WHEREAS the fee schedule in The Stray Animals Regulations only provides a maximum of $25.00 per day per animal for providing care;

WHEREAS the cost of caring for different types of animals varies drastically;

WHEREAS the cost associated with providing care for smaller animals can be substantial if charged at the maximum rate and those costs cannot be recovered in full if the animals are sold at auction;

BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the provincial government to amend Table 1 of The Stray Animal Regulations to indicate fees for providing care specific to each type of animal (e.g. cattle, hogs, horses, bulls, et cetera).
