Forty-six Newcastle Senior Citizens enjoyed a bus trip to Niagara Falls last Monday, returning Tuesday night.

Mrs. Elizabeth Skelding took the bus trip to Niagara or Little Help Aval Poorly Treated Animals by Tammy Hill When people are sick, they go to a hospital. When people are abused, there are help centres to turn to. But what happens to mistreated mistreated farm animals when they are abandoned or suffer suffer from cruelty? There is apparently no institution institution in the Durham Region Region capable of taking care of farm animals which have suffered from ill-treatment. Throughout the Durham Region, many municipally- operated Animal Control offices exist. But these facilities facilities are strictly for dcynestic pets such as dogs and cats., ■' In ,reference to the ques- : tï6n i! of who 'is responsible "for tending to abused farm animals, Cam Gordon, ofthe Town of Newcastle Animal Control said, "I was under the impression that the police were to investigate these type of calls." And Brian Irwin of the Newcastle By-Law Office said, "anything relating to that aspect (inhumane treatment of farm animals) unfortunately falls onto the police." The sad part of the situation situation is that once a mistreatment mistreatment complaint is received by Durham Regional Police, there is little they can do for the animal either. Staff Sgt. John Mail's said, "we can't do anything for TÏF BUSTER'S ROADHOUSE and TAVERN the animals, only lay charges of cruelty to the owner." At one time the Durham Region had a Humane Society Society facility, which was equipped to handle this type of animal. However, the Whitby location was closed due to lackofgovern- ment funding. Therefore, the. closest Humane Societies are located located in Toronto and Peterborough, Peterborough, which are still too far away to assist the Durham Region. Despite the lack of facilities facilities and some misunderstanding misunderstanding as to who should be caring for these animals, the problem remains1 remains 1 unsolved. ' "***'•> ; . ; Mr. 'Gordon 1 'commented that he receives a number of complaint calls, which he averages to be six per month. In some of these cases the farm animals are continuously mistreated. A recent complaint received received by Durham Regional Police involved the mistreatment mistreatment of a young calf. It was reported to the police that the calf was lacking food, water and shelter. In response, the police charged the owner of the animal, but again, nothing could be done to help it. Mr. Irwin remarked that Durham Police have always had the right to lay charges, whereas most other community community officers don't have to because there are Humane Society inspectors. "The whole issue is a real problem problem for the police," he said. Despite the fact that police are legally able to seize an animal if necessary, necessary, the animal still can't be picked up by any centres and taken away. The Town of Newcastle Animal Control and other similar facilities throughout throughout the Region are not .equipped to handle the farm animals. Even if they were, the Bowmanville facility would require extra staffing to provide suitable service. However should the need for extra staffing be suggested, Mayor John Winters Winters said, "I probably wouldn't support it." In Whitby there is one Humane Society organization; organization; however, it is run on a volunteer basis and is set up to take in cats only. ^ There seems to be no home for jTustreated farm animal^. T-Wrtt is' no gov- erhmetjtftMiatng, available to starFsiich a facility, and centres that ( once helped them are now'gone. The only way mistreated farm animals will stand a chance is if someone takes the initiative and makes them a home.
