BIRDS AND BEES BY-LAW

North Saanich Council con-
chided discussion Monday (at
second reading) of a proposed
new animal control by-law with
the suggestion that some form of
hearing be held to allow area
residents to state their views.

The proposed by-law is a
complete re-structuring of the
District's approach to the

keeping of animals in residential

areas, and; in-its present: form
includes all ‘classes of animals
(including dogs, cats and farm
animals) on the same basis.

For purposes of determining
density, each class of animal is
assigned a unit factor - and an
upper jiimit established on the
total number of units per parcel
of land.

Debate on the by-law centered
on Alderman George Aylard’s
contention that dogs and cats
should be considered separately
from farm animals for. purposes

of density.

As it now stands the by-law
would allow up to 12 animal units
per half acre parcel, and
(although this section is_ still
somewhat obscure) a maximum
of 48 animal units on parcels over
four acres.

Dogs would be considered five
animal units, cats would count as
two units, pigeons as one and a
hive of bees the same. Similar
counts are applied to several
other specific categories.

One departure from the old by-
Jaw would be the ajlowing of one
bantam rooster on residentially
zoned. parcels..- eliciting the
comment from Alderman Aylard
that bantams can make just as
much noise as full-sized roosters,
and encouraging Alderman Boon
to give his fellow.Councillors a
short explanation of the purpose
of a rooster. relative to a flock of
chickens.

Photographer Dane Campbell, who left Sidney in June, has in-
terrupted his planned cruise to the Queen Charlotte Islands to accept a
job with the Fisheries Department. He is now counting fish, checking
. fishing boundaries and filing weekly reports from Larado Inlet.

Gren Bill has almost completed his sailing lessons and is about to
“join the several hundred other Peninsula People who spend their spare
hours dreaming about schooner sailings to the South Seas.

- WORRIED OWNER Wendy. “MacGillivray now keeps, her red ‘setter + Finnegan tied up, after
recent t attempts’ to steal the valuable dog. :

Owners of dogs. particularly
valuable ones, are warned to be
on the lookout for ‘‘dognappers’’
operating on the Peninsuia.

Last week, two known attempts
_ were made to snatch “Finnegan”
a friendly, 18-month-old red
setter while he was running ‘free
near his home at 1975 McTavish.

His owners, Alan and Wendy
MacGillivray were away at the
time but neighbours — reported
seeing a man with a ‘car at-
tempting to lure Finnegan into
the back seat.

Within the same week, the dog
was seen being chased in a field
by a girl and two men, one of
whom. was middle-aged and
“presumably not running ‘about

the meadow for the fun of it.

Although obedience-trained,
Finnegan. apparently sensed
danger and easily stayed, out of
reach, :
“But he is usually friendly and
now we are keeping him tied up
all. the time,’’. says Wendy
MacGillivray. The. young couple
plan te build their setter a run to
provide a-bit more freedom.

North Saanich animal con-
troller: Colin Nelthorpe sounded
an alarm several days ago when
he said he had received calls
from. people whose dogs: are
mysteriously missing.

One strange case occurred
recently when a North Saanich
dog complete with license was
returned by youths who said they
found it on Salt. Spring. ‘No dog
travels on the ferry by itself...

“Tf you see anyone enticing an
animal into a car, ask for their
