Killer dogs danger to deer The season's heavy snowfall in several areas of the province has aggravaîed the annual problemr of dogs chas- ing deer, says Ontario's largest provincial conservation organization. The Ontario Fedieration of Anglers and Hunters is remnindinig dog owners that deer can be killed by normally docile domnestic pets that are allowed to run free.ý In inter, deer are often severely weakened by the combinied stfresses of cold weather and. a shortage of food. They are easy prey when deep snow prevents their escape from marauding dogs. Any attempt 10 outrun the dogs is physically exhaus- ing for the deer and frequently futile. When a dog catches a deer, its attack can be savage. In fact, the pet does flot ac- tually need to catch the deer t0 kili it. Often the chase itself weakens the deer enough that i dies later. The 49,000 member On- tario Federation of Anglers and Hunters urges ail dog owners 10, confine their pets 10 minimize the harm t0 area deer. It is illegal, under the GAME AND FISH ACT, te permit~ dogs to run at large during the closed season for deer in an area in which deer are usually found. The offense carnies a fine of up to $5.000. In addition, any dog observed harassing deer can be shot on sight by ,Ministry of Natural Resources' conservation of- ficers.
