The Spiteri Family
Sign Now
We the undersigned implore the Caledon, Ontario Committee Of Adjustments to find in favor of the Spiteri Family in housing Emily (their miniature pony) on their property who has been living on the property within the community of Caledon for the last three years. We urge them to show Empathy and Compassion for the family and understand the reasons for Emily residing on said property is solely for the benefit of Sam who resides at the family home (on said property).
Sam is diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy and has been using Emily for therapeutic purpose for the last 3 years. The pony is a help animal for a child with a disability. Just as guide dogs are allowed in public places restricted to other dogs, the Spiteris pony should be allowed to stay on their property. This is not just the beloved pet of a small child the pony is required for Sams therapy for cerebral palsy.
The pony has therapeutic use. It is not livestock in the true sense of the word. It is not being reared in an agricultural setting to make food or fiber or perform labour for sustenance or material profit. It is a help animal. It is a friend for Sam and a therapy for his disability. The bylaw should not apply.

I can not believe that someone (you know who you are) would actually have a 3 year old boy's pony taken away from him. What does that say to us as a society!!! That a little boy who has the pony for therapy reason's. How low can a person go on this matter

The same exceptions that allow guide dogs into places where animals are not normally allowed should apply here as well.
