SIX NATIONS – Six Nations residents are being asked to be sure their dogs are tied up during an upcoming bicycle rally, which will be making its way through part of Six Nations on August 3rd.
On that day, about 2,000 cyclists will be traveling down Pauline Johnson Road to Sixth Line Road, then taking Cayuga Road over to New Credit. The Six Nations Elected Council is asking everyone on this route to please keep your dogs tied up.
“We also ask everyone to please come out and cheer them on,” says Chief Hill. “They will be having a pit-stop at Six Nations Tourism if anyone wishes to greet them there.”
Council is very concerned about dog attacks and according to Hill, staff is considering how to deal with escalating problem of stray or loose dogs, and is considering bringing in the SPCA to help with the problem.
“We have one dog-catcher here and the problem is becoming just too much,” says Hill. “We are meeting with hunters, farmers, the police and others to try and find a humane solution. Please look after your own pets.”
