FREE MAJLO!

Target:
5000

Majlo is a sweet and gentle dog who has never harmed anyone.  Still he is confiscated and ordered killed by the police of Norway, and has been held in a secret place since February 2009.  His family haven't seen him since he was taken away.  They are claimed for 500 dollars to see their own dog, in addition to the 250 dollars they pay each week for his imprisonment. Their crime:  Not knowing that the breed was banned in Norway when they came over from Sweden, where the breed is legal. 

Although the law offers banned breeds to leave the country with their owners, the police insist on Majlo being killed instead.  A behaviour test  on Majlo proves that his temper is very good, but it has become a question of prestige to the police to take his life.  Now it is up to the court to decide Majlo's fate.  Please tell them how wrong it is to kill an innocent dog and deprive a family of their beloved friend, just to make an example!  

For more information about Majlo and photos of him, see Majlo's page at Canadian Voice for Animals: http://www.cvfaf.org/MAJLO.html

Jeg h¨åper virkelig den hunden får leve !! Det går virkelig ikke an å avlive en hund fordi eierene ikke visste at det var forbudt med amstaff i norge når det er lov i sverige.det er lov med en menneskelig feil og dette må politiet skjønne her. Hunder er en del av familie,for meg sammenlignes det som om de skal få familiens sønn avlivet.HORRIBELT!! Free majlo !!! xoxo Alexandra Elena Østrøm

What the hell are you people in Norway thinking??? why do i even have to sign this?? Why do this to a sweet innocent dog?? IT´S NOT A DOG THAT ATTACKS!! The owners are not bringing up this dog for the purpose of fighting!! It´s when a dog owned by the wrong owner, it becomes aggressive!! it´s not based on breed!! you are all idiots in parliament thinking this!

Hei har selv en amstaff på 5år og hun er bverdens snilleste med barna og jeg mener da at norske myndigheter har gjort en feil da de gjorde rase ulovlig de bør iallefall få sjansen til å få den tilbake til sverige og ut av dette elendige landet som IKKE vet hva de snakker om og gjør

It amazes me that in this day and age people are prepared to sacrifice an innocent life to make a point. You will be bigger men by allowing this dog to go to a country which allows him to live in peace, do not punish the dog for his owners' crime.

Please do the right and honorable thing and let Milo leave with his owners. I understand he has been behavior tested and passed with flying colors. Milo hasn't done anything to deserve to be put to death just because of his breed. It is not the breed that determines whether a dog is good or bad. It is the way he is treated and brought up. Do the right thing and let Milo go back to his owners.

When a Country, State, City/town, or Local Community TURN A Blind Eye to Compassion and Only Follow the exact letter of the law-they take a step back from being Civilized and become more of what the World fought against(Tyranny, Dictators, Communism) etc. Then too it started with a Blind eye. The German People found it easy with a Radical Madmana to place Blame upon the Jews for their economic woes. Slaughtering Tens of thousands! The United Staes crate the foremost Free Society-but had to fight a Civil War to ensure all men were really created equal-and then it took another 100 plus years and then some for TRUE FREEDOM and Equality. Today stilll the Worlds richest businessmen still Traffic in Human slves and suffering-rape of women, children etc. God gave us Dogs of all breeds to Protect us, keep us safe, to be our constant companions,and keep us company, to hunt with us, and work at our side and since all dogs are descended from Wolves and have a common anncestory--are any truly Pure breds?? These Nobel creatures Shine as an example of what People should strive to be like. Dogs love us inspite of all our faults. They greet us always with Love--every single day no matter how often we come and go. They Love Unconditionally! Seeking only LOve in return! This Particular breed was given a bad name not because of itself---but because HUMANS sought to profit from making them fighters. Would you ban roosters, or Bulls lets say etc from the country as well because humans fight them? What about children--certainly if children fight we should seek to isolate them(those that are a certain breed(Race) as the cause and take them. maybe put them to death also?? God I hope not! But did not the Germans seize Jewish children? Then Half jews, then 1/4 Jews? And so on? Look at the World today..see histroy repeating itslef once again. The Dictator in Iran, in Libya, in Venezuela, etc!! Have we npot learned we all live on the same Planet--are all human, and Need to learn to help each other?? If the law allows the family to leave with their dog--My God, what is the matter with you people?? I have Russian Wolfhounds and Weimaraners. Pure Bred Show dogs but also my constant companions-my beloved Companions, my best friends. They got me through a Brain tumor and were always and are at my side. All dogs are capable of SUCH LOVE! Its humans that Corrupt them, and this breed. HUman GREED csan corrupt anything!! Do not be Biased by human Failings, but shine bright and show Compassion! Let the owners have their dog back--and remember your humanity. I am about to go to Walt Disney World and know a few friends in higher palces in the Disney Company. Very high places(in nthe Board room) and guess what--they own dogs! Your country(Norway) is represented their. If this dog is killed or not given back--I am sure it would be frowned upon greatly. To me it would be a Tragedy and I will bring it to their attention. One owes me a Favor for saving their childs life. I know that Money sadly talks in this current society that we have as humnas have created. But one act of compassion also still speaks volumes. Let the dog live and give it back to the family so they can leave your country. Be Human and by this I mean be Compassionate--and shine in the World's eyes and God's eyes as well. Sincerely, Dr. Gregory Gomori

La majlo få komme hjem til sine eiere. Skulle nesten tro at norske politiet har noe annet å gjøre enn å anke dommen. Bruk heller tiden på det som er viktigere og ressurserne på kriminelle. Å ikke la det gå utover stakkars Majlo.Syns også at politie skal betale de utgifter som det koster å ha majlo på kennel

Dette er rett og slett for DUMT, og jeg er direkte drittflau over norsk rettvesen og politi som kan stå bak noe så komplett hjernedødt! Majlo har allerede bestått behaviourtest og er en balansert og god familiehund, hvis eiere kun har begått den feilen å ikke sjekke regelverket i Norge angående hvilke hunder som ikke er tillatt her. Det krever da virkelig ikke avliving av et uskyldig dyr, for faen! Om noe skal straffes, bør det være bøter (selvom jeg ikke synes det er nødvendig i denne saken), ikke begjæring om at hunden skal avlives. Dette fullstendige overgrepet er dyremishandling vi liksom skal være tvungne til å godta?! Det er som nevnt ikke annet enn et grovt overgrep fra norsk politi og det i seg selv burde kunne anmeldes. Jeg er FLAU over å være norsk i dette tilfellet! SKAM dere, dette skal ikke godtas!

The thought of killing a family pet simply because of the breed is outrageous, ridiculous, cruel, uncalled for, and simply unintelligent. Pit bulls can be some of the most lovable, affectionate, intelligent dogs you will ever meet. There are a few who are vicious, but all animals have that potential, regardless if they're a pit or a poodle. Also, about 99.9% of the time the owner is to blame for dogs being out of control. I pray that this poor family gets their beloved friend back, and that the 'officials' responsible for his imprisonment are punished. Thank you everybody for taking a stand agaist animal cruelty, and God bless

Release Majlo und return him back to his family instantly. So-called "law making" bureaucratics have become unbearable and downright ridiculous in the past few years - and growing worse day by day. In reality, it`s a shame just how the people of each "modern civilized" nation is now being enslaved and terrorized by nonsense laws in a way you just cannot stand any longer. Free Majlo NOW, give to his family without any cost for them - and go CHANGE YOUR LEGISLATION from utopia to real life!
