It's long been accepted that we treat our pets like our children, like family. So why am I not allowed to take my leashed and fully trained dog to the beach for a swim on a hot day? The Pet Owners Responsibility By-Law in Oshawa, Ontario states:
Animal Control
24. No Person shall Keep an Animal and no Owner shall permit to be Kept an Animal except pursuant to the following conditions:
24.2. The Animal is not Running at Large;
24.4. The Animal is provided with shelter, food and water that as appropriate to the Animal’s species;
***24.5. The Animal is treated humanely***
24.11. The Animal is not on a public beach; and
24.12. An Owner does not permit an Animal to threaten the health or safety of a person or of another Animal.
Is it humane to deny a dog a dip in the water when his fur is all black and its +30 outside? It's fine to walk him down the street, even TD Bank is dog friendly.
We, the undersigned, call on the Council of the Corporation of the City of Oshawa to amend the Responsible Pet Owner's By-Law Sec. 24.11 to allow access for dogs during restricted hours.
