API and other groups can claim extraordinary headway over the past 10 years in the defense of a number of endangered wild species. Whales, porpoises, baby seals and a number of olhsr exotic species have a worldwide set of defenders and in some ways things are looking up. "For pets," says API's Belton P. Mouras, "I think it's been going the other way. Nobody is exctly out to destroy them, or erase them from our way of life, but it's definitely getting harder to give your pets a decent lifestyle." In recent weeks, API has enlisted members (it's one of the world's largest humane groups) against cruel and illicit practices in the raising of pets for sale. It is now starting on a nationwide alert oi pet owners which will reach millions of homes and seek to identify the primary problems inand tell the sympavolving pets thetic what they can do about it. According to Mouras, these are some of the basic trends which are making it harder and harder for pets to "live the good life" here in America: EXCLUSIONS. Most apartment house owners are putting out the "No Pets" signs and many homes leased out have similar exclusions. Despite the new law to guarantee pet ownership in federally assisted rental housing for the elderly and handicapped, there is no concerted - with nooses around their necks and bets were taken on which dog would jump first and hang itself.

SEIZURE FOR LABS. With millions now aroused against the sacrifice of animals in laboratories, the labs offer financial incentives for delivering animals to them for their experiments. When city and public shelters become entangled in schemes to turn over unwanted, unadopted animals to labs, it can diminish a strong interest in making adoptions. It can also cause uncommon haste in deanimals to livering newly-seize- d the labs.

Commercial operations often lack this information. COMMUNITY OVERSIGHTS. With home-builderarer these days than apartment shoppers, access to open spaces even the open space within a fenced yard has been sharply shrinking for most pets. A solution lies with community facilities, parks, beaches, recreation centers, where Program Aids Abused Children group's suggestion every community should look at its park system, recognize the need for recreation areas where humans and pets can interact, and be sure to designate substantial areas for that purpose. have pointed to stray animals as one of the most difficult civic problems, comparatively few communities are giving realistic attention and realistic budgets to their animal control systems A good system, according to API. is one which allows substantial time for seized pets to be adopted ior found by their owners before they are euthanized Comfortable and sanitary conditions without crowding are a must No deals should be made with labs to turn over the unclaimed. "This is one of the tests of a responsible community." says API s Mouras. 'and I am based on visiting going to guess so many that more than half the shelters in the country are underfinanced when they depend on public funds." The most important single thing for the to remember? "Go slowly." says API, "when you decide on a pet. You re making a lifetime commitment or should be the pet's lifetime.
