Sometime -last week while staff member Marilyn Brown was working in the back room, someone dump- ed off a cardboard box. When Brown later discovered the box ' and looked inside, she found eight small puppies. She has no idea who left them there, but she’s not happy about the situation because the dump- ing of unwanted animals is an on-going problem in the Terrace area. Just last year a litter of un- weaned pups were left on the steps of the Thornhill shelter. Red Cross human babies, .One can only guéss' at the num- . ber of unwanted animals dump- ed in other locations around town. In the case of last week’s pup- pies, Brown explains that itis an all-too-familiar scenario — someone didn’t bother to have their animal spayed. Weaning is a stressful time for baby animals (this applies to as well). It doesn’t take much imagination to envision the terror a young animal would feel at being taken from its mother and the familiar ‘surroundings it has known from birth, shut inside a dark box, then carelessly discarded like an seeks war funding campaigners ‘Ihe Canadian Red Cross has launched an appeal to help its international parent organization in Geneva raise what it believes will be $124 million needed to help the victims of war in the Persian Gulf States. Red Cross northern B.C. regional director Chris Bone said Jan. 23 that his office is secking volunteers to conduct campaigns on local levels in northem commutities. The Red Cross already has person- nel in key areas around the con- flict, Bone said, and a roster of people who will be sent over if the level of aid and relief required in | the area increases.

The Canadian Red Cross has a plan in place to supply blood and blood products to Canadian Forces people in the Gulf if required, Bone said. The International Red Cross tracing agency is accepting urgent requests from Canadians who have families in Iraq for information about their families in the war zone. Tracing requests can be called in to the same telephone number. old pair of shoes at a strange location. where there is nothing familiar. Cruelty comes in many forms. One possible explanation (al- though it’s certainly. not an ex- cuse) why people continue to secretly dump animals at animal shelters (and in other areas) may be the smatl fee the shelter charges when an animal is brought in. - Bowsher explains that the costs of operating the shelter — utilities, animal feed, building maintenance costs and other ex- penses -— are covered by their budget from the city govern- ment. Owners of animals that are left at the shelter are charged a small fee for use of the shelter, a fee that Bowsher says ‘‘is ap- plied according to the situ- ation.” Another problem for the shelter when they receive an animal under these conditions is that they have no background information on the creature. Al- though this information, such as breed, temperament, the likes and dislikes of that particular animal, is not absolutely vital, having it can sometimes help in finding the right home that will benefit both the animal and new owner alike. The pups, which appear to be six to eight weeks of age, are now available for adoption. _ July 23-Aug.22 tuition. Dec. 22-San. 19 Feb. 19-Mar. 20 too hard, Be willing to compromise.
