ABCA fines five dog owners for dogs off leash
Lakeshore Advance
Ausable Hayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA) fined five dog owners in
April for having their dogs off leashes on
the multi -use South Iiuron'Ihail in Exeter.
The owners each received $75 fines.
ABCA protects people and animals on
its trails and lands by requiring dogs to be
on leashes. Any individual who engages in
prohibited uses of trails or conservation
lands faces fines and could lose permis-
sion to access the trail or properties in the
future. The legislation applies to all land
owned or managedby the ABCA.
Trail patrol officers with the conserva-
tion authority laid five Trespass ass to Property
Act charges during the month for five dog
owners charged with engaging in the
prohibited activity of having a dog off their
leash at Morrison Dain Conservation Area.
The five people facing fines are all resi-
dents of the watershed or live in areas adja-
cent to the watershed.
Most users of ABCA lands and trails are
responsibly keeping their dogs on leashes,
according to Kate Monk, Supervisor of
Stewardship and Conservation Lands.
There are a few, however, who have not
followed the rules and charges were
required to keep the trail safe for user&
"Regardless of the size or personality of
a dog, it has to be on a leash, according to
provincial and local legislation," Monk
said. "Requiring leashes ensures the safety
of people on the trail, protects the dogs
from other dogs and other animals, and
protects wildlife from dogs."
The Friends of the South Huron 'frail
volunteer committee agreed, at its late
2010 meeting, that dogs running off leash
is the biggest pmblem on the popular trail.
"Signs are posted at each entrance to the
trails advising that dogs must be on
leashes. This applies regardless of whether
other people are present at the time," said
Monk. "We have also educated trail users
over the past six years about the permitted
and prohibited uses of the trails"
Keeping a dog on a leash may be a small
inconvenience for a pet owner and their
dog but this courteous act respects the
safety and enjoyment of the people and
animals on the multi -use lands - and can
save the pet owner from a fine. "Keeping
your dog on a leash can also save you from
a charge, a costly tine, or from losing the
privilege to use the beautiful conservation
lands;' Monk said.
