Landmine Dog Oath
|
The objective of establishing the non-profit Canadian
Landmine Detection Dogs Society is to purchase and train
selected dogs to detect landmines and, upon completion of
such training, provide said dogs to countries in need of
this specialized service. Indigenous peoples will be
trained to use the detection dogs to find and remove
landmines from their countries soil in order to ensure a
safe recovery of land for its designated purpose, i.e.
farming, travel, residential occupation, schooling, or
simply pleasure.

The Canadian Landmine Detection Dogs Society, through the
establishment of a Canadian centre of excellence for Mine
Detection Dogs, will provide a rapid deployment capability
for MDDs in support of international humanitarian demining.
This capacity will be
highly successful as it addresses the issue of making MDDs
available when required while allowing demining
organizations to focus on technical performance, cost and
schedule.
As a collateral benefit, it
will provide the Canadian public with a heightened
awareness of the cause of International Humanitarian
demining.
With the world facing ongoing concerns over the
proliferation of personnel landmines, we as Canadians are
faced with the hard decision as to where our financial,
intellectual and emotional resources can be best
channelled to effect the greatest good in support of this
most important cause.
