It may seem an overly
simplistic method of
dealing with the pro-

coupled with a more

realistic bylaw, it would
work.

My suggestion for a
more realistic bylaw
would be to limit only
the number of
‘‘unfixed’’ pets per
household. It then would
be reasonable to ask
those who chose to have
more than one actively

have a home with exten-
sive property, and to pay
a kennel licence. While
we are at it, perhaps it is
time to consider a limit

It might also be a good
idea for there to be an
extensive article in the
local paper explaining

the process (of neutering .

and/or spaying) as to
what a pet owner would
have to deal with, in-
sofar as their pet’s pain
(if any), and also pre-
operative, and post
operative care, so that.
there would only be the
cost of the actual pro-
cedure, for such a pro-
gram to deal with,
should it be set up.
Sometimes not. only the
cost, but simply fear of
the unknown, ¢.g. costs,
pain and pet care, can
deter many peopie from
doing what they know
needs to be done.

I might add that in the
past I have tried to be
helpful in this town in a
small way, most recently
bringing into the shelter

a sick and abandoned
mother cat with five kit-
tens, At some cost to my
husband and myself in
the nature of numerous
bites, scratches, and the
rental (refundable) of a
humane cat trap, since it
wasn’t possible for the
shelter staff to come out
at the time. Being your
average person, I would
hesitate in future, in a
similar situation, if I felt
that an unfair bylaw had
been passed through the
shelter’s suggestion,
when there were other
routes that could have
been tried, perhaps more
successfully.

Maybe someone else
out there has some -ug-
gestions for dealing with
this very difficult situa-

tion, that obviously can.

no longer be ignored.

the time to read my opi-

nions and suggestions.
