"Nine out of 10 people will say, 'oh, let her have just one litter, said Mr. Winkler. "But maybe two out of the litter will get sold and the rest end up here. The owner hopes that well find a home for the animals, but we dont have time for that. "Generally, people who have a family pet should not breed it for he added. "Theres just no sense to it, for most of the litters end up here and are that simple reason, destroyed. ooo A, including MNFGdRDE OPTICS. MC. through the month NowJune, well give you Better Off Mrs. Chadwick and Mr.Winkler stress that pet owners are better off in the long run if they have their male pets neutered and female pets spayed. The initial cost may be expensive for some families, but then, ' that family perhaps should not have a pet in the first place. "The real pet owner who claims to love their animal takes care of its needs and makes sure it doesnt get into trouble, said the animal control officer. "They dont let their animal go unlicensed or unrestrained and without a rabies vaccination. "If people would just do that little bit, we wouldnt end up killing so many here at the shelter, he added. "But not everyone will take care of their pet. Theyll let them nm free, well catch it and that will be the end of it. Mr. Winkler said what remains pathetic about the situation is that real pet owners and non-pe- t owners end up paying the brunt of the costs at the animal shelter.

"The only solution to Tooeles problem is to either educate people, or expand the facility here and Available Satisfaction Guaranteed kill more animals, said Mr. Winkler. "Weve been running over capacity here for several years and its only going to get worse if people dont start changing their attitudes and start caring." Neuter Clinic Another possible solution, says Mr. Winkler, is to organize spaying and neutering clinics for pets. By doing so, the cost could be lowered, perhaps encouraging more residents to have their pet properly licensed and vaccinated. "We could also organize an adop-- . i tion program, but we just dont have the time, money or manpower to do it, said Mr. Winkler..Wed d, .

And theyd find it a very costly and time consuming job. "Weve had people call here asking about their dog, after we destroyed it, said Mrs. Chadwick. "People should not wait a few days to see if their dog or cat comes back if they disappear because maybe weve got it and dont know who the owner is. That example, along with a costly bond schedule that could put an irresponsible pet owner into debt, is incentive enough for pet owners However, if anyone wants to adopt a pet from the animal shelter, Mrs. Chadwick and Mr. Winkler enourage it To adopt a dog costs $10. A cat only $5. However, an animal leaving the shelter for adoption must be licensed first Any citations written against the dog or cat will be dropped. Call If Lost Mrs. Chadwick says that there have been a few occasions where a dog or cat was destroyed, while the owner was waiting for their pet to return. to get their animals properly licensed. The animal control officers emphasize that anyones beloved pet could end up at the shelter. And if unlicensed, would undoubtedly meet a sad fate. Human Blood: Is No Substitute Recent publicity on substances referred to as "artificial blood and "blood substitutes has caused some persons to believe that vo- lunteer blood donations are no longer needed. According to experts at the American Association of Blood Banks, these substances are still experimental and are not yet licensed for use in this country. Additionally, although they may temporarily carry oxygen in emergency situations, blood substitutes cannot duplicate the many vital functions of human blood, such as clotting, fighting infection, and supplying nutrients. Although more than 14,000,000 units are transfused each year, less than five percent of those eligible to give blood do so. Very few of the millions of patients needing blood during the next several years will be helped by artificial substances. Voluntary blood donors are still crucial to an adequate supply of blood. Contact a hospital or commun- ity blood bank today to ensure that blood will be there tomorrow when you, or someone you - know, might need it.
