Summary

A March 1986 Beaver Beacon editorial urged Beaver Island dog owners to keep pets from running loose and to obtain the required licenses through township contacts.

Evidence limits

This is an editorial and public-service reminder, not the text of an ordinance, an enforcement record, an animal census, or a licensing register.

Sources

  1. Argues that many dogs were running loose in town, cites legal penalties and Humane Society risk statistics, and reminds owners that licenses could be obtained through St. James or Peaine township contacts. It is an editorial and public reminder, not an ordinance text, enforcement log, animal census, or licensing register. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
