Turn Cornwall, Ontario, into a no kill city for animals!

The City of Cornwall has a lot of community cats (cats born outside with little human contact), and only recently created a cat bylaw that comes into effect in February 2021.

There are some cities, like Calgary and Toronto, who operate their municipal Animal Services shelters using a no kill model.

We would like the City of Cornwall Ontario to make the following amendments.

Change the name from Cornwall Animal Control to Cornwall Animal Services.

Create a foster and adoption program.

Ban the euthanasia of adoptable animals, and make every attempt to rehabilitate non adoptable animals in shelters so they can hopefully become adoptable.

Amend the proposed "cat at large" ban to exempt community/feral cats.

Expand the spay neuter program to include feral/community cats. The City of Toronto fully subsidizes feral/community cat spay and neuter. www.communitycats.ca

Change the current Dangerous Dog bylaw to copy the City of Toronto's Dangerous Dog bylaw, which focuses on rehabilitation of the dog, and allows the dog's caregiver to appeal the dangerous dog designation through the Toronto Dangerous Dog Review Tribunal.

Work with local wildlife rehabilitation centres to add wildlife rescue and transport to a wildlife rehabilitation centre as part of Cornwall's animal services. www.ontariowildliferescue.ca
