Animal Control
Bylaw back in
council chambers
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associated Editor
Prestigious pastor
It was a case of déjà vu for some council members
as the Animal Control Bylaw once again landed on
the town’s agenda with a request to prompt a new,
Page 17 more inclusive regulation that demonstrates mod-
ern standards and practices.
The bylaw raised some concerns in 2014, when a
local family asked to allow their Vietnamese pot-bel-
lied pig, Chuckles, within town limits to ease their
daughter’s night terrors.
Following much debate about a solution best
suited for the Town of Strathmore, the bylaw was
amended with special conditions attached to allow
for Chuckles – who by then was a registered emo-
Zone battle tional support animal with the National Service Ani-
mal Registry (NSAR) – to return home. However, the
Animal Control Bylaw still prohibits the use of fowl,
bovine, equine, poultry and porcine as pets.
These restrictions resulted in Strathmore resident
Paul Sonsteby appealing to council on March 7 for
the sanction of owning miniature pigs as pets with-
in the town.
“I grew up on a farm in a household with lots of
pets, dogs and cats, and I married a woman who
