Animal Care
The London Humane society, London Police Services and Crime Stoppers wish to remind the public that with the arrival of winter and freezing temperatures, we need to take extra precautions with out animal companions. Animal extremities, particularly ears, tail and paws are at great risk of frostbite.

Cats, puppies and sort-haired dogs should all be kept inside during cold weather. Even long-haired dogs should remain inside most of the time.

Never leave animals outdoors overnight or during the day if you're not home. Winter weather is extremely changeable and temperatures can dip dangerously low in a short space of time. Canada's anti-cruelty laws require that animals be provided with adequate shelter and care.

Cats seeking hat of a cold winter's day have been known tocrawl up into the engine blocks of cars. To prevent serious or fatal injuries, bang on the hood of your vehicle or honk the horn prior to starting the vehicle. This may prevent this tragedy from occurring.

If you have any information on any of these or other crimes in the London-Middlesex area, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or locally at 519-661-8477.
