The Ministry of Natural Resources is reminding dog
owners it’s illegal & dangerous to allow their pets to run
loose and chase deer during the non-hunting season.
MNR Spokesperson Carol Croweley says deer have a hard
time running in deep snow or on ice, and being chased by a
dog can cause injury, exhaustion and even death.

Under the fish and wildlife conservation act, it’s
illegal to let a dog run at large in an area inhabited by
deer, moose, elk and bear during the closed season.
Conservation Officers are authorized to destroy dogs
found chasing deer, and the owner may be charged under the
conservation act.
