Last week, Marcia Crandall and
I witnessed the strangest case of
animal cruelty we have yet seen.
The little shaggy dog pictured
with today’s column arrived at the
shelter dragging incredible
masses of his own hair matted in
to great unwieldy lumps dangling
between his legs, hanging from
his stomach and even one from his
left ear. He could scarcely walk or
perform bodily functions because*
of the obstructions. A more pitiful
sight would be hard to imagine.
We proceeded with blunt nosed
scissors and extreme caution
because the weight of the matted
hair dragged the skin well away
from his little body. We spent ful
ly an hour removing the worst of
it and decided not to attempt com
bing and further grooming until',
the little fellow had time to
recover from his ordeal.
Remarkably, he went through the
entire operation without com
plaint* Only when given some food
did he snap and growl. A later ex
amination of his bony frame made
clear this response to food. He was
By-Pass Named
For Senator East
HIGH POINT—In a tribute to
the late Senator John P. East, the
North Carolina Board of
Transportation voted Friday to
designate US-264 bypass in honor
of the senator.
The bypass, located between
Farmville and Greenville, will
bear green and white highway
markers indicating the route as
the “John P. East Freeway.” The
road is approximately 7 miles
long and was recently four-laned
and relocated.
Senator East served for six J
years in the United States Senate 1
until h|s death last summer. A !
resolution passed by the transpor- 1
nation .hoard hailed Easts’ ac- !
romplishments as a statesman |
and noted that he had made 1
significant contributions to his !
community, state and nation.
Board of Transportation
nember Randy D. Doub, who
•epresents Pitt County where
JS-264 is located, said, “Senator
£ast was an outstanding citizen,
rhose of us fortunate enough to
mow him recognized him in that ■
-are quality of caring and love for !
ill his fellow citizens.” •
Also, in a unanimous vote, the !
ioard moved to designate a por- ’
ion of NC-18 in Burke County in 5
lonor of the late Senator Sam J.
Irvin.
The highway runs through
lurke County, from the Caldwell
bounty line on the north to the Lin
oln County line on the south. The
3-mile stretch of highway is two
aned, except in Morganton,
'here it is multi-laned.
Ervin, who died in 1965, was
orn in 1896 in Burke County. He
'as — ’ ' L —
half starved as well.
Finally, we weighed both the
dog and the grocery bag two
thirds full of matted hair. The dog
weighed seventeen and a half
pounds, the bag of hair weighed
five and a half. He had been car
ting around with the skin of his
body and limbs the equivalent of
one third of his weight!
We hope the we can find a good
home for this little dog, for he cer
tainly deserves one. First he will
be taken to visit a veterinarian for
a general checkup. He should be
neutered as soon as he is in good
enough health and then should
make a very good pet. Needless to
say we will insist that he go to so
meone willing to spend a little
time grooming him in the future.
He is not meant to be a wool pro
ducing animal. It is simply not
understandable that anyone could
allow the poor creature to reach
this condition. Sheer neglect!
Anyone "irtteresteiii in the
possibility of adopting this little
dog may call 482-3764 or 482-8623.
We will keep our readers advised
of his progress.
*****
The good news from the shelter
is that three hunting dogs and one
small dog were adopted this past
weekend. The bad news is that
winter is beginning to make life
unpleasant there especially for
the small puppies. Winterizing ef
forts will need to begin soon.
The time is also fast ap
proaching to plan SPCA member
ship renewal.
