Objections of the Sunset Riding
Club to the North Saanich animal
control bylaw were voiced by a
delegation to Council on Monday
evening, and were supported by
Alderman Doug Boon.

Mayor J.B. Cumming said that |
it is premature to make con-
cessions, and pointed out that the
18-page bylaw (produced after
six months of study: by Council)
was adopted only last August.

But Council did agree to con-
sider. whether a horse can be
considered a recreation animal
rather than a farm animal and
therefore be not subject to some
of the restrictions in the animal
by-law.

- Sunset. Riders objected to the
limit. of two. farm animals
