UPDATE July 26th 2012, 11:15AM - Last night protest were held. Supporters continue to email and petition. There is no news as to what today may bring. Chris will be able to see Wicca today.
UPDATE July 25th 2012 7:25PM - The city of Montreal has refused to listen to any common sense. Despite all efforts, they have deemed Wicca unsafe, and she is to be killed by the Berger Blanc. Pierre Couture, owner of the Berger Blanc is refusing to euthanize her and will be part of a protest being held tonight, in Montreal at 405, Ogilvy avenue. Wicca is still alive!!
UPDATE July 24th 2012, 8:45PM - Here is the segment Montreal's CTV News ran on the 6:00PM segment - http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.891837
UPDATE July 24th 2012, 5:05PM - Wicca is at the Berger Blanc pound in Montreal, which is an absolutely horrible place for her to be. Chris will be on CTV news in Montreal on tonight's 6PM and 11PM news. I don't know if Wicca can still be saved, but we must try! Also, according to the city of Montreal, Wicca DID bite the paramedic that went on scene. Chris received 2 fines for the bites alone. The fines he received should be enough, don't you think? Killing her is just plain cruel.
UPDATE 8:42PM - Recent information in regards to Wicca has been brought to my attention. I feel that myself, and all of those pulling together for Wicca may have not been given full details, or a lack of information as to the circumstances surrounding this case. It's unfortunate, as it seems again, Wicca is the one suffering. I have signed the petition, and written to the mayor.
What actually happened seems to be a bit of a mystery. I leave it to you to decide. I do believe that Wicca DID bite that woman, and she DID lunge at the paramedic (although did not harm him). She did not do much damage - As you can see here:
Even if she didn't do a lot of damage, the point is that she did do some. I strongly believe that had Wicca been a Shepherd, or a Golden, then she would have been spared. However, she's an Amstaff, and for that reason, she's paying the price of BSL. I hope that she can be saved. Wicca needs to be fully assessed, and perhaps some training would be in her best interest.
Here's the full article from when it happened:

UPDATE: 7:42PM - Chris's lawyers are trying to see if they can appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Wicca is to be killed within the next 48 hours.
Wicca is currently at the Berger Blanc in Montreal, which is an absolutely horrible pound. The Berger Blanc is one of the worse places for any animal to end up. Wicca is to be killed. Chris' appeal was denied.
We MUST do what we can to save her!! We MUST try all venues! This one is so close to home for me. I'm only 40 minutes from Montreal, and I am appalled that this is happening!!
A small bit of information in regards to this situation. On several occasions Chris requested the courts have the dog assessed, and every time they refused. Wicca was spooked by a woman who approached her while she was laying down, and Wicca grazed the woman's stomach. This could have been ANY dog. Any dog can be spooked. Wicca has not been given a chance.

*****PLease, I know that BSL makes people very emotional. But death threats, rudeness and swearing, will not aid Wicca in any way. Please remain civil if you write to any of the above.****
This is all I have right now. Trying to work fast.
