clothesline and leaves them struggling tliete in full view of all his faniUy Columnist Betty Connor who twice a week pens Take Five on The Citizens wom womens � ens pages today makes a forceful plea for people to care for their pes It wasnt until this spring that we found out what had happened to the little dog Spika We found her emaciat emaciated � ed body huddled near the fence less than half a mile from wheie she had last been seen Neai her lay the starved body of that last of her puppies And as we stood theie looking at her small shrunken body my heart swelled with lage at the senseless cruelty of the people who had done this to her It was during one of the winters fiercest storms that the agent who rented a small house near us phoned to ask if we had seen anything of Spika And she explained that she had gone to the house the pi evious day because she had just leai ned that the tenants had left without notice two weeks pieviously When she opened the dooi of the house she discovered that they had left Spika and hei litter of seven pups locked in the house without food or water foi all that time AH but one of the puppies weie alieady dead when she arrived When she opened the door to go outside again Spika and her one remaining pup fled Although they had searched until dark they had been unable to find her and she thought that perhaps she had nude her way to our place Whether she died of star starvation � vation or froze to death or whether she had eaten too much frosty snow at one time as she tiiedto replenish hei dehjdrated body and done hei self some harm in this way we will never know But I do know that it was a cruel senseless act against a helpless animal to nuke her a prisoner in tlut empty house And would luve a ten tendency � dency to forget it as an un foituiute incident justasjou will piobably do if itweient for the fact that this is onlv one of many similar inci incidents � dents that have been repoi ted to me recently There is a family I have heard of who keep a female dog and each time tlut she has a litter they keep them just until they are old enough to wobble around and become a nuisance and then the nun of the family hangs them from the clothesline and leaves them stuuglingthere in full view of all liis joung familv I am told tlut it takes a puppy a veiy long tinietodie this way and tlut one of the snullei child en becomes hsterical at the sipht ofan don Theie is another family who rid themselves of all their unwanted kittens bj holding them 1 the tail and swinging their heads against a fence There is a man who has twice abandoned anuienear heie in the fall and returned in the spring looking for his horse Half starved pooily tialned dogs roam at will in town and count ly a menace to chlldi en and livestock alike And should you be so unfoitunate to luve one of these animals stray onto your piopeity it somehow becomes jour pioblem to deal with as jou will And it seems to me to offer a stiong indictment against the people of our aiea where theie aie so many clubs In opeiatlon dealing in good woiks of eeo tpe no one has et been able to establish a branch of the SPCA
