I read with interest the letter from Mrs.
Gould, concerning her, encounter with dpgs
running at large. This raises some very
pertinent qu,estions concerning the ultimate
responsibility and I would appreciate the
opportunity to comment through the columns
your paper.
r- -GOuld's letter presents clearly ,and
forcefully the dangers inherent in having
numbers of large dogs running at large in an
urbanized community. She is fortunate not to
have suffered , any injury herself'. It is,
however, urifortunge, that her . `;charge ,pf
negligence was not .djreeted to fh`oSe directly
responsible„ namply :thple Persons who want
"the privilege df owning a dog but not the.
reponsibiltiy of Caringl:for them.
There is a.dog control by4aw in force in"tlie
Town of Seaforth and,- as Mrs. Gould states,
the police acted under that by-law and picked
•
up the dogs in question. Out of coneern for the
health of animals and the need fbr
experimental animals by provincial statutes
now make it very expensive to maintain any
full-time; ongoing, dog control opel•ation; in
fact, the necessary butisummary action taken
in this case may be in violation of theSe very st
atines. In theie circumstances it seems to me
that the council and police force have done
and are doing • all that can reasonably be
.•expected .9f them to 'control the problem of
nuisance and dangerous dogs-.
In the same issue of your paper I nOtieed
account that one of the, dogS had been picked
up by its .owner. I wonder if the provisions';Of"
the by,-law have:been carried.unt.:,and--the.-!„.,-
owner of this dog charged with allowing the
d-cf-g to run at large? If this has not btention, e by,
the police it would seem , that Mrs. Gould
would have reason to ask, "why not", and if
necessary should lay the neceSsary charge
herself.
