PA Conservation Officer Busy Arresting Violators of Game Laws

HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Conservation Officer (WCO) Rick Finnegan \"Hunting-and-Fishing-October-1927-1\" recently completed two cases involving the illegal killing of a tundra swan and a white-tailed deer in Sullivan County.

Pet Tip of the Week

 

Dogs are NOT Disposable!

 

I am a volunteer at Camden County Animal Shelter. Every time I walk into the kennel area my heart breaks. So many questions arise as I observe the dogs jumping, barking, and sometimes, sitting sadly in their suites as if wondering what they had done to deserve abandonment.

 

  Many of the suites are marked, \”I ran away.\” I wonder, did they really run away or were they dumped because a child lost interest or an adult got tired?

I’ve been training dogs for many years. I’ve also re-homed dozens of dogs when their owners became frustrated, lost a job, or the dog grew to be too much for the individual to handle. Quite a few of these dogs suffer emotional damage much like human children do when they are neglected or abused.

 

When you adopt a dog you must consider these facts: small
