Reports of Dogs Harassing and Killing Wildlife on Denman Island

environment · Denman Island

There have been repeated reports of dogs harassing wildlife on Denman Island, including a pregnant doe killed by an uncontrolled dog. The Wildlife Advisory Committee reminds dog owners of legal responsibilities and consequences under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Wildlife Act.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
