Letter: Goodbye Tyson
Published on October 06, 2015
Tyson, although you did not come to us as a puppy, you have made a lot of acquaintances and found a way to warm the hearts of those who knew you.
However, Tyson, you have become a bit of a nuisance because you do not conform to the Animal Control By-Laws of the Municipality of Kings. You do understand many words that relate to the repetitive things that you enjoy. You didn't know that when you are on the back of the truck going for your doughnut and coffee at Timmie's that you are breaking the law as well. We know it's not the coffee that you like, it's the “DBL DBL”.
But, Tyson, you did not learn to read. You did not know that when you stepped across the farm property to join the kids in a bordering subdivision or to rest on a neighbour's soft and well-manicured lawn, you were breaking the bylaw rules.
I'm also sure that you did not know that if you weren't registered with the municipality by the first month in January for your $10 dog tag you could end up in a court case. Now the judge, two lawyers representing the municipality, security, municipal staff - along with several witnesses - all know of your misdoings. Tyson, not to worry about your registration, as you were registered before the expiry of the year and are part of the Kings County statistics. Your fine for not having a dog registration was also paid in the amount of $237. I'm sure if you had realized the cost to the taxpayers of the county for your lack of consideration that you would be very remorseful and want to compensate for the court costs that you incurred.
You also did not realize that being a dog restricted your boundary lines to your owners’ property. Although you were brought here as a watch dog, and your obligation was to protect the property from the break-ins and thefts that have become common place on the street, you cannot bark. Even when you did not bark, you were accused of barking. None of this is your fault. You only wanted to be everyone's friend.
Tyson, when you were taken to the SPCA a few months ago, we bailed you out at a cost of $40 for overnight lodging and a vaccination. We did not ask if that included breakfast. We gladly paid the fine and brought you home. However, the fee has now been increased by 50 per cent and your owner is not willing to bail you out again at the cost of $60, and this didn't include an overnight stay.
We now feel that you have become a target and wherever you go and whatever you do, you are now a liability that we cannot endure. We were willing to come immediately to pick you up, but we cannot continue to pay the fines and fees.
Because you are a big, 125-pound, senior German shepherd, you are costly to maintain and the chances of finding you a replacement home where you can roam and have the pleasures you had with us are slim, and we feel badly that your best interests are not considered. We have accepted your consequences and realize that the chances of you ending up in “doggie heaven” in the near future are very high and maybe that is for the best. 
You are now a commodity and if the SPCA can find you a home, you have a value to their treasury of $300.

GOODBYE TYSON-

Is SPCA really non-profit?
Being an advocate of animal protection and fairness, I had an encounter with the Kings branch of the SPCA when my dog was impounded for crossing the property border.
An hour after the dog was taken to the SPCA, I was willing to claim him immediately. However, the SPCA charged an impoundment fee of $75, plus $25 for each day he was held. I questioned such a fee for so little involvement and found that under the municipal bylaw, the impoundment fee is $35 and $5 for each day while at the facility. The SPCA may keep the animal for three days and then it becomes property of the SPCA and they have the right to either euthanize the animal or sell him, which is another $300 bonus for the SPCA.
This was a little unsettling, so I tried to delve into the cost of the contract that the SPCA has with the Municipality of Kings, only to be told that the information was not accessible to the public. In fact, my elected representative was unable to get the information.
I also tried to find out if the additional fees charged by the SPCA were supported by the municipality or if they were specifically directed to the SPCA. The person at the SPCA told me that all monies went back to the county. If this is the case, then the municipality is not abiding by its own policy pertaining to fees, which is on the website.
I also went to the SPCA website hoping to see some type of financial report and how much came in as donations, etc., but could not find that information. I also cannot find out the number of animals held by the SPCA during the year. The facility at Waterville held three dogs (and one was mine and should not have been there) and fewer cats that I was expecting.

NOVA SCOTIA-   VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


LET THE CATS OUT

I've been a volunteer at the Truro SPCA for two years. It is a good place. Those who work there are wonderful, caring people.

My gig is mostly the cats. I play with them, give them affection and try to socialize the ones afraid of people. You'd think it might be a sad place, with 50 or so abandoned cats. But it was just the opposite. The staff went out of their way to make it like a second home for these cats. It was heart-warming to go there and see cats and kittens running around, chasing toys, climbing on cat jungles, jumping in and out of cat tents, or just lounging on top of the cages, taking it all in. The ‟long-timers" were given the run of the place and could be found hanging out in the laundry room or in the office with the girls. There were always lots of other people visiting and playing with the cats.

A few weeks ago, there was a drastic change. All the cats were in their cages and it was very quiet, with the exception of a number of cats crying to be let out. This is because the provincial SPCA has decreed that in order to decrease the spread of infection, the cats are not to be let out of their cages. Ever. If you were to contact them (1-844-835-4798), the official line is that they are allowed out. What they might not tell you is that you must get a bucket of Javex solution and mop the entire room before letting another cat out. They will also say they are planning a free-roaming room, but this will only be for a few cats. It doesn't help the other 45 cats.

The Truro SPCA often has cats for up to a year. Locking these cats in a 3-by-3-foot cage for such prolonged periods of time, for any reason, is disturbing, misguided and the epitome of cruelty. I implore the provincial SPCA to consider the psychological welfare of the cats in its care, to reconsider this decision and explore a more humane way to combat the spread of infection.

Linda Weeks, Truro





AND.....OUTDATED



SPCA RULES TOO RIGID

The Oct. 13 letter by Linda Weeks about the policy of the provincial SPCA on group housing and exercising of cats is disturbing. Before retiring a few years ago, I was involved in animal care and use for over 35 years. This experience included various animals used in research and teaching, also rescue dogs and cats.

I have visited the Truro SPCA and seen their standards. As part of their veterinary technician program, our students from Nova Scotia Agricultural College (now the Dalhousie agricultural campus) visited the shelter. The Truro SPCA has always appeared to be doing an excellent job with its limited resources.

If Linda Weeks' story is complete, and I have no reason to doubt it, then the provincial SPCA seems to be operating from a code book that became out-of-date around 1980. Given certain important guidelines, group housing and exercising of cats has been proven safe and, in fact, better all around for the physical and mental health of cats. By the way, those guidelines do not include swabbing the decks with Javex before and after every excursion.

Fenton's owner unmasked! Dog walker at centre of YouTube deer-chasing sensation says 'I just want to move on'

·         Father-of-two Max Findlay has not been seen in park since video went viral
·         He is 'considering renaming his pet' following the incident
·         Clip has now been viewed more than three million times on YouTube
By ROB COOPER 


 


A dog walker who became an internet sensation when he was filmed running after his black Labrador Fenton as he charged after deer has been unmasked.
Father-of-two Max Findlay, an editorial consultant, said 'I just want to move on' after the footage, recorded by a 13-year-old boy, went viral on YouTube.
In the 47-second clip the runaway dog  chases after the herd of deer in Richmond Park, London, completely ignoring the increasingly desperate shouts of his owner.
Mr Findlay's furious attempts to stop Fenton are in vain as the frightened animals stampede across a road, forcing cars to stop and leaving an exasperated Mr Findlay swearing in despair.
The dog owner has apparently not been seen walking his pet in the park since the incident.
Jake Goodyear, 13, from Holloway, north London, filmed the video while visiting the park with his father Ali last month.
When questioned on Fenton’s antics Mr Findlay said: 'I don’t really want to add anything to the zillions of words already out there. I'd rather just leave the story where it is and move on.'
Mr Findlay is thought to be worried about facing sanctions from the Royal Parks for failing to keep his pet under control.
He is a former barrister, legal journalist and leader writer for the Observer and Financial Times who lives in a large detached house close to Richmond Park.
After spending the early part of his career writing for the broadsheets and various legal journals he set up his own consultants Max Findlay Associates in 1988, advising companies how to write effectively.
According to his website he has worked with government departments, accountants, universities and multinational companies.
Friends of Mr Findlay said he was considering renaming his dog.
Scroll down for the video

 

One said: 'Max is mortified. Fenton’s a lively dog, but he’d never done this before. Max won't be taking him back to Richmond Park any time soon and is considering giving him a new name if the fuss goes on.'
The clip quickly inspired a number of spoof videos as well as a ringtone and a range of t-shirts.


A remix of the video by The Hoxton’s is now an unlikely contender for the Christmas number one and will battle it out with Gareth Malone’s choir of military wives for the prize.
The song is called Benton! Jesus Christ! - a reference to the name originally thought  to belong to the dog, and Mr Findlay's final furious outburst.

I thought the video was hilarious because most of us dog owners have chased after our disobedient pets at one time or another.

Standards of Care for Animal Protection Act Released

Agriculture

December 4, 2014 2:28 PM


Pet owners in Nova Scotia must follow stronger standards in the care and sale of their cats and dogs.

New standards were released today, Dec. 4, by Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell. The standards and amendments to the Animal Protection Act came into effect Dec. 2.

"The protection of animals is very important to me and to Nova Scotians," said Mr. Colwell. "We now have standards of care in place to help ensure cats and dogs in this province are properly cared for and protected."

Amendments made to the Animal Protection Act in 2013 broadened the definition of distress and provided authority for regulations.

Through regulation, the standards aim to prevent distress and cruelty and to strengthen the protection of cats and dogs.

The standards include:
-- prohibiting tethering for more than 12 consecutive hours
-- a veterinarian certificate of health is required in order to sell both cats and dogs
-- new rules for outdoor care, shelters, pens and enclosures
-- new requirements around the transportation of cats and dogs

Enforcement officials are now able to write summary offence tickets for violations of the act and regulations. Fines range from about $200 to $700.

"We are pleased that the new standards of care enable the Nova Scotia SPCA to rectify issues that have been of concern to our investigators and the community," said Elizabeth Murphy, CEO of the Nova Scotia SPCA. "Particularly, we applaud the inclusion of cats and the requirement of certificates of health for those who sell cats and dogs."

More than 300 Nova Scotians provided input for the new regulations and standards. Mr. Colwell met with a new minister's forum today to share the regulations with representatives from groups like the SPCA and People for Dogs. The forum will meet annually.

"While developing both legislation and regulations, we've consulted and listened to Nova Scotians," said Mr. Colwell. "We look forward to our continued partnership with the SPCA and other organizations that share our dedication to the protection of cats and dogs in Nova Scotia."

The Animal Protection Act regulations are available under consolidated regulations at www.novascotia.ca/just/regulations .


FOR BROADCAST USE:

     Pet owners in Nova Scotia must follow stronger standards in

the care and sale of their cats and dogs.

     New standards were released today (December 4th) by

Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell. The standards and amendments

to the Animal Protection Act came into effect December 2nd.

     Mr. Colwell says the protection of cats and dogs is very

important to him and to Nova Scotians. He says Nova Scotia now

has standards of care in place to help ensure cats and dogs in

this province are properly cared for and protected.

Enforcement officials are now able to write summary offence

tickets for violations of the act and regulations. Fines range

from about $200 to $700.

Nova Scotia Tightens Animal Protection Rules

Nova Scotia's dogs and cats – and their owners – have reason to celebrate in this year, as regulations passed last month offer new protections to help ensure the health and safety of the province's pets.

The recent changes made to the Animal Protection Act accomplish several things: they provide clear guidelines for the health and safety of pets who are kept outdoors for any length of time, they give SPCA investigators and law enforcement more power to rescue pets trapped in hot cars when the owner cannot be found, and they require certification by a veterinarian of a cat or dog's health before the animal can be sold. This last regulation was introduced with the aim to help prevent the tragedies resulting from unsuspecting pet owners being sold sick and dying puppies by unethical dog brokers, but it applies equally to cats as well.
Though it may be a few months before Nova Scotia dogs face the dangers of heatstroke from being left in enclosed cars, the new Animal Protection Act regulations will help save lives when the warmer weather does finally come. Even on relatively cool days, the glass windows of a car or truck act like a greenhouse, causing the temperature inside the vehicle to climb to dangerous levels for a pet (or child) left inside. Previously, only the RCMP had the authority to break into a vehicle to rescue a pet whose health was in danger when the owner could not be found, but the new changes give enforcement inspectors the power to take this life-saving step. Despite the seemingly widespread knowledge that an enclosed car left in the sun can get dangerously hot, every year animals die of heatstroke in unattended cars; these new regulations will mean more dogs may be saved.
An important change introduced with the new regulations is the requirement that any dog or cat sold must have been evaluated by a veterinarian, who must complete a certificate of health for the animal. Many pet owners assume that breeders and brokers who sell dogs and cats must go into the business for the love of the animals – and indeed, some do. But others see only the profits that can be made from other people's love of dogs and cats, and will callously exploit and neglect puppies and kittens in the process. Too many dog owners have suffered the heartbreak of buying a new puppy, only to watch their new family member die within hours of parvovirus or other illnesses. Puppy mills strive to churn out valuable dogs as quickly as possible, often without regard for keeping the animals clean and healthy, and frequently remove puppies from their mothers at too young an age, while they still need to nurse. Unscrupulous animal sellers sell puppies and dogs that they know are sick, giving them only the bare minimum of care to keep them alive until they can be sold to an unsuspecting new owner. Under the new requirements, pet owners will be much more likely to receive healthy animals – but it remains important to do your research on the breeder or seller if you choose to buy a dog or cat rather than adopt a rescue animal.
The new Animal Protection Act regulations were developed with the input of animal rights organizations and carry the approval of the Nova Scotia SPCA. The clearly-outlined standards for care give officials the necessary tools to ensure that dogs and cats are being properly cared for, and the required veterinary certificate helps protect pets and owners from predatory sellers.
