Pgs for that, but just as obviously something needs to be

During my inquiries into the existing laws which opply
af this ‘situation | talked with Mrs.-P. Moore, proprietor
me the Kalum Kennels, who has been actively involved in

aciously supplied the following information.
“Thornhill being an unorganized area, provincial laws
mevail where dogs are concerned, Licences can be obtained
mpm the government office at a cost of $2.00 for unspayed
Maemales, and $1.00: for all males or spayed females. The
mane R.C\M.P: do not, in the case of Thornhill, issue these
mences, 4
“Those persons interested in obtaining information on,
improvement in the enforcement of existing laws should
mentact the Department of Agriculture of the provincial
mevernment in Victoria, | : sO :
§ “Under existing law, it is permissable for anyone to
BAoot a dog which is causing damage or liable to do so. As
mn be seen from this, it is therefore.risking one’s dog's
fe, possibly injured or killed, by allowing it to stray or
nder off the owners property. a
y “This is the basic cause of the problem which Thorn-.
hill is experiencing. Owners are not controlling their dogs
nd more and more people are moving ‘into the area. ;
“It is far fess cruel to secure a dog to @ running chain
or to exercise it, if only briefly, than to allow it to wander a
ill and risk being injured, lost or poisoned. -
: “It is also a backward and uncivilized attitude to allow
gone's dog to annoy other people to such an extent that the

dogs and even people who do can be annoyed and frustrated

7 According to Mrs. Moore, if a chapter of the S.P.C.A,
were established in Thornhill. with a minimum of 40: mem-
bers, the parent organization would assist financially in
Mestablishing a dog shelter and inspector in the area. Owners
mof dogs and other animals would be informed, of their re-
Bsponsibilities to their. animals and effective contro! would
be enforced,

A chapter of the S.P.C.A,.in Thornhill would be worth
considering as a solution to the present situation but the
onus must. still be on those who own pets and do not seem
Bto care where they are or what they are doing. It must be
their responsibiilty to maintain control over them at all
times, '
