managed to throw one of the
dogs into a garage, but not
before being bitten on the leg
and arm.
Bylaw supervisor Mike
LaPierre said his department
will apply to the courts for a
destruction order for the
dogs.
Kamloops Mayor, John
Dormer said the pit-bull-terrier
situation is a serious issue in
Kamloops and he hopes to re­
commend a solution after
studying a report on the
breed by the city animal-con­
trol department.
“There's no question in
my mind there's a problem,”
he said. “We're trying to
market a quality of life here

and I don't want people
afraid to walk outside.”
However, Dormer said it's
important not to overreact to
the problem. “We don't know
what percentage of these
dogs are vicious. Do you call
them vicious after one bite?
Two? I don't know.”
Animal-control officer Bruce
Maciver said there are 27
licensed pit bulls in the city,
but at least another 100
unlicensed ones that have
proven impossible to catch.
He said the city has
destroyed nine pit bulls so far
this year as a result of citi­
zens' complaints.
Two of the pit bulls ripped
the throat out of another dog,
one attacked five children in
a school yard, owners asked
that two be destroyed and the
others were destroyed for
running at large, he said.
Maciver said pit bulls are
scary and unpredictable.
“There's no need for this
type of animal. They're not a
family pet. You might as well
give someone a loaded gun to
play around with,” he said.
