Pet guardians and other residents, organizations like the BC SPCA, and local governments all working together to keep animals happy, healthy and safe means improved quality of life for animals and people! It gets us that one step closer to animals and people thriving together,” explained Ebony Logins, local government relations officer, BC SPCA. “Community health and safety improve dramatically when effective animal control bylaws are adopted and enforced. Several animal control bylaw provisions proven to enhance community welfare are recommended for local governments by the BC SPCA.
