.

Wanda

This case is so wrong. That poor dog and her poor owner have been separated for years for NO VALID REASON. Return Brindi to her owner.

Michael Glenetzke

Shame on Halifax! The reputation of Halifax has been tarnished by this inhumane treatment of an animal. Those in charge of this case should be monitored for other mistreatment of animals as well as humans (which can be a direct result)!

Let Brindi go; she did nothing to deserve being murdered while the vengeful humans who provoked this horrible and inhumane situation are getting off scott-free, with not even a slap on the hand for *their* wrong-doings. Let Justice be done for Brindi and her owner. Let Brindi go home to the woman who needs her and a good life she deserves; make those who provoked this and those who abuse their power to perpetuate this face the consequences for their vengeful and abusive actions. Don't MURDER Brindi; FREE her!

Maryanne Baer

I have no words that can describe this locking up Brindi in an animal control shelter for 8 bloody years!!! Shameful is what it is to keep this dog and her sick owner apart because the dog lashed out at another DOG, not a human. Sounds like a vendetta against the owner by these women. Small minds think alike in this case in Halifax. The dog did no harm to humans, dogs tussle all the time and it should not be allowed to continue the locking up of Brindi. This dog belongs with her owner, her family not in some concrete cell, 8 years is a very long time to continue this disgraceful behaviour to a dog owner and her dog, all for tussling in a DOG park with another DOG. Release Brindi in time for Christmas, , it's the right thing to do as you have been in the wrong for 8 years by keeping the dog without valid reasons. What a shameful side to City of Halifax. Do you lock up criminals for this long if they misbehave in public?

Melissa Morrison

Heaven forbid a dog be a dog and get into a minor fight, it's normal. Dog is not evil because it does what's normal to it, it didn't majorly harm the other animal. What isn't normal is the treatment brought onto this poor dog by the humans Lori Scolaro, Tim Hamm. Shame on you, if I could lock you up like you did this dog, I would along with a whole bunch of supporters.

Deplorable treatment of a poor animal, sorry to say animals fight, no different than human beings, but they aren't locked up and meant to suffers for years on end. You people that locked up this poor creature should be ashamed of yourself and my Karma get you in the end, and you too suffer like this poor creature. I am appalled by the decision of these cold hearted humans, their actions speak louder than words.

BC it got into a scuffle with another dog!!!! and by so doing not only punish the dog-----but punish it's owner too by depriving the two of them of each other's love & companionship!!!! If YOU lived in the USA YOU would be hauled into court for inhumane and cruel treatment of an animal! YOU, IN HALIFAX-- SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!! HAVE YOU NO HEARTS?

Applonia Rodriguez

I own a dog who is the same way. He's awkward around other dogs, and occasionally gets into scuffles with them. He's been attacked before as a puppy, and nothing we do has helped him get over his weariness. Does he fight with all dogs? No. Can he? Sure. Dogs are much like humans, they don't get along with everyone. No dog should be punished for not getting along with another dog. The owner needs to keep her dog away from specific dogs, but neither needs to suffer through this sadistic ploy.

Piper McKnight

This woman and her dog are both dying. Do you want your political legacy to be that you were the insensitive bully that kept them apart in their final days? Regardless of the "crime" this dog has been punished enough. Two-thirds of its life in a box without its pack - that's more time that you would sentence a murderer to serve. Logic and compassion must prevail here. Your torture serves no one: not the victim, not the city, and definitely not your political career. There can't be a single soul in your community that thinks what you're doing is sane, fair, or reasonable. Stop the insanity and reunite this family now!

Richard Dewey

Stop being an ass and let this dog be with her owner. After 8 years more than half of her life has been spend in these conditions.

veronica solis ruiz

Shame on the people responsible for the care of the dog. Not even humans acused of the unimaginable crimes are punished this way, on the contrary this animal control place should be punished for having animals in such small places and give the dog freedom for all the time she's been locked up. This prosecutor, instead of trying to get the dog euthanized, should be looking for any type of training but what can you expect from a person that just sees the bad things. He must be a perfect person that never has made mistakes in his life .put him in the cage where the dog is for one day only .

This is unbelievable. This dog has been locked up for 8 years? Seriously? I'm going to guess this has more to do with the neighbor to neighbor relationship than a dog scuffle. Why hasn't the owner been given the opportunity to visit with her dog during all this time? This isn't even humane? Why wasn't the option of fostering the dog a possibility? There is something very wrong here. Please allow this woman and her dog spend their final years together. The woman has cancer for heaven's sake. The dog is now a senior dog, with likely few years left. What possible good is coming of continuing this ridiculous "sentence" against this dog. Please, please, please reconsider your ruling and allow a humane solution to allow the owner and dog to reunite. Thank you.

I empathize with Francesca on a very deep level. I too am ill and just lost my mother. Not married and no children except for my cat, Pearl, who I rescued from euthanization eight years ago when I was a volunteer at the Humane Society in my town. Please let them be reunited. Animals dislike each other sometimes just like humans do. As long as she is leashed or fenced in when outdoors, there should be no further problems. Perhaps a hardware store in your town could donate fencing for Francesca's yard? I know Pearl has been one of my few joys since losing my mom. And she's a great nurse cat :) Please bring these two back together. You can tell Brindi loves her mom in the pictures shown. They need to be back together. This punishment is way beyond what was necessary, from the details in the article. Six years in dog prison? Just plain cruel.

Please set Brindi free and DO NOT Euthanize her, she deserves a better life with her loving forever home. These are not 'just animals', they have huge hearts and better souls than many human beings. We get 2nd/3rd and so on chances; she should get a 2nd chance too. I would personally take her if I could but I come from a family who grew up rescuing animals and still do, and we have more then our fair share of rescues. Please have a heart and allow your soul to grow, set Brindi free and return her to her home. Dogs have scuffles, it shouldn't cost her life.

Kathy Marino

this is ridiculous! release brindi!

Scolaro should be in jail for corruption and mistreating an innocent dog.He is evil.Have compassion for the poor dog. Release her!

Diana

It is clear that there is a big injustice here, in separating this beautiful and highly intelligent dog from its loving owner. Dogs and humans make strong bounds for life, and each are valuable companions to the other. There is a great deal of research and many articles that evidence that dogs are a 'man's' best friend. They are sentient beings and deserving of our deep respect. They are loyal. They are used in support of the elderly, those that are depressed, those that are sick and those that are blind and so much more....Please see this dog in the light of the gift that dogs are to humans and show respect, and show compassion. Allow this dog and owner to be reunited again. Thank you.

Sharon Vickery

Humans get into scuffles with each other all the time,but we don't always lock them away in Solitaire confinment for eight years. This ASnimal Cruelty at the hands of the City. FREE Bindi Now!!!! Let her return home where she is loved,wanted and needed!!!!!!

Make restrictions about her leaving the property if need be but don't lock her away like some monster. That is lunacy.

peter le breton

he has done 8 years ,more than some convicted felons .he has done enough time .Free him now

Norma

Sounds to me like some petty officials with a personal grudge have made a mockery of the judicial system in Nova Scotia. 7 years in custody and no visiting rights for the owner. That's a longer sentence than a human gets for abusing an animal. Get your heads out of your collective arises and release Brindi to her owner. This inhumane & abusive treatment to a animal locked up that has a home & has passed behavioural training. I believe the Animal Control officer who originally seized Brindi should brought up on charges.

Pam Wimmer

I think not...Do the right thing and stop this..Let her go home and live her remaining life with her owner.

Toni Lynn

Please let this poor dog go home. To think she is still locked up after 8 years, for a minor dog scuffle is criminally insane. This dog has done nothing wrong, the owner has done nothing but play kiss ass for 8 long years and it is without a doubt, time to FREE BRINDI! This little spectacal is surely not looking well for the City of Halifax, nor the Province of Nova Scotia. PLEASE FREE THIS POOR DOG (if she is even still alive)!

Kathleen Walin

If Brindi hasn't shown any unfavorable behaviors towards people and it isn't her fault if another dog triggers an attack. (Currently going through a court battle with dog bite attack in injury towards another dog) Let Brindi out and let Francesca enjoy what time she can with her dog while there is time to for both of them.

Please do the right thing and set Brindi free! Love is the answer. We love you, Brindi!!

S. Cinneide

Why hasn't the City of Halifax done the compassion and released this dog to Francesca and why hasn't proof that Brindi is alive be made available for the general public's relief? It is deplorable how the city ignores God's standards of law and compassion and to compound their ignorance at the season of Christmas.

Enough is enough. To hold an animal in a cell for all these years because you don't like her owner is preposterous. To hold her because she got in a slight scuffle is also preposterous.

denise doyle

This is one of the worst cases of cruelty and injustice I've come across in a first world country. To leave a dog to languish for SEVEN years (at our tax payers expense) for the simple reason of a little scuffle between dogs???? It only leads one to believe that there is much more going on than a simple dog scuffle. I am OUTRAGED at the treatment of this poor dog! and the poor ill woman who's rights were totally taken away from her. These people should not have this power. They have abused their right to this power. They need to be taken to task. They cannot harm animals and citizens like this!!! Save this dog IMMEDIATELY and give her back to her greiving, dying, loving owner.....who has neither the energy nor the money to keep fighting a system that seems to have the omnipotent, unquestionable power to do whatever they want. And are acting totally biased. It is passed time to make a wrong a right. Give this poor, mistreated dog back to her poor, mistreated woman. And also look into the system that unlawfully pushed for their own agenda, and forced SUCH GROSS AND UNJUST treatment upon these two OBVIOUSLY innocent citizens. Every single day is a living hell for them!!

You city officials have better things to do than worry about a non-viscious dog. This poor animal has suffered without the love of her human for too many yrs. Leaving her sick and alone in a kennel is plain animal abuse. Release this dog so she can live out what time she has left with her human. For God's sake...have some resemblance of a heart!

Lynne Burnell

The dog has and is being mistreated because of a revenge vendetta. Her owner is also being picked on. This is so sad and unnecessary. Give it up Ms Scolaro and let the owner and dog live in peace.

Norma Page

This so wrong on so many levels!!!!!

please contact me. I will gladly adopt her. Then Brindi shall be giving a great life, warmth and the love that was so wrongfully taken from her.

irma

why do you need my street address

Joan Gainsford

I think that Brindi needs to go to her owner as she and her owner have been abused by the authorities, she needs to go home, the authorities need to be questioned on their actions, praying for you all to help get Brindi to her mom

iRIS M. HAGENEY

This is a horrible case of injustice to an innocent dog and her guardian. All of Halifax and Canada should be ashamed and rectify this abomination by releasing Brindi immediately while she and her guardian can enjoy each others company for as long as Francesca has to live after her cancer surgery. Brindi should also be given to another humane and loving guardian if she survives after Francesca's death. Seven years apart is cruel and unusual punishment for any offense, mush less one that is totally unproven and ridiculous. The so called "judge" in this case should be removed from the bench immediately!

Cori thompson

Put him up for adoption with an appropriate rescue. How would you like to live out your life in a cage!

We declare that any outcome other than the return of Brindi to Francesca, or her adoption to a person as committed to her as she is, is unacceptable and would be intolerably cruel. We call on Halifax to answer to the public outrage its unfair and harmful treatment of Brindi and Francesca has caused. If it will not return Brindi to Francesca, it must allow the dog to be adopted by a good home – preferably outside of Halifax, where there is no threat of death or removal as a punishment for harmless scuffles!!!

Annette Luter

What cold heartless people you all must be, to take a fur baby away from her human mum just for having a scuffle with another dog. The pain and stress you have put them both through is unjust and should be rectified by returning Brindi to her mum, after spending 7 years behind bars for something so petty i think she has served her time. The owners of the other dog should have to pay for all the hardships this family have gone through because they had set their minds on revenge from the very beginning. PLEASE HAVE A HEART AND SAVE THIS DOG FROM BEING MURDERED, I THINK BRINDI AND HER MUM HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH.

Laura Billings

7 years? Don't you think this dog would have bit in 7 years. Please let her go back home.

Are there NO real crimes occurring in Halifax, that the authorities need to keep a dog locked up in legal red tape as well as a cage for SEVEN YEARS?? Why are the citizens of this city allowing this to go on for so long? This poor dog has spent almost half its project life away from its owner! This is animal abuse.

Jean Melusky

This seems to me to be an outrageous and inhumane over-reaction. And under-reaction too as the dog's health problems are directly attributable to inadequate veterinary care. The authorities are the ones who are unfit to have custody. The original complainants should be assessed.

The bond between an animal and it's owner is very special. This rescue baby deserves so much better than the treatment she has received. There is absolutely no excuse for this animal to be put down. The trouble here is corrupt officials and outdated by laws that allow them to torture an animal and it's loving owner for their sheer sadistic satisfaction. These people should never hold positions of authority. Unfortunately this is a common situation. I demand that they be held accountable for their deplorable actions and that this sweet dog be released to her loving owner. Any other outcome is a hypocrisy of justice.

Look after the animals do Not put them down

Debbie Sangma

My heart breaks for Brindi and her owner. It's really sad that a sweet dog like her has spent most of her time and years behind bars and now she's to be euthanized in her old age. I didn't realize people could be this vindictive nor that draconian laws existed.

Linda Lakin

Sounds like retaliation to me. I think these people need to be suspended from their jobs and this poor animal returned to its rightful owner. This is cruelty at its highest. She needs to be released now!

Rosemary Tofexis

Put this beautiful animal down????? what's wrong with these two "females" I refuse to call them women!!! This animal has done NOTHING TO EVEN think OF BEING DESTROYED!!! let her stay with her owner as they love and need each other and just leave them alone!!!! GOD be with them!!! XOXOXO <3 <3

i have the slide feeling that this judge never had a dog . no offence in this. but someone has a dog knows how good heart they have, if the dog was kicked by 2 persons. he is defending himself only. and this is called selfdefence. i m not sure but there is self defence in the law books... only because it is a dog doesn t mean everyone has the right to harm the animal. so open your heart and maybe it would help to visit the dog one time personally. and what about the two passenger who were kicking a dog which is not there s ????

Tina Lalic

Ive owned dogs all my life and i am strongly against humans puting down animals.. An animal is an animal and acts as such. If an animal reacts in an aggressive nature, it is his or her instinct in self defense. Animals cannot speak, therefore humans need to be intelligent enough to understand what the animal is rying to say by its body language and stance. very few people are qualified to "read" an animal. This dog should not ? cannot be put down. He who euthanizes and animal fears the animal and is not equipped to train or handle that animal.

Maria Silva

this is absolutely cruel and inhumane. STOP THE KILLING ! Humans are the worst breed of animal!

I think this is out right ridiculous and you need to worry about the people who are killing animals and mistreating them instead of bullying a lady and her dog. This makes me sick to my stomach. I mean really it's a dog everyone has a dog just about and last time I checked dogs fight just like humans do but the difference is they can't comprehend like we can. I am a full advocate for dogs and this just makes your state look stupid. Get a life you damn morons.

This is ridiculous and malicious. This woman has been singled out by someone and persecuted. I am an American and spent some time in Halifax and thought it was a wonderful city. I will never spend another dime there. I have owned multiple dogs and sometimes they get in fights, just like people do, though dogs usually get over it much quicker. Someone is out to get this woman and doing it by hurting a living creature that she loves. This is one of most stupid vendettas I've ever heard about and the people who own the other dog are just nasty. Why is this all on her dog? The other one fought also. So I'm guessing someone is picking favorites.

At this point, it is obvious that for HRM and prosecutor Salsman, this case has become more an issue of prideful obstinance and even a personal vendetta in response to the tireless efforts of Ms. Rogier. Salsman has no right to hold public office as she cannot be objective. Their brand of "justice" has not been meted out to dogs who have caused even more serious injuries. Their steadfast refusal to entertain any alternative solutions is insanely irrational. They plan to wait until this poor dog dies of old age. There is absolutely no excuse for the heartless cruelty inflicted on a dog. Shame, shame, shame!

When I first saw this post I assumed this was a story from some third world country. I was horrified that this is happening in Canada. Hello Winnipeg welcome to the 21st Century !!!

Magdalena Szul

My apologies Winnipeg...I meant Halifax. Sorry.

This is unheard of!!!!

This is criminal to have kept this dog locked away like this. It is also obvious the owner should not have her as she is irresponsible , and has been a factor in Brindies situation This dog needs medical care immediately, and to be placed in a home environment with a person who will let me her, supervise and kindly teach her, not allowing more incident as previous. However to kill her, or keep her locked away is WRONG! All animals DESERVE to be safe, from humans and other animals. It is humans at fault. Stop making it worse! Give her a loving home for what time she has left!

This is just cruelty by government against innocent people and a poor dog. Please get that dog back to her people, now.

Robin Huffman

Anneli Thorstrom

Give brindi back 7 years is long enough

Beverley Collins

These officials obviously do not understand that a dogs instinct is to protect it's owner & his property.

Julee Kerr

Please return Bindi

Justice is dead in Canada and has been for a few decades...unless you have $2,000 per hour to feed into the pockets of the unscrupulous justice is denied. However, if you are a demented killer every comfort is given to you at taxpayers expense. Homolka was given facial surgery so she wouldn't be recognized on parole, an apartment....Magnotta vaunted to reporters of the comfort and privileges he has while incarcerated....a cell better than most dorms in colleges, with his choice of what he wants to put on the wall in the way of decoration, a cell door that is left open, tv, computer access, facials, (yes facials), the right to wear his own clothes rather than prison garb, educational opportunities.....all this information was disclosed to and authenticated by mainstream media. Why is the legal system so generous to demon killers, but so vicious to a woman that only wants Brindi to be safe and happy?

This is outrageous. Let that poor dog go back to her owner. You should be ashamed of how you've treated her and what you've put her owner through.

Since when does a democratic government get to operate in secret? This is a pathetic travesty of justice and the costs of sheltering Brindi and battling her owner have no doubt gone beyond what any citizen would consider reasonable or just. Release the innocent victim to her innocent owner and move on to matters of real consequence!
