b)
Liz White, representing the Animal Alliance of Canada, thanked Council
for their efforts with respect to this by-law and recommended that the by-
law include agents and inspectors of SPCA as enforcement officers under
this by-law. She further recommended a provision be provided in Section
28(a) that if a sick animal is in need of 24-hour care, this can be done
without being in violation of the by-law. She also requested that a
provision be included in the by-law restricting the use of punishment to the
animals. Ms. White advised that some animals prefer to be together in
cages as they like the companionship whereas, other animals prefer to be
alone, and therefore, she requested that enforcement officers assess the
situation in making a decision.
c)
Silia Smith, representing the World Society for the Protection of Animals,
congratulated the City and advised of their support of this by-law. This will
be a step forward in making pet stores more accountable, making rules
clear and providing the public with a means of recourse.
d)
Dr. Mimi Ehrlich, representing Ajax Animal Hospital, advised that she
works in the emergency clinic and spoke on "Parvo" virus including its
means of transfer, symptoms and required treatment. It has been a
likened virus in vet hospitals to SARS in human hospitals. She stated her
support of the by-law and confirmed that the Parvo is not a reportable
disease.
