To their rescue: 47 Trenton cats & countless US animals

In a joint operation to help area felines in a big way, two organizations this week “special rescued” nearly 50 cats from a Trenton home after their owner had died. With Trenton Humane Law Enforcement (HLE), St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center (based in Madison, NJ) removed 47 cats from a home on Lamberton St. last Wednesday.

After hearing of the cats’ situation from area rescue groups, HLE Bureau Chief Jose Munoz reached out to the family friend who had been caring for the cats.

Then, once inside the house, Munoz and his staff (officers Jose Millan, Nikijha Blakely, Jason Riley and Hector Avalos) worked with St. Hubert’s reps to remove 47 cats of all ages, including four newborns and their mother. While a few may have upper respiratory issues, most seemed well, Munoz says.

St. Hubert’s staff loaded up all the cats, who had been released to their custody, and took them to their Noah’s Ark facility, in Ledgewood, NJ. Once their medical evaluations are completed, the cats will be available for adoption at St. Hubert’s Madison location.    

About dog crates

Here’s a question for readers who are dog-owners: how much do you use your pet’s wire crate with her/him?  Only when the pet is young and/or new?  For your dog to sleep in at night, with the latch closed?  Left open for your dog to drop in anytime, as desired?  Where your pet stays when not playing, eating or outdoors with you?  Stored away once your dog has been trained and matures?

Hoping you’ll decide to comment and tell us how you use your dog’s wire crate.

Expand hunting? NO!

Looking forward to some good old all-American fun after your quarantine ends?  How about hunting bears, bobcats, mountain lions and many other animals, or catching some fish, all in newly expanded areas?  

That’s how the US Fish & Wildlife Service proposes our getting out in the fresh air and enjoying nature -- tromping through flora and killing fauna.  Such fun.

For details on this horrific idea that the Animal Protection League of NJ (APLNJ.org) alerted me to, just read the flyer below, then please take action. . . against it!  Simply go to the link provided below and comment -- early and often!

Bobcat

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Expand Hunting and Fishing in Wildlife Refuges. Again. Tell them "No!" The deadline for comments is June 8, 2020.  The proposal opens up 2.3 million acres on wildlife refuges in nearly every state, including New Jersey's Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, where it would expand existing sport fishing to new acres. (Pictured above.) According to the Center for Biological Diversity, the plan will "open dozens of national wildlife refuges to expanded hunting of bears, bobcats, mountain lions and many other animals. What's more, it has suggested that doing so will give people something to look forward to after the pandemic." See the full plan by clicking here. The press release about this is here. Please go to this link and click the "comment now!" button: https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=FWS-HQ-NWRS-2020-0013 Proposed Rule Posted: 04/09/2020 ID: FWS-HQ-NWRS-2020-0013-0001 Please share this information with everyone you know.  It affects the entire country.

Thanks!

Wishing all animals a happy Mothers Day!
