Q Orono students thoroughly enjoyed the above theatré groujj There was ne less of attention span last week at the Orene Publie Sehool when the school body was entertained with some live theatre and certainly geared te the likes of public schoel students, It was the "We Are One Theatre" greup of Terento, whe were entertaining at the scheel presenting Mime and dance with the student intent on catching every meve ef the four characters enacting the story "A Cat and a Letter to the Editor In the Highway 115/7th-8th Concession Read area, on Menday, February 20, 1995 areund 11:00 a.rn., ene ef rny neighbours shot and killed rny deg because the deg allegedly killed his poultry. My deg was wearing a distinctivecellar, 1995 tags and therefere ebvieusly was a pet. What this man did is perfectly legal under the Livesteck, Peultry and Honeybee Protection Act. Because he called in Animal Centrol te pick up the deg after sheotmng hlm, 1 arn in the position of net being allowed te know where and hew it happened. What is ironic is that 1 was searching my property when ail the degs didn't cerne back frem their run that morning, and then was driving around the neighbeurhoed, ail the time dreading what I right fmnd In the seven years I have lived here, I have receîved ne cemplaints about any ef rny three degs. Should I have received any, I weuld have taken corrective measures because net enly de 1 look after my dogs, I aise respect my neighbeurs. My dogs are loved as much as seme people love their children. They were trained se as te hopefully flot be a nuisance and te respond te cornrands for their ewn and others' protection. They were exercised regularly se that they wouldn't run wild, even though we have 274 acres en which they could romp. They were gentie and loving dogs. I arn a responsible persen, and completely accountable for the actions of rny degs, both rnorally and by law. None of this was eneugh te prevent this tragedy. If my dog did îndeed kil this rnans chickens, the dog didn't know that what he was deing was wrong and the fact is that the chickens were already dead and nething could change that. Was exacting the full punishment that the law allows for what was, te rny knowledge, a first effence ab solutely necessary and did it make any of this any better? 1 would have paid rnany more times this man's damages if he weuld have just rnade the effort te let the dog live, and let me tiy te correct the situation, even if this would have rnmeant that rny dogs would net be let loose for the rest of their lives. I arn a farmer tee and have had numerous- stray and neighbourhood degs on my preperty harassing rny pets and near my cattie, but I have neyer reserted te shoeting, though under this law 1 would have been allowed te do se. Until 1 fmnd eut what transpired, 1 will always wonder which neighbeur ceuld be se callous as te kili a ioved pet, ever a paltry financial less fer which he would be compensated regardless, and in fact has been compensated by me threugh a intermediary, because he wishes te rernain anenyrneus. 1 arn geing public with this issue because I sincerely hope ne one ever has te go through an erdeal like this. This is like a hit and run accident that haunts you for the rest of your life. Werse yet, 1 know one of rny neighbeurs is involved. A copy of this Livestock Act will be left with the edîter of this paper. Dog ewners should make themselves familiar with this piece of provincial legisiation. While the original intent rnay have been te protect. farmers from lesses incurred by degs, whereby ewners of degs denied respensibility for either the dog or the loss, this iaw ailows for yeur deg te be shet under many ether non-livestock contact scenarios. This law does net require the farmer te exercise any discretion. Many deg ewners are, unfortunately, completely irresponsible, and dracenian laws such as this are the resuit. Knowing what happened would help me put this incident inte perspective. 1 do net want revenge because that wouldn't bring my dead dog back, and any negative action after the fact is poîntless. This man insisted that Animal Control relay a message te me about how sonry he was. 1 wish that he would tell me himself. Linda Gasser Best Road, Orono Deg" written by Marvin Ifhrnael.
