County urged to re-instate fox bounty BY BOB MURPHY Tuckersmith Township Reeve Bob Bell has suggested that consideration be given to re-instat ing the bounty on foxes in Huron County. Mr. Bell made the suggestion Nov. 6 at the regular November session of Huron County Council. During a report from the Huron County Board of Health, Mr. Bell asked the board chairman, Turn berry Township Reeve Brian Mc- Burney, if health or other officials had considered the re-introduction of the fox bounty. Mr. Bell said the fox population was “extremely high’’ in the southern portion of the county. Foxes “were as thick as jackrab bits,’ ’ he said. His interest was also “personal’’, Mr. Bell said, be cause quarantine conditions had recently been placed on his own farm. Since it is widely considered that foxes are a primary carrier of rabies, Mr. Bell said the fox bounty could be considered as an effective means of control. Although he was unaware of any plan to re-instate the bounty, Mr. McBurney agreed the fox popula tion had become a problem. “I’ve been told that 75 per cent of the foxes being trapped in the north of the county are rabid,” he added. The fox bounty discussion rose from the board’s report on compul- sory rabies vaccination programs. For a time, it was thought the board of health must pass a bylaw for the rabies vaccination program, but that is not the case, Mr. McBurney said. The board needs only to write a letter to the Ontario Ministry of Health requesting that the Huron County Health Unit be included in the program. The board, at its last meeting, decided to forward the letter requesting that the health unit be included in the program - under the covering regulation in the Health Protection and Promotion Act - effective Jan. 2, 1987, the report said. Animals to be included in the compulsory vaccination program are: horses in public recreation as well as those which will have direct contact with the public, petting zoo animalsandcatsanddogs. Also included are animals considered susceptible to rabies and for which United Church news made for the health unit toTiave the immunization clinics for cats and an appropriate vaccine is avail able. The board of health report said dogs available when the regulation arrangements have already been comes into effect.
