Everydayfurryinno- cents are harmed in some reprehensi- ble way. It is done by hu- mans, who are often credited to be the more evolved, therefore bet- ter, species. Since the be- ginning of time man's in- humanity to the creatures of this earth has abounded. The forms of abuse are many and the stories are legendary. Any time is a perfect time for each of us to stand tall and defend the defenseless. We know that it is impossible for one person to right all the injustices done to all the abused crea- tures in this world. Never- theless, it is our duty to help put a stop to it. If one voice can speak up, if one per- son can do one action and help one animal, imagine what a hundred voices can do, what a thousand actions can accomplish. There are many who are unaware that they are in- flicting any harm. Typi- cally, the cruelty involves neglect and usually arises out of ignorance or indif- ference to the animals' suffering. A person who leaves an animal outside all day during extreme heat and forgets to fill the water bowl would be an ex- ample of this. Hoarders are another type of "un- intentional" abuser. They have no real awareness of the extreme misery they are inflicting on the ani- mals they claim to be help- ing. Intentional abuse is another matter, entirely, and recognizing it is a "no- brainer." Some examples of these abusers are the ones who torture and maim for enjoyment, or the abu- sive spouse who harms the family pet to keep everyone in line. The California penal code prohibits maliciously and intentionally maim- ing, mutilating, torturing, wounding, or killing an ani- mal. It also prohibits an an- imal from being deprived of proper food, drink, or shel- ter and protection from the weather, and riding, over- working, or using an ani- mal when it is unfit for la- bor. Another statute prohib- its leaving an animal in an unattended car under con- ditions that endanger its health and well-being. Cali- fornia law also prohibits ad- ditional conduct that quali- fies as animal abuse. Some of these specific laws ad- dress: poisoning animals, transporting animals in an inhumane manner, the con- ditions of animals sold in a pet stores and the confining of animals in such a man- ner that they become entan- gled or injured and/or have no access to food or water. In order to be proactive in abating cruelty, be aware of what it looks like. Learn the numerous signs indica- tive of animal abuse. Notice if an animal has a severely matted and filthy coat, and if its fur is in- fested with fleas or ticks. Check if the animal has open sores, multiple healed or untreated wounds, limps, or is unable to stand and walk normally. Observe if the animal's overall health is poor and if it is grossly underweight with bones clearly noticeable. Discern if there are untreated con- ditions that have caused rashes, large patches of lost hair and bumpy, scaly skin. If an animal is consis- tently outside in all types of weather without an ob- vious source of food and water and protective shel- ter, and appears to be ei- ther aggressive or fearful, it may be abused. Be aware that behavior, alone, may not be truly indicative of cruelty. Animals may ex- hibit actions not consid- ered normal for a vari- ety of reasons other than abuse. If the animal is kept in an area littered with fe- ces and garbage, or housed in something too small for adequate movement, or the guardian is often seen phys- ically hurting it, then the environmental factors rein- force the emotional indica- tors of abuse. Animals abandoned in yards are unfortunately too common an occurrence. If a neighbor has vacated a location leaving animals caged or tied without ac- cess to sufficient food, wa- ter, and/or shelter it is aban- donment, another form of abuse. If a person accumulates multiple animals, far be- yond what is allowed in city and county limits, and fails to provide adequate care leading to dehydration, malnourishment, and death it could be indicative of ani- mal hoarding. Albert Schweitzer stated, "Anyone who has accus- tomed himself to regard the life of any living crea- ture as worthless is in dan- ger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives." Cruelty to animals not only erodes the fab- ric of society but also jeop- ardizes our own personal safety. Recognizing animal abuse is an important first action.

Police Logs Discoveries of wonderful gold, dyes, crude sulphur, white chalk and other valu- able deposits at the base of Mount Lassen have been made recently which bid fair to add wealth and fame un- dreamed of to Northern Cal- ifornia. Thedyedepositsweresent to the State Laboratory at Berkeley for analysis, and it was found that the samples submitted for investigation contained at least thirty-five different colors. Other sam- ples are being prepared to be dispatched to Washing- ton D.C., for Federal analysis and report, and the results, while not expected to prove anything beyond what has been accomplished at Berke- leybythestatechemists,itis thoughtthatalargernumber of samples from the deposits will enable the government to find even larger number of hues than have been re- ported. The important find was made by A. L. Nichols, a miner of French Gulch; Ed- ward Hufford, a merchant of Whitmore, and John Ellis, a farmer living in the Ball's Ferry district at "Bumpas' Hell," near the foot of Mount Lassen. These men have been de- veloping their claims and theirdiscoverieshavecreated a tidal wave of excitement in the mountain regions. In ad- dition to the dyes, they un- covered a gold-bearing ledge of ore assaying from $8 to $9.35 per ton. The ledge is being opened from the top and so far has been found to be 150 feet in width. Explo- rations are continuing with renewed zeal. — Sept. 10, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
