Subject:
VICIOUS DOG DECLARATION - GLASBERGEN
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1. THAT Report CD-32-00 be received; and
2. THAT the vicious dog declaration served on Frank Glasbergen be upheld.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
Frank Glasbergen occupies space at 71 Mearns Court, Unit 13, Bowmanville and owns an
adult female German Shepherd named "Kat". On April 7, 2000, Mr. Glasbergen's dog bit a
man who works in one of the other units on Mearns Court. The dog was placed under a
Confinement Order for quarantine by the Regional Health Department. Mr. Glasbergen's
dog was reported loose during the 10 day confinement period. It was also reported to the
Animal Services Officer that Mr. Glasbergen's dog had previously bit someone else prior to
April 7, 2000 but, because of the time factor, this was not investigated.
On June 1, 2000, Mr. Glasbergen's dog bit another individual and it was again placed under
a Confinement Order for quarantine by the Regional Health Department. Animal Services
staff once again received a complaint that, during this confinement period, Mr. Glasbergen's
dog was being kept loose at his shop. Animal Services' staff have copies of both
confinement orders in their possession.
It is noted that the Vicious Dog Declaration only requires an attack, not even a bite, to deem
a dog vicious. There is no dispute about the first bite and the next bite occurred less than 8
weeks apart. Please note that Mr. Glasbergen's dog was not licenced in 1999 or 2000.
