Council to deliberate on tethering issue
An animal right’s supporter’s presentation and two signed petitions asking the town to set a limit on tethering dogs might just be enough to encourage the Town of Battleford to amend its bylaw.
If the town takes up the cause it could enforce a restriction on the amount of time, consecutively in a day, dog owners would be permitted to tether or chain their pets outside.
Battleford resident and animal lover Melissa Kainberger spoke to council last Monday urging it to amend its bylaw.
Town of Battleford Mayor Ames Leslie said Kainberger “has some valid points.”
