Irresponsible Pet Owners Dear Editor: BORN TO DIE In response to your article article "Animal Shelters Face Pet Population Crisis" (July 10, 1991) I can only share with you my disappointment in a neighbour of mine who allows.an unspayed dog to run free in town, then advertises advertises (possibly regularly) "Free Puppies". Do they not realize that this is the height of irresponsibility? I am a pro-lifer, but at the same time, a staunch advocate advocate of prevention (of conception). conception). I believe it is time to start discriminating against owners of unspayea and unneutered unneutered animals by making licencing fees exorbitant. < Debra Roche ■ Debi'a Roche, daughter of Elgin and Madeline Heard, 1 Newcastle, graduated.

Dairy farmers, farmers, for instance, can only produce a specified amount. of milk, so why should residents residents of Newcastle (or any municipality) be allowed to produce more dogs, cats, etc. than the community can care for? The municipalities should not have to subsidize spaying or neutering. On the other hand, they should create such a difference between between the cost of licensing "fixed" and "unfixed" ■ animals animals that the cost of this preventive operation would seem minimal. If the Town of Newcastle initiated this plan, other municipalities would undoubtedly undoubtedly follow their lead. Ian S.G. Walker.
