Animals: it’s not a question of forgetting
It’s a tad disingenuous for the city to urge people not to forget their pets when they move house this July. People are not forgetting their pets – they’re abandoning them.
If the authorities want to reduce this problem there are two obvious moves: subsidize neutering clinics and decree that leases cannot forbid people to have pets, providing they’re not noisy or too numerous.

In Ontario, it is forbidden to disallow pets in a lease. Only if they become a substantiated problem can the owner object.
