locations are planned and will com mence monday march 23rd through april 2nd the reservoir of rabies infection in ontario is in the wild life population mainly foxes and skunks where the number of these animals is large dogs and other domestic animals and man are more likely to be exposed in an area such as that strict control measures are to be enforced to prohibit dogs from running at large and coming in contact with a rabid fox or skunk local authorities are required to eliminate stray and senseless slaughter ken faulkner conservation officer dear editor recently a complaint was investigated concern ing the harrassment of jack rahbils by snowmo- bilers the area in ques tion is located south or highway 7 behind the vil lage of concord in the township of vaughan there are several open fields taking up half a concession and free of houses and fences thus allowing snowmobiles to run wild upon arrival in the area the officer discovered one of the worst massacres of wildlife he has ever en countered scattered in every direction were car casses or remains of one of the sportiest game ani mals still existing in this part of the province he jack rabbit further investigation turned up 21 butchered animals that had been run over by these powerful machines closer inspection revealed the imprints of the rub ber tracks of these ma chines imbedded in the animals the snowmobiles had chased these animals to death can snowmobiles be blamed for this useless destruction of life or the cowardly attitude of a few socalled funloving citi zens unowned dogs as they are potential means of spreading infection for vaccination to be effective at least 75 85 per cent of dog population must be vaccinated however vaccination alone will not eradicate the disease there is a per centage of dogs which do not become fully im munized when vaccinated annual vaccination of dogs and cats in rabies enzootic areas is absolutely essential no real wolves in southern ontario suggest withdrawal of death bounty by edgertoq pegg claremont rjl 2 from time to time i have read reports in local newspapers of dogs and wolves running in packs in the southern townships of ontario county i have also heard of mothers who expressed fear that wolves might attack their chil dren i would like to assure those people who are still living in the day of little red riding hood that they can safely unlock their doors and let their children go outside to play in the first place there are no wolves any nearer than algonquin park and even if there were you have nothing to fear since there is no re cord of a wolf ever having attacked anyone dogs yes but not wolves it could be well over a hund red years since the timber wolf roamed in our local ity the last one sighted in prince edward county was in 1922 coyotes however we do have these animals came into ontario from the south about the turn of the century in no way is the coyote a wolf nor will it mate with one they arc not livestock killers as some people believe sel dom taking anything larg er than a rabhjt i have been reassured of this by ranchers that i have spok en to in saskatchewan where new born calves arc

prince ed ward county were alarm ed last year when their sheep were killed sup posedly by wolves as re ported in the kingston whig standard a lab oratory was set up and 16 animals that had been shot were brought in fif teen of these were coyotes and the other was des cribed as some sort of hy brid dog autopsies were carefully performed by game wardens stomach contents of the 15 coyotes showed that nothing had been eaten other than ro dents traces of pigskin and wool were found in the dog once again prov ing that coyotes are more beneficial than harmful when brush wolves as they are sometimes called arc scarce a female may choose a dog as a mate this is where trouble be gins the offspring known as coydogs will sometimes turn to killing livestock coyotes teach their young to catch grasshop pers then rats and mice groundhogs and other ro dents in the west they help to control the des tructive gopher roadside kills provide them with carrion thus keeping our ditches and streams free from additional pollution no animal is more gentle to humans even when cornered or trapped it will not fight back but cringes in terror it is difficult to under stand why the coyote is so misunderstood and so mistreated being shot trapped poisoned snared wolves on the prowl in southern ontario dont believe it says kdgerton pegg claremont rr2 he recommends the death bounty be removed and a bounty placed on its head a news report on feb 27 lold of one being hit at least twenty times on lake simcoe by ski- doos before its battered body ceased to function a disgusting incident to say the least ten percent of farm crops in ontario are des troyed by rodents each year we arc told a news depatch from yugoslavia last year reported that more than fifty percent of the food there was eaten by rats and mice the ex planation given was that foxes and other predators had been killed off we dont want this to happen here but it will if we con tinue to give our preda tors little if any protec tion surely the lime has come when the bounty on coyotes has long outlived its usefulness and should isseseeee be removed thus allowing do a job that mankind has this beneficial animal to been unable to do do you need your income tax prepared call james a deacur cost accountant tax consultant bookkeeping services 6401988 or 9641370 line north now in stock delicious chocolate rabbits
