Dogs Seized After Family Pet Mauled to Death in Kamloops

City of Kamloops officials have seized three dangerous dogs after an attack on another dog that left the family pet dead.
The three dogs were captured by Kamloops community services officers, who are investigating the Sept. 8 incident.
Kamloops RCMP told The Epoch Times by email they were called to the 600-block of Richmond Avenue at about 7:15 a.m. after a report that a dog had been killed by three other dogs. The animals remain in city custody.
In a Sept. 9 statement, the city offered “heartfelt condolences to the family that lost their beloved dog yesterday,” saying the incident was “a somber reminder of the profound impact such situations can have on families and their cherished pets.”
Owners of aggressive dogs must also have a special licence and liability insurance of no less than $2 million. They must have electronic microchip identification implanted in the dog and register this identification with authorities.
Aggressive dogs that don’t comply with the bylaw can be seized by city authorities and their owners fined.
The city said owners will be subject to regular compliance checks to ensure all rules are being followed.
