8 Page 8 May 28, 2010 Paw Print Press Two Horrific Criminal and Merciless Cases Press Release Pictured are recent rescues representing the horrific and criminal actions of a segment of our community. The kitten (not weaned) was found abandoned in a dumpster in a tied plastic bag near Hillsboro Fire Department. A fireman heard noise and discovered the devastating situation of the kitten who had survived being place in a bag of water. Lack of oxygen and being hypothermic nearly claimed the kitten s life. The fireman s fast emergency care immediately warmed the kitten. The kitten (not named yet) is being fostered by Lana Crow. Another equally horrible story is of five puppies being found in a CLOSED cardboard box next to a dumpster outside of Whitney when the outside temperature reached 91 degrees (imagine the temperature in the closed box). Had it not been for their timely discovery by an alert citizen and Good Samaritan, they all would have died a horrific death. The puppies are being fostered by David and Carole Huens. If you can help with any of these beautiful animals, contact Lana lanarcrow@sbcglobal.net. Please take a moment and realize that with a proactive county animal control program (where an animal shelter is needed for support) pet overpopulation can be corrected. We simply do not have to live in a community where unwanted domesticated animals have the value of hamburger wrappers. Please continue to support the attainable goals of Paw Pals.
