Use brooms instead. In light of the tragic deaths of two young boys in New Brunswick from asphyxia- tion following the escape of a python, the Town reminds all pet owners of their specific responsibilities concerning their pets and of the prohi- bition of owning and keep- ing exotic animals within the town. The Town of Halton Hills Responsible Pet Owner By- law, By-law No.1994-0077, prohibits anyone from keep- ing an exotic animal within the Town of Halton Hills. An exotic animal is defined as "any member of the animal kingdom of living beings not indigenous to Canada." A complete list of prohib- ited exotic animals can be found in Appendix "D" of the bylaw. http://www.hal- tonhills.ca/bylaws/pdf/1994- 0077.pdf. "The sad deaths of the two young boys in Campbellton, New Brunswick reminds us of the seriousness of this is- sue. The Town is committed to ensuring the safety of all residents and will strictly en- force our bylaw," said Mayor Rick Bonnette.
