SSS is what people need to do if they have a dog causing problems. I've actually found a couple dogs that somebody forgot one of the 3 S's.

I see your point mike pal!!
The laws can be pretty contrary when it comes to dogs.In my township there is a bye law prohibiting dogs running at large but at the same time we have licensed dogs running deer in season.I suppose common sense should take over and the allowance under Provincial law should supercede the bye law.In the winter if I,am running a beagle on rabbits its legal provincially up until the beagle decides to run deer.But I,am probably breaching the bye law for the township.
The question might be is a dog running a rabbit considered to be running at large if it is out of your view and hearing which they very often are.
Not to sound smart but what exactly is the difference between hunting dogs running game and non hunting dogs? I don't think either are stopped by property boundries. When it comes to a topic like this it's all personal opinion fueled largely by emotion. There's no right answer...only opinion. What about the vehicles that kill/injure deer? How about hunters making poor shots?
If you want to leash your dog then fine, if not well that's your choice too. I wouldn't get too fired up about this one.

QUOTE=chris lavoie;873508]Some think their dogs shouldn't have to be leashed. The law states you're not to let your dogs run at large. A dog doesn't know boundries of private land.
What about the game (deer) the dogs kill when running at large. Or the dog that accidently gets trapped because the owner refuses to leash his mutt!!
I'm not talking about licensed hunting dogs!!
What's your thoughts???[/QUOTE]
comes down to training i guess, some are willing to take the time to train their dog, my dog has taking off chasing animals before, i.e a coon in the back yard, a stern yell and she turns back to me. and trust me, you shoot my dog, u got worse problems then a visit from the opp...
Well then there are other reasons...LOL...

I think the FWCA laws regarding dogs at large during the closed season is primarily relating to dogs chasing deer in winter months where just the chase may cause pregnant does to abort or die from exhaustion. Or the dogs catch and kill deer when there is a crust that holds the dogs but the deer breaks through.
In my view, it is too bad that dogs chase deer other than legal hunting with dogs. It is the owner that should be tarred and feathered. The poor old dog is only doing what used to come naturally to it.
