Amid the eathusiasm of bringing up a new pet as a good member of the household, it is easy to forget the duty of bringing up the pet 23 a good neighbour. Responsible pet owners recognize that the more insidious problem ia uncontrolled procreation. There’s little doubt that there is a serious over-population of pnwanted and uncared-for pets. The unexpected litter, the stray at the back door, and figures from humane gocieties on the numbers of animals put to sleep ‘each year ail testify in their different ways to the sad excess of domestic pets. " Spaying and neutering are not only pragmatic steps toward the control of the pet population, but they also actually benefit the animal, “Neutering your dog is truly responsible con- tribution towards reducing the problem," says Dr. Michael Fox, noted animal psychologist, veterinarian, and author of two pet care handbooks available free eae Ee from. the maker of Ken-L, Ration and Puss’n Boots pet foods. “Neutering a male dog eliminates future prostrate ‘problems and spaying a female eliminates future - problems of her reproductive system and reduces chances of mammary tumors.” Some female fogs if they are not bred when they come into heat will actually go into a false pregrancy, Dr. Fox points out. “They may look pregnant and will behave protec- tively towards a favorite toy or “adopted "slipper. Some dogs will even go through false labour.” “This psychological distress," says Dr. Fox,” is best prevented by having the bitch spayed.” * In the case of cats, neutering a male before sexual maturity will reduce his urge to roam and he will also pe Jens likely to spray the home with his territorial “Sometimes femate cats will cry maddeningly and glaw to get out during their violent heat periods,” ys Dr. Fox. “Spaying them will make life easier for them and for you.” Bealdes the problema of fouling public property and wnwanted procreation, peta can also offend by damaging property or person and by disturbing the peace. Dam other Je’s property can mean digging “holes in lawns. se favourite flower beds, chewing fence posts or young trees, or—perhaps the moat common of all--breaking into garbage cans and age bags. The solution: don't let the pet run free- er, Remember, this is ag much for the pet's good as fhe neighbour's, for the animal can root out old bones which can splinter, or can accidently eat decayed food which has turned poleonous, or even small splinters of Gass which will damage the intestines. “Much the same applies to cats, tnougn they do not offend in as many ways as dogs. “Don't allow them to foam free,"advises Dr. Fox, ‘They may get injured or killed by cats, other animals, or automeb iles.. Yearly, it’s unneighbourly not to restrain vour cat. ‘ & cat that roams and wanders might, for example, free to use a child's playtime sandbox as a giant fiver box~an act no relghbour will appreciate. ' Finally, don't allow a dog to bark unnecessarily and disturb the peace of the neighbourhoodjonce or twice t a passing stranger or another animal is natural, but frise barking peraists, the dog must be checked. "A responsible owner trains his dog not to bark mcessively (one of the most common nuisance fomplainta in residential areas.) Nor does he let his dog urinate on someone's lawn or sidewalk trees because it will kill grass and young trees and shrubs," Dr. Fox points out. ‘lobbying for a ferry despite a disappointing response from Transportation Minister Alex Fraser. In a letter to council discussed at the meeting, Fraser said funding for ferry services is allocated to . provide transportation for people in areas not con- nected to the mainland by 1 way. fair sha “ ayer money @ spent and a 8 will continue to be spent on the upgrading and maln- tenance of highways in the northwest but I must make it clear that the major investment in highway, port and ferry service that is contemplated by uour council, must be.considered within the framework of available funding and its priority as compared with other major deveopment projects elsewhere in the ‘province,”’ the minister sald, Council members unanimously described the minister's decision as ‘political’, Alderman Fran Buschert said there was no point in writing any more letters to the minister because the district does not have a member on the government side of the house. Alderman Ron Burnett said Kitimat residents can’t | use the one. available ferry service from Prince Rupert to Vancouver Island during the tourist season because of heavy booking. - “The government has found $25 M for a stadium to built somewhere In B.C. but expects us to put up with inadequate service,’ Burnette said. . Council members decided-to write to the minister and ask him to recognize highway 25 as an extension of highway 37 and Include a ferry terminal at Kitimat in the department of transportation's long range plans. Mayor George Thom, however, commented that he didn’t believe the ministry has any long range plans. “}'ve never seen any,"Thom said, In other business, council adopted twa development permit by-laws providing for changes in the municipal code to authorize issuance of development permits in designated areas. Council also passed a by-law exempting the Lions Club foster home and Radley Park lands from . municipal taxes.
