GODERICH - A Goderich
man has approached Goderich
town council about placing re-
strictions on the ownership of pit
bulls within the town.
In a letter to council, Goderich
resident Brian Petrie wrote that 1
he had been terrified by a neigh-
bour's pit bull which had won-
dered onto his property, barking
fiercely at his caged pet rabbit.
When an attempt was made to
chase the dog away, Petrie said
it lunged at him baring its teeth.
Christina Schwaab, the town's
bylaw officer, reported that the
dog's owner has been fined sev-
eral times for allowing the ani-
mal to run off its leash. A court
order has been issued which will
see the dog destroyed the next
time the animal is loose.
At present time,vinciaL -
Dog Owners Liability Act of
1980 has no provision for deem-
ing an animal vicious. The Ad-
ministration and Personnel Com-
mittee is currently reviewing the
situation, in hopes of finding a
way to incorporate the term vi-
cious" into the town bylaws.
