-Marauding Dogs

-Marauding dogs in the Sidney-
North Sdanich area may start
taking tranquillizers, The dosage
will bé administered by the dog
catcher with a tranquillizer rifle.

This was the essence of a
proposal received © from Ser-
geant H.D. Chambers: of.

R.C.M.P. and considered by

North Saanich council at its meet~_

ing Monday night.
_There have been a number of
complaints of marauding dogs
_ killing rabbits and sheep over
_ the past year or two but neither
the dog catcher nor the police
have been successful in catch<
ing the guilty animals or pros-
ecuting the owners.

Sgt. Chambers suggestions for
coping with the dogs and their
masters were;

1. “That the dog catcher be
approached for an immediate en~
forcement of the municipal dog
licencing by-law,

2. “That the dog catcher be
instructed to apprehend all dogs
running at large and that neces~
sary steps be taken against the
owners by way of court action
for committing this infraction

n of bad by-law.
. “That council, in co-oper~

the”

eral agreement with the plan,
Alderman G.R, Aylard suggested
a strong Heencing campaign and

Proposed putting the dog catcher

on a commission basis for the
sale of licences, -

Further discussion made it
quite clear that when a licenced
dog is caught, with or without a

tranquillizer,. the owner will be -

prosecuted and may retrieve his
dog within-a certain time. If he
does not, the dog will be dee
stroyed.
