Council votes to take eat bylaw a step closer
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
North Huron council has made a
decision to crack down on cats in
the township.
At the Monday night meeting,
animai control officer Bob Trick
explained the program as it works
within another municipality that he
serves. In its first year Trick picked
up 30 cats. One-third of those were
claimed, with the remainder being
euthanized at the cost of the
municipality, or taken to the
humane society.
The following year only 19 cats
were picked up.
•Cats are caught only when a
complaint has been made.
Trick cautioned council passing
this bylaw in an election year can be
bad for votes as people see it as a
cash grab. However, he added, “I
sympathize with the people haveing
problems because cats are a
problem.”
Councillor Arnold Taylor agreed
saying that something had to be
done, “whether this year, or I come
back as a citizen next year,” he
joked. “They’re a nuisance and I’m
pretty sure that years ago council sat
around this table saying dogs were a
nuisance, and should we or
shouldn’t we have a bylaw.”
Trick warned that the program
could be costly if cats are claimed.
“Is that any different than dogs?”
questioned Taylor.
“No different,” said Trick.
Councillor Murray Nesbitt,
however, said he had heard from
Bly th ratepayers that cats aren’t a
problem. A letter from a Bly th
woman commenting on that was
Steamed
Cliff Snell, right, and Rob Mason helped out in the kitchen
draining the big pots of vegetables served up during the
Blyth United Church fall supper. (Vicky Bremner phbto)
included in council’s agenda
package. She said squirrels were a
bigger problem.
Trick noted that the plan isn’t to
go out and “try to catch all the cats
I can. I try to work with the cat
owners too.”
Following Taylor’s motion to
begin setting up a bylaw, Nesbitt
stated he wanted to go on record as
believing there was no need for it.
Taylor was equally strong in his
conviction that there is. “I’m not so
sure the cats here are strays.
Owners have to be responsible to
look after their animals. We
unfortunately can’t do anything
about squirrels.”
