Animal Control Bylaw Given Final Approval

Monday, September 19, 2005 08:31 PM

Its a done deal ,and yes, the "pound keeper" will have the authority to impound your cat if the cat is "at large".

Councilor's Sethen and Rogers stuck with their original stance on thematter, and opposed the final reading of the bylaw, but that wasn't enough to stop it.

Council has approved the new animal control bylaw which labels some breeds as restricted animals, and has new rules concerning animals considered "dangerous."

The bylaw was developed following concerns about pit bulls, and pit bull cross breeds. While there are some who agree with the intent of the bylaw, there are others who believe the bylaw is descriminatory.

I say it is about time this happened. According to the stats, 47% of the pit bulls in the city have bitten someone. Anyone that would want an animal like that should have their head examined. Can you imagine the terror a person, and especially a small child, would experience while having their face ripped off by one of these things?
