READERS outraged at the cruelty against dogs in North Vancouver which have been tied up and then shot’ are rushing to add their support to a reward fund started in an

attempt to nab _ the culprit.

As a result of an article in. Wednesday’s North Shore News: about a West Van- couver woman offering $200 reward for information leading to the conviction of the dog hater, eight | more readers called on Thirsday alone,. all wanting to swell the reward.

Readers are contributing amounts ranging from $25 to $100 to boost the reward being offered and_ by Thursday the reward figure had risen to $575.

They are responding to stories in the News which tell

how at least two dogs in the Marine Drive area of North Van have been tied up and then shot. .

A collie belonging to Brent Miller on Tobruck Avenue returned home with seven pellets in its head and

chest “areas, ‘prompting -its

owner to assume it must have been tied up for someone to get the op- portunity to fire at it ac- curately seven times.

Prior to that a black lab- collie cross returned to its owner's home on Philip Avenue with a pellet im- bedded in it and one of its legs severely injured where it had attempted: to Struggle free while tied up.

The reward ball started rolling when a West Van

woman. called the. News. last..

week and offered to put up $200 for information leading to the conviction of whoever was responsible for the brutality of the dogs.

All those who have since called to boost the reward have been equally horrified at the cruelty.

A woman who offered $25 attributed the deed to “someone with a very sick mind”, and said she would be happy to pay the amount upon the arrest of anyone in connection with the shootings.

One man who ‘offered $100 is neither a dog fanatic nor a North Shore resident and stressed: “I am not a dog owner but Pm just appalled that anyone would do this.”

Hide ‘those chickens

AN INFLUX of complaints against local residents with pet chickens has prompted North Vancouver | District council to enforce a bylaw banning keeping of live poultry in the municipality. Council’s action follows advice from District’s development department which recently received complaints from neighbors of households keeping chickens as common pets. Alderman Jim Ball said if the existing zoning bylaw prohibits District residents from having chickens as pets, it should be enforced: “If we don't (act on the bylaw) then we would g0 back to semi-rural com-
