A coalition involving some big names in the local legal world is joining the SPCAs legal fight against Montreal's pitbull ban.
The Coalition to Promote the Safety of People and Canines brings together veterinarians, animal behaviour specialists and others — and has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the legal challenge.
Well-known Montreal lawyers Anne-France Goldwater and Julius Grey are part of the coalition.
Last week, a judge lifted a suspension of the pitbull ban, which means the ban is back in effect.
The coalition will make its case before a judge on Dec.14th.
The full case, on the substance of the city of Montreal's bylaw, will be heard at a later date.
