The Collectivity is launching a new campaign to capture stray dogs from December 4th to 16th. For nearly two weeks, the animal control team will patrol the neighborhoods to deal with roaming animals, a phenomenon that remains very prevalent on the island.
This operation is a regular occurrence, but the services remind us that it is nothing exceptional: Allowing a dog to roam freely is prohibited by the territorial decree.and, above all, dangerous for both the animal and the public. Owners are therefore urged to be extra vigilant, to keep their dogs on a leash and to check that gates and fences are holding up well, including outside the capture period. The rules are simple Dogs must be kept on a leash, muzzled for dogs classified as dangerous breeds, and microchipped for all dogs. A captured and identified animal can only be released after… payment of a fine.
Animal protection associations also point out thatdeliberately abandoning one’s dog in the street constitutes a offence punishable by lawA complaint will be filed in cases of disguised abandonment observed each time the impound lot visits.
Another message repeated forcefully : the sterilization This remains the only sustainable solution to limit the presence of puppies and stray dogs in the streets. Campaigns to free sterilization are organized regularly by I Love My Island Dog and aids are possible with Soualiga Animal Lovers.
In Saint-Martin, the pound only intervenes four times a year, while other areas operate daily.
