Dear Mayor Campbell and Councillors,
I has been over two years since COPE said, "COPE does not support the mistreatment of animals and would ensure animal welfare laws are in place to prevent the prolonged keeping of dogs in yards, in pens, on chains, in garages, and in other forms of isolation".
These dogs not only suffer from neglect and isolation, but society suffers as a whole for permitting such blatant cruelty to go unchecked. Victims of dog attacks, from desocialized yard dogs, suffer even more, as did Shenica White. Children die horribly and savagely every year from attacks by yard dogs.
Please prevent all this needless suffering by adding a prohibition on unattended dogs in yards to the city's other dog control bylaws.
Your name,
Your address
