On behalf of the Kawaa’pomaakaa Society, the animal rescue group in Browning, I’d like to thank Bradley Wirth and his congregation at the All Saints Episcopal church in Whitefish for their most generous donation.

The Kawaa’pomaakaa Society feeds homeless dogs and places puppies and pregnant dogs in various Montana shelters, as Browning has no animal shelter. They put on three free spay/neuter clinics a year in Browning. In the last four years they have spayed/neutered 2132 animals.  Imagine how many more stray dogs would be suffering without their help.

Spay/neuter clinics are the ultimate solution in Browning, and the key to these clinics is education. The All Saints Episcopal Church and other generous Flathead valley residents have contributed $3,000 toward this effort in the last three months. We’ve also sent 1,500 pounds of dog food to Browning for the homeless dogs, as well as donated dog houses, beds and other needed supplies.

If you can help in any way, please contact me.

Magpie killers need conscience

I read a segment in recent police reports about a person who called to complain that a neighbor was shooting magpies. He had a box full of dead magpies on his porch. The report said that the caller was informed it is not illegal to shoot magpies. I spoke with the fish and game department, and it is a federal crime to kill magpies.
