named cu cullaln after an irish legend mr ryan said the irish wolfhound breed is the biggest type of dog in the world and with the large open mouth he has noone is going to argue tara kennels operator matters of economic growth thatmay have been the approach in days pa but it is un workable under current legislation takefor example large economic developments a com pany can no longer ciply go into an area and build whatever is proposed to be built instead the company must submit detailed proposals on the prac ticality of such a project and follow carefully the guides in such acts as the ontario water resources v act the pesticides act or the environmental protection act to the companies such legislation may be is the process which mr justice hartt will follow in the reid paper company situation to build a huge pulp and paper development in northwestern ontario the recent throne speech commits your ontario government to check and undertake greater research into use of hazardous

animals is aware of the ever con stant threat of an out break of rabies and of the harm it can cause to animals and humans alike and unfortunately for james ryan of tara kennels on the gormley sideroad he has to deal once again with the threat following the discovery of arabid cat in unionville the cat was brought to mr ryan who has a i quarantine section for suspected rabid animals last week after the cat had bitten the owner his wife and their dog the cat died last friday and its brain wasisenfaway for analysis which proved that it was rabid the dog isstill in quarantine and mr ryan expects that it too is rabid wedont knowiwhat started it mr ryan commented although there has been a dead fox that was rabid found in the area the carleton rd subdivision vmf ryan is asking dog owners to not let the dog outside on its own he said that if someone is with a dog that is bitten then at least the dog can be checked out for rabies before it is too late the symptoms ofr rabies sometimes take a longtime and if no one- has seen a dog being bitten then there is no way they can have the- dog checked this is a veryseribus situation we have in unionville and it can spread rapidly unless the have protection in the form of rabief shots un- fortunately ithoughthe shots only give about 90 percent protection there is no 100 per cent one in most cases this is suf- ccienti biit that rabid cat had its shots so you can never be sure he said besides trying to curb the spread of rabies mr ryan who has run the kennel for 16 years s also offers many other animal services v vjione of the most benef icier- vof vliis programs and one he has v organized himself is the 24 hour accident pickup service j i jf mr ryan explained the service by pointing out that in the past whenever an animal was hit by a car the police had ao choice but to shoot it nowihoweverjwhenever ah 1 accident occurs r the police will call mr ryan who will pick up the h some peoples intentions can do more harm than good a dog was hit by a car and the dog suffered a broken back in a case like that there is no way we can save the dog he has to be put to sleep but what happened was the found then mr ryan will man who hit the dog tried foot the bill he also said to remove it and the dog jured animal and take it to the clinic in stouffville or thornhill the people who run the clinic in stouffville are the only ones who will get out of bed at night to help injured animals mr ryan commented if the owner isnt that when the program first started a few years ago he averaged about one call every two weeks with over half of the owners unlocated now however the calls are far more often because there are more people in the area faster cars and faster highways however when an owner does care enough for his pet to get it back from jmrryan the thrill of seeing i the reunion is all the payment i need i feel that saving the animal was really worth it and thats a good bit him so the man took off in his car but another man following him also stoppedtried to remove the dog and was also bitten weve got the dog but now we have to hold him in isolation for 14 daystosee if he has rabies the- dog is in agony from his broken back and there is nothing we can do if either man would have called us none of this would have hap pened- mr ryan pointed out that this was an isolated incident and thatfor the mostpartpeople in the area are good pet owners feelingy returning the serious problem of rabies mrv however ryan who was once bitten on by a rabid cat stated that lhow k nermn could his rabie isolation unit has been set up for i the health department and that any animal that bites how a person could become a better pet owner he commented that- before anyone gets a mat any animal nat dites v tn shoul an a human is isolated for 14 spert on just what days the types of animals in the unit vary from mice to horses to skunks l foxes and dogs and catsv one area that mr ryan would like to see corrected is in the misdirected intentions of some people who try to help injured animals he said that anyone coming owning means on a pet really novelty of a dog wears off when he grows up and doesnt get the care he has beeri- getting peoples intentions are good regarding animals but many animals are dead on the roads today from good intentions that have never been carried out one way to help aleviate the situation is education mr ryan said he used to visit schools and lecture children on pet care and he believes that every school should have a pet care and control class another area of concern is people who buy animals as christmas or easter gifts mr ryan firmly believes this should not be done since afterthe pet isgrownup the people dont know what to do with it and often just get ridof it j tj5 pk when s asked what some of his moreumisual calls to help animals have been mr ryan said that he once had a call from a man regarding a cat that was crying from inside the wall of his house we think we got there through the- attic the- caf was in the kitchen wall which we had to open up to get it we think he got there through the attic another time we were called at two in the morning to get rrid of two racoons that were wrecking a mans bedroom 4 where were you on may 23 18 w of a new suited markhams leader over 30 year 5 year workmanship guarantee monthly payments no extra
