In recent report submitted by the Ontario Wallaceburg canine control officer it was noted that of 59 dogs cap lured during onemonth period only three were claimed either by the own ers or interested persons Does it not seem strange that Wale laceburg residents would allow 56 dogs to be destroyed in one month Certain ly the fact seems astounding especially for town the size of Wallaceburg the local weekly newspaper commented No disrespect is intended for the dog control officer who is only carrying out his orders and putting the dogs away as painlessly as possible The number of dogs picked up would indicate that many owners have not pur chased dog tags for their pets or that the animals have been orphans since birth and running loose for some time People who do not purchase dog tags do not deserve to own dogs as disregard for the law in that event could mean the end of dogs life The dog pound inWallacehurg is not very large and can only hold certain number of dogs at one time Also it is quit xpensive to keep dogs over an exte period The dogs can only be kept at the pound for three days If they are not hourly base rate of workers rose by 150 period endlngJune 50 1968 The

pound gt Some owners must feel it is not un usual for their animals to take holiday for few days and that theywill always return home eventually Unfortunately such is not alwaysthe case People who plan to purchase dog for the family should take look at the dog pound before going to pet store One individual who visited the dog pound this summer saw small pup which was to be destroyedihe nextday because no one had come to claim him and the wait iing period had extended past three sys That person invested $5 in the pup to save him from the gas chamber and later on found home for the dog It turned out that the animal was valuable black and tandeerhound The dog was sent north to hunt with pack of his own kind where he would be well cared for and valuable to some one as hunting companion

KILL PEOPLE Guelph Mercury pet slogan of those who oppose firearmscontrol legislation is that guns dont kill people people kill people The obvious indication is that gun is deadly weapon only if some human being deliberately intends it to be That line of reasoning then leads con trol fees to another of their favorite arguments If firearms are to be sub jected to regulation for safetys sake the same ought to be required for base ball bats kmves lead pipes hammers or any other ordinary object that migh be used as dangerous instrument IT HAPPENED lN CANADA Thrashersnosiiubvscuunvicusnnus
