Toronto city councillors are calling for stronger animal control measures in the wake of recent serious dog attacks, including speedier responses to reports of dangerous dog order violations, as well as enforcement blitzes in problem parks.
Coun. Paula Fletcher (Toronto-Danforth) hopes the new dangerous dogs plan passed this month by council, including new sign requirements, will empower residents to know where the 450 dogs designated by the city as dangerous are located and to keep an eye on whether they are following the rules.
