Fine For Vicious Dogs
Local News Fine for vicious dogs
document.write(dateConvert("2005-03-08 10:52:59"));March 08, 2005 - 7:52 am By: Treena Wood/The Province A Langley Township councilor says dog owners, whose pets injure someone, should be made to pay. Muriel Aranson has proposed a $100,000 fine be added to the township's new vicious dog bylaw. At a debate into the issue, Aranson said council has to get draconian with dog owners because the only thing people understand is money. The city's permits manager told her a fine that high is out of the question. Glen Gordon suggests higher licensing fees for high risk dogs and hiring three animal control officers. The township is holding a public meeting on the issue later this month.

people who raise vicious dogs shouldn't have to pay more in fines! that's friggin ridiculous!
they should have their dogs impounded and then not allowed to have anymore.

i think once a dog hurts someone they should have that dog taken away and then an investigation should be done into the reason that the dog:
1.) is aggressive. 2.) was in a situation that allowed it to hurt someone. the fines are ok, but they shouldn't leave it at that.
