The bylaw addresses animals running 'at large,' noise complaints, and the number of animals allowed per household. It also outlines procedures for impounding animals, fees associated with animal control, and penalties for bylaw violations. Specific rules apply to chickens, rabbits, rodents and wild/exotic animals. It affects all animal owners and residents of View Royal and those using the municipal parks.
