LETTERS [April 2000]
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, April 2000:
Mascotas
I am part of a small organization of Mexican and American citizens in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, trying to start a shelter for the street animals. We have nothing here for the protection of animals, and the conditions for the animals here are horrible. In May the city will dispatch trucks to throw out into the street hundreds of hot dogs laced with strychnine. That is how the population is controlled, or so they think. Approaching the city is on our list of things to do, but without a facility we are somewhat powerless. We are waiting to hear back from the city about possibly using some of their land. Meanwhile puppies and kittens are born every day in the street. We desperately need help!
