Woolwich Township Animal Control By-Law Amended

[WHS]

I'm pleased to announce that as of 8:45pm Monday night (October 20th), our request for an amendment the Woolwich Township Animal Control by-law has been granted. Up until now, all snakes of the families pythonidae and boidae were prohibited in Woolwich County, but now all pythons and boas which remain under 2 metres (6.6 feet) in adult size can be kept and sold there.

This new change of by-law will affect those in the following cities, villages and communities:

* Bloomingdale
* Breslau
* Conestogo
* Elmira
* Floradale
* Heidelberg
* Maryhill
* North Woolwich
* St. Jacobs
* Weissenberg
* West Montrose
* Winterbourne
* Zuber Corners

I would like to thank everyone who has supported us in making this request over the past 6 months and a special thank you to Paul Gillard of Gillard's Reptiles and Liz Bender of Scutes and Scales for coming out to help us out at the council meetings!
