Disappearing act: Henry Skritek and his pet lion, photographed before Scarborough's new bylaw banning exotic pets from residential areas, appear to have been separated. Neighboring Centennial Dr. residents had complained about the lion and it hasn't been seen for at least the last two weeks even though Skritek vowed to fight the bylaw and keep the lion.

Puppy love isn't saddling Metro with as many unwanted pets as it used to, says George Banton, chief animal control officer for the Borough of York. Above, he displays one of the York animal shelter's inmates, a young part-German Shepherd. The animal shelter now has empty cages and Banton gives the credit to the borough's low-cost spay-neuter program, begun two years ago.
