Mules Bought to Save Wagons at Valley Forge
Twenty one Bicentennial mules were purchased for 200 dollars each by the Women's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to prevent their sale for dog food. SPCA executive director Robert Hudson said only one owner planned to auction them and the group acted to spare the animals from slaughter and mistreatment. Gov. Milton Shapp and others had voiced concern as the wagons gathered at Valley Forge for Fourth of July events.
