Stray dogs
Sir, —We have some strange by-laws. We have had to demolish a bantam house because it was within 10 feet of the boundary, yet 100 ft from the nearest dwelling. Our pet lamb had to go because it was classified as stock. Neither of these pets could roam, soil, or spoil neighbouring or public properties, yet dogs do this every day. Could someone please explain to me why dogs are not classified as stock. On a farm we build stables, cowsheds, and kennels, and the animals are exercised and cared for on the owner’s property. Would it not be more reasonable to disallow the keeping of animals and fowls in flats or on commercial properties or sections of less than a certain size. This would at least cut down the animal population and pollution, in the built-up areas. — Yours, etc., ONE SOLUTION. October 9, 1974.
