Lewes members of the Delaware
Humane Association are determined
to save all pet, dogs from fragrant
series of suspected dognapping.
Mrs. Raymond E. Moore, of
Lewes, Sussex County membership
chairman, says reports have been
coming to her that some individual
or individuals driving truck have
been patroiiing in Lewes between
midnight and dawn and picking up
any stray dogs they may see and
carting them away. Yelps and
screams of the captured pets have
been reported from time to time,
she says.
1--WE are determined to stop this
unhumane procedure" she says.
I'VE are alerting all dog owners to
be on the watch for such activities.
We ask them to try to get the Ii
cense of the truck and report i'm
mediately to the town police in what
direction it is going. We are also
asking pet owners to keep their
dogs tied up or inside the house at
night until this thing is cleared
up"
Mrs. Moore said resident reported
having frequently seen such a
truck, preceded by "prowl car" to
spot the wandering animals. She
says this has been going on in
Lewes since late fall, and it has be-
come worse in the last few weeks.
The DHA has appealed to the state
game wardens and was told that
such a practice was known to them,
not only in Lewes, but elsewhere In
the state.
The wardens said the unauthor-
lied dogcatchers can profit from the
sale of such captured dogs, that they
can get anywhere from 81 to 10
apiece, depending on the breed. The
type of truck they use is pretty
much the size and type used by
game wardens they say, with a
cage in the rear in which they can
crowd as many as 30 animals.
eve are going to get volunteer
'spctte" for these night providers"
Mrs. Moore added, ito receive COM
plants of any further activity and
notify police Immediately. We also
ask every dog owner to report at
c1ce any missing pet and give a
full description of it which we will
publicize as warning to anyone
wanting to put it to first investigate
it's source and report the seller"
