Various suggestions

From "Comment on the Draft Animal Keeping By-Law"

Go to the project

  1. I get the limited number of animals per home, but would a permit be granted where someone has rescued cats for example, and there are 7 of them in a cat-proofed garden? These cats would all have been strays running around causing a nuisance.
  2. Very happy about 11(2) where a person must show they have litter bags for picking up dog excrement. Really welcome as a proper preventative measure now.
  3. Good to see stricter requirements on working equines. I would much prefer horse-drawn vehicles to be banned from all busy roads as it is a danger. But such vehicles must carry a proper numberplate registration. The hand drawn card with the horse's name is not sufficient. Drivers and officials need to clearly see if it is a registered vehicle. In fact, they should even have a hand operated brake for steeper ascents or descents as well as horses cannot "brake" on tar roads.
  4. For section 19 where exactly does this get reported? Needs an e-mail address or is it via e-Services app? Otherwise, an e-mail to the city would be deemed "reported".
  5. Section 26 - we have to register every single dog and cat across the entire city? Where and how is this going to happen, and what sort of costs?
  6. I do wish we had similar regulations for the keeping of children...
