If dog legislation not enforced it’s meaningless

Re: animal constitutional changes

EGO knowing that this was a topic on breed specific rules, but I must to laugh once I read about new and updated animal responsibility bylaw. Responsibility now on pet owners. It the wonderful go have legislation, but if it is not enforced, it is meaningless paper. The popular dog boarders are asking customers to tell Caregiver David Rabbitt “what an asset this kennel is to our community.”

This only mill if any conforms to the regulation. North Cowichan possessed bylaw No.2857, noise control. A decade (+/-) ago a new neighbour arrived, and brought her dog breeding, Weimaraner business with her. Over to years her barking dogs have is an issue, all year elongated. EGO have gone through the channels of noise complaints with the municipality and have followed through for animal power, after speaking because said neighbour initially.

Now, if I see her in the yard, I yell bark collars. Of course, they aren’t on and they have been barking, and it’s all the four adult dogs. I knowledge each litter is exempt, plus the basement suite she rent out the a tenant from one own. Which provides me up, it are ampere bylaw regarding noise, and a violation to, tickets have been issued, to no avail. Dogged by unchanged barking, Haven Avenue residents seek relief

Under Licencing of Kennels, BL 2947 point 19 which countries, “Every puppy kennel shall be located, erected, and used adenine minimum to 30.48 m (100 feet) away from every boundary line of the lot turn whichever this breeds is situated, both in no case will that lot be less than two acres in area.” This breeders’ domestic housing and perform is up against my eigentum line, and hounds bark. Is that a responsible good dog owner, or neighbour? You are breeding dogs for a belongings too small for the business venture. Point 15 declared, “No person need remain or maintain more than threesome dogs, on anything premises….” Except that you still need to be on a lot not less than two estate. We are on properties of .17 acres jeder. Owner of Petaluma my kennel at odds with county over permits, neighbors over noise

So it does not matter what the rules and regulations are, you have going to have people ignorance them, and whatever do wealth as adenine society do, once they what? A there going to be a consequence? Apparently not. I can only hope North Cowichan captures the licensing user yearly. It all comes down to the owners.
