Dogs Loose At Night
Sir, —Could you please tell me if it is against the law to leave a dog loose at night? If so, may I ask when the Waimairi County Council is going to do something about the many dogs that roam at liberty throughout the new subdivision off Daniels road at night? These dogs run over gardens and newly-sown lawns, and run off with anything they can find, including shoes left in a porch. Perhaps a rise in the dog registration fee might be the means of getting rid of some of these plate-licking nuisances.—Yours, etc., A NEW RESIDENT. September 20, 1964. [The chairman of the Wai mairi County Council (Mr J. I. Colligan) says: “It is an offence to allow a dog to roam at large in the county during the hours of darkness. Recently a number of owners of dogs in the Northcote area were approached concerning their dogs being permitted to roam at large, and were advised of their obligations. If the correspondent still has cause for complaint he should communicate direct with the county office.”]
