RECENT STUDIES by American and British scientists
has concluded tha: keuse cats have a great impact on
the bird and small animai populations of their respective
countries. From the numbers in the two studies,
Canada’s five million domestic cats may kill between 42
million and 70 million wild birds and rodents each year.

Near Melbourne, Australia, a community has imposed
that country’s first curfew on cats. According to the
curfew, cat-owners must lock up their felines from 8
p.m. to 6 a.m. or face 2 $90 fine. Other communities in
America have required cat owners to put bells on their
little fricnds to scare off prospective prey.

Should cats be deterred from hunting birds and other smail animals?

NV City lot saved for the birds

Pemberton Heights area sanctuary

A WOCDED lot at 20th Street and MacKay Avenue in
the Pernberion Heights area will remain as a sanctuary for
wildlife after North Vancouver City
Council decided Monday night to designate the city-owned

council heard from more than a
half-dozen area residents in sup-
port of the designation.

Residents told council! how the
wooded area was a nesting ground
for migratory birds and a safe
place for small wild animals such
as racoons and squirrels.

“tes a little enclave,’ area res-
ident Jan Bryant told the News
after council's decision, ‘‘and
that's why we bought there ~-
because of the trees.""
