PHILIPSBURG:--- In response to a surge in complaints regarding stray and dangerous dogs in various districts of St Maarten, the local police force has taken proactive measures to address these growing concerns. Community policemen from different neighborhoods have been actively engaging with dog owners and handlers to mitigate the potential risks associated with these animals.
The recent incidents have brought to light the urgent need for responsible pet ownership and control. The community police officer of Guana-Bay is currently searching for the owner of a brown/white pit bull, which has been involved in multiple attacks in the area.
An appeal goes out to the owner of this animal to take immediate action in order to bring their pet under control and prevent further harm to the community.
The Police strongly emphasize the importance of responsible pet ownership, including proper containment of dogs to ensure the safety of both residents and visitors. It is the responsibility of every dog owner to take appropriate measures to prevent their pets from becoming a threat to public safety.
However, if the owner of the brown/white pit bull fails to cooperate or neglects their responsibility, the police will be left with no choice but to take further action. In the interest of public safety, the police are prepared to intervene with appropriate measures, potentially involving other agencies, to resolve this dangerous situation.
The St Maarten Police Force urges anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the owner of the brown/white pit bull to come forward and provide this vital information to the authorities. It is through collective efforts that we can ensure a safe and secure community for everyone.
