The New Canaan Lakeview Cemetery is dealing with an issue currently in collaboration with the Police and Animal Control Departments currently that has led to the banning of all pets from the grounds.
According to AC Officer Mary Ann Kleinschmitt, notices have been posted warning visitors of the new, stricter pet regulations after pet owners continually allowed animals to relieve themselves on the headstones and grave sites on the grounds without ever picking up after the fact.
Kleinschmitt said the department would be watching for residents who weren't abiding by the new pet ban and issuing tickets, possibly even for trespassing if the situation warranted further charges.
