J and neutering

A new bylaw will be
aimed at curbing the

number of stray cats on
the North Shore.

Councillors Barbara Sharp
and) Barbara Perrauft: raised
the issue of reducing the
number of unowned cats at
large in North Vancouver, and
received the unanimous sup-
port of council on Dec. 14.

Sharp told) council the
new bylaw will require cat
owners to register their pets
with the city, and that spay-
ing and neutering the ani-
mals would relieve the cost of
cuthanizing the city’s large,
unwanted and unowned feral
cat population.

“This is a very caring way
to look after animals that can’t
speak for themselves,” she
said. “I love animals, I have
two cats and if'we ever reach a
point in time when overpopu-
lation of cats is nota problem,
we can revisit: this... it’s
dreadful to think these crea-
tures are put co sleep because
no one cared for them.”

Perrault agreed — with
Sharp. She said a new bylaw
— similar to the one in Surrey
— would help prevent cats
from being abused or negleet-
ed.

“There is no such thing as
a bad animal, but there are
irresponsible owners,” she
remarked. “There's simply
not enough homes to accom-
modate all of these sweet, Hit-
tle kittens.”

duct an information report tor
council to consider before
drafting the new bylaw,

No date has been set as to
when the proposed bylaw will
come before council for dis-
cussion and ratification. In an
unrelated matter, council also
voted in favour of holding a
second putstic mecting to dis-
cuss an amendment to the
new Pet Regulation Bylaw.

The amendment deais
specifically with zoning, in
that any new pet stores that
wish ro establish themselves in
the city will be prohibited
from selling amphibians and
reptiles.

Pet retailers currently
operating ia North Vancouver
will not be affected by the
new bylaw.

The city has been inundat-
ed with numerous requests
from the public to speak on
the issue.

A public meeting will be
held at city hall on Jan. 18,
1999, with an exact dme to
be announced ata later date.
