Islanders are being asked to offer extra remarks and feedback on a brand-new piece of legislation that concentrates on boosting safety for dog control.
As laid out in a previous assessment, the brand-new Dog Owners Act will change the Dog Act, and will concentrate on upgrading dog control and safety arrangements while likewise enhancing on reliable methods of enforcement when an unsafe scenario develops.
“After receiving a significant amount of feedback during our first round of consultation, we are proud to offer a second round in the hopes that we can more closely refine and identify areas where change may or may not be needed for this specific legislation. As many know, this legislation is outdated, and we look forward to being the first Government to fully modernizing it so that we can further improve enforcement and safety mechanisms while keeping animal welfare at the forefront.”
