S P C A Reports Cruelty To Dogs In Washington County
The S P C A reports rising cruelty cases in Washington County mainly involving dogs. Elmer L. Hurd notes neighbors report most complaints as owners fail to feed or care for dogs or keep them from running at large. He cites incidents of dogs left without food during trips and chained dogs with barely any sustenance. Instances of sheep killing dogs harming livestock are linked to owner neglect, including a five-dog pack near Mt Etna and another in Williamsport. The group handles calls but lacks power to compel owner cooperation.
