“People may forget that their pet dog is a predator and they can injure and kill wildlife if not properly controlled,” said Wildlife Officer Joe Nicholson. “Dog owners are liable for the damage they cause to wildlife.”
By winter, wild animals are just trying to survive the cold and lack of forage. If dogs chase them, they quickly expend their already limited fat stores, leading to poor health and eventual death from starvation.
