Bylaw prohibits feeding strays

By Kevin Gilby
DAVIDSON—At its Nov. 20 meeting Davidson town council discussed a complaint of a resident creating a nuisance by feeding stray cats in the community.
Under Davidson’s Animal Control Bylaw, residents who own or harbour “a dog or cat shall not allow the animal to create a nuisance to any person”. The individual was requested to cease the practice immediately as the animals were causing damage to neighboring properties.
Under the bylaw, No. 751, a first offence is punishable by $100 fine. A second offense is punishable by a $200 fine and any subsequent infractions is $400.
