To paraphrase a movie character: Saanich is as Saanich does.
As longtime Saanich residents, council no longer surprises us. While all the leash-your-dogs champions are thrilled by their B次元官网网址榳inB次元官网网址� and love telling anyone who will listen how dogs terrorize migrating birds, I would just like to say that, IB次元官网网址檝e attended far too many council meetings voicing my displeasure regarding free-roaming cats B次元官网网址� housed and feral alike B次元官网网址� to no avail.
Yes, dogs can and do disturb birds, but I have yet to see one bring down a bird midair as our neighbourB次元官网网址檚 cat did recently B次元官网网址� in our yard no less! Here, they do as they please: kill birds and defecate with impunity wherever it suits them, and not a single cat owner poop-scooping after them.
Therefore, bird protectors, please inform Saanich with the same vehemence you reserve for dogs, that free-roaming cats (killing over an estimated billion birds annually just because they can, without any bylaws requiring their owners to keep their beloved murderers locked up inside), that this carnage is unacceptable.
So many Saanich double standards. Lastly, this is not the first time Saanich asked for public input, B次元官网网址榮tudiedB次元官网网址� it and ignored it completely.
