An online petition has gathered roughly 1,500 signatures protesting the new rules.
“This is by no means any open season on dogs, is the way it’s being portrayed,” Reeve Steve Kwiatkowski said about the bylaw.Under the bylaw, dogs roaming at large in the RM may be shot if they’re trespassing on someone’s property or public roads adjoining those lands. The rules also say any person who owns a dog running at large is guilty of breaching the bylaw. The RM’s council adopted the rules in May.
Don Ferguson, executive director of Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan, said he’s concerned that the RM and the person who ends up killing a dog may infringe on the 2018 Animal Protection Act, which lays out requirements for animal euthanasia. “But are those grants of authority really intended to go this far — to allow any individual to kill in unspecified ways any dog they find on their property or on public property next to their property?”
