Grand Bend council engaged in
a long discussion on the dog
problem at a regular Meeting
Monday night but failed to come
up with any solution,
While the problem of dogs
running at large has been
prevalent for some time the
situation became acute. two
weeks ago when a fox was shot in
Gibbs Park and it proved to be
rabid.
Deputy-Reeve Bob Simpson
who is in charge of the animal
control committee said he has
been told by Canada Department
of Agriculture officials that
"there is a high content of rabid
foxes in the area of the Pinery
Park and they are coming into
the urban areas looking for
food."
Simpson continued, "Our
problem here really isn't dogs,
it's people. We have warned
everybody that the probability of
local pets running at large
becoming rabid is very high but
they haven't done anything about
it. Most of the dogs in Grand Bend
belong to somebody."
Council members were very
FIRE KILLS!
FRilarifYAE:
Times-Advocate, February 24, 1977 Page 15
`Problem is people . . not dogs'
critical of the service provided by
the London Humane Society now
operating once weekly patrols in
the village under a contract,
Councillor Bill Uniac said,
"They caught only one dog all
last year" and councillor Harold
Green added, "so far this year it
has cost us $400 a dog."
Reeve Bob Sharen suggested
terminating the contract now
because of non-performance but
Simpson replied, "I don't
disagree with that, but, what do
we do?"
On the subject of a dog catcher,
Simpson said, "It can't be a local
resident or if it is, he can't expect
to live very long. He would be
persecuted. Pets are very im-
portant to. people. The respon-
sibility has to be on the owner of
the pet, They've been told rabies
is here."
Grand Bend resident Mike
Casey sat in on the dog discussion
and said he was distrubed with
the news story from council that
stray dogs would be shot and
demonstrated use of a catch pole
to apprehend the animals.
Reeve Bob Sharen said the
main reason in releasing the
story was to "let our people know
how serious the matter is, but
nobody paid attention."
Questioned by council as to
where the dogs would be kept
