Saving Stella

Here in Ontario we have a piece of legislation that states that any dog found killing livestock must be terminated within 48 hours.  The goal of this petition is to have the act ammend, changed to a fine or punishment for the owner not the dog!!! On May 18 2011 my German Shepherd Stella killed two of our neighbours chickens, animal control came and informed us that she would be put to sleep within 48 hours, although we as the owners have the right to refuse to put Stella down, in doing so we have been charged and now have to attend court, at which time a judge or justice will decide Stella fate..
My main concern about this act is that it gives Livestock more rights than people, if a dog bites you,  the owners get a fine and may have some conditions on housing the dog, but if a dog kills livestock...... punishment is death!!!
