Burnaby's anti-tethering bylaw: AAS presents its report *LINK* *PIC*
WHAT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ADDRESSES
The proposed bylaw would limit the time to one hour a day that a dog can be tethered “unattended”.
WHAT IT MISSES
An hour of noise and aggressive behaviour by an “unattended” dog is still going to be a public nuisance, especially if “unattended” means that no one needs even be on the property. And tethering is still permitted 24 hours a day as long as it is “attended” in some way. This proposal still allows car-lot dogs to be chained all day as there will always be salesmen in “attendance”.
But most importantly, this report misses the much larger issue of “yard dogs” in general.
