Feline females, if not spayed early, will often be in continuous heat. This sexual nervous energy distracts from other development such as fur length and luster. Pets that are spayed or neutered do not become fat and lazy. The fact is that a reproductively active dog or cat burns more calories in nervous energy, but a spayed or neutered one will eat less but require the same amount of exercise. This you must provide for them. Thirteen million cats and dogs are killed in shelters each year in this country. Let's stop this senseless slaughter by spaying and neutering your pets The best way to reduce the number of pets that must be destroyed is to reduce the number of puppies and kittens being born. The best way to do this is to have your pet animals spayed or neutered early in their lives. One of the biggest myths, concerning the spaying and neutering of domestic animals is that sex drive is important for the animal's psychological and biological development. This is a misconception. Studies have been done that prove there are no negative changes in a pet's attitude toward human or acquaintances. In fact, they will develop with a more positive attitude. Dogs and cats, being domestic animals, naturally take to people, but un.non-huma- neutered male pets are i . n early. Pets for adoption are terrier (pictured) female, one year old and very friendly; Lab, female, yellow, six months old; American Eskimo female, white, adult.

Rustling Hurts Ranchers and Hunters Continued from Page 1A Horses may travel freely within the state if the hauler has proof of ownership. This proof may be registration papers, auction invoice, brand inspection ers fields and corrals and are prize animals. This makes it seem reasonable that some animals are being taken to start stock for private beginning ranchers and not necessarily to kill or sell. One of the problems of relocating such animals is because they are not branded, but wear ear tags which can easily be removed. Also some brands are not on the brand registery of the certificate or lifetime horse permit. However, a brand inspection is required on horses whenever the ownership is transferred to another individual through state.

Donald Hatch and Allen Olsen h of Price and Mike Payne of Hiawatha have since been released on $5,000 bail each. A court date has not been set as yet. The three had seven head of cattle in their possession at the time of their arrest by Wayne County SherrifFs deputies. The sheriffs report indicated that a 1973 GMC pickup, a 1984 30 foot stock trailer, two saddles and two horses which had been used in the apparent theft, were confiscated at the time of their arrest. Terry Menlove, chief of the Bureau of Animal Identification for Utah Department of Agriculture, said that Utahs Brand Inspection Law is improtant protection for livestock. The states 59 brand inspectors, most of whom are part time, enforce the law throughout Utah. Because of the surveillance work of brand inspectors and willingness to comply with the laws, Utah is relatively free of cattle rustling, according to Mr. Menlove. Every five years brands are renewed with the Department of Agriculture. At that time livestock owners are issued a brand card which can be used to determine ownership. Over 24,000 brands and marks are registered with the department. These are crucial for monitoring livestock ownership, especially on the open range when several herds may be on the range at one time. Livestock inspectors employed by the Utah Department of Agriculture issue brand inspection certificates. Utah law requires that a certificate be issued whenever cattle or horses change ownership. This certificate becomes the new owner's legal proof of ownership, much like the title to an automobile. All cattle, being transported across district lines or out of the state must also be inspected prior to movement. The only exception to this would be cattle moving to a Utah auction. They may move to the sale yard on the owner's brand card, or a bill of sale filled out by the owner. The cattle will then be inspected at the sale yard prior to selling. Its true. First Interstate can help fulfill your worthwhile needs now. So apply now at any First Interstate office. But hurry. A sale this big can't last forever. War-wic- First Interstate Bark Member FDIC Equal Opportunity Lender - sale or otherwise. - Horses leaving the state must either have a brand inspection certificate or a lifetime permit. A bill of sale issued from the seller to the buyer of a hone is not legal proof of ownership nor does it satisfy the law. The use of citations to violators of the law is also becoming a helpful tod to protect the livestock industry. Mr. Menlove explained that because brand inspectors mon- itor livestock movement and check animals for proper vaccinations and health certificates, they are now being called livestock inspectors. This change from brand inspector reflects the broader range of their responsibilities. "Cattle thieves come in two basic types says Insight writer Henderson. "You have people who steal for their own use. We refer to them as the roadside y swappers or the bunch.. Their. M.O. is to shoot the animal, remove the head and feet, and take it home and put it in the freezer. That's usually in the open range. Its sure hard to catch 'em in the act. The other type is the commerical rustier. "He uses large trucks, gooseneck trailers, and will usually kteal in large numbers. According to Summit County Sheriff Fred Eley, Summit County does not have too many reports on cattle or sheep rustling. However, because of our large unfenced ranges, no one knows just how many missing have died, wandered off or have been stolen. A few weeks ago several strays from sheep herds here in Summit County were reported down by Mountain Dell Reservoir. Their markings were reported to the Highway Patrol who in turn notified the owners. Sheriff Eley did report that just a few weeks ago, two dogs were home-freez- ; er I T T 4 K I 4 9 responsible for killing sheep worth $5,000 belonging to Gilmore and Osguthorpe near Park City. One dog was tagged and the owner must pay restitution. Landowners and ranchers need help from a concerned public, Especially hunters who, too often, are adversely affected by the action of a few. If you see anyone poaching, vandalizing property or cattle rustling, call any law enforcement dispatch, or the Division of Wildlife Resources hotline.
