First of all, I agree that there would have to be a great many amendments to Bill S-203 to bring it up to date. For example, the use of the term “kept for a lawful purpose” gives a great deal of difficulty to enforcement officers. I'd like to see something that deals more specifically with the issue of dog fighting. It is a crime that's not adequately addressed in the Criminal Code, and I don't believe it's adequately addressed in Senator Bryden's bill either.
