He used to do the job in Vaughan as well. But when he asked for more money, Vaughan got James McMillan instead. McMillan now receives $13,800 per year while Ryan gets $42,000 apiece from Richmond Hill and Markham for a much more elaborate service. While McMillan catches 300 dogs a year and two out of three go to research or the gas chamber, Ryan impounded 464 dogs and 387 cats from Richmond Hill and 552 dogs and 361 cats from Markham in 1976. He refuses to say how many animals were destroyed. He will not send out any for research. An original opponent of the Animals for Research Act, he has not changed his attitude over the years. He also dealt with almost 300 wild animals last year. from wolves to mice. There are six million dogs registered in Canada.
