 You know how Americans are appalled every time there’s a story out of China or Iraq about the government thugs primitively rounding up dogs and shooting them? Well, we do that, too. On purpose. Federal agents are out there killing dogs, more than one a day. They shot 157 dogs to death. And it’s not just in the yahoo states out west, either. (Although Texas and Arizona are the top states of dog-killing.) The USDA somehow insinuated itself into dog situations in 32 states. They went out and shot two dogs in Ohio and 30 in California. And it wasn’t because they feared they were rabid, either. They only tested 14 dogs for rabies. Keep reading USDA Kills Another 4 million animals, including 477 dogs and 1,991 feral cats 
One of the great finds in the Adirondacks–which is just full of places to see animals–was the John Dillon Park. International Paper started it a few years ago to be accessible to people with disabilities, but it’s open to everyone.The park is really amazing in that the grounds are kept very natural, not manicured, but the trails are all wide, smooth and easy to enjoy. Best of all was the staff, who were completely enthusiastic about finding all visitors something they would enjoy doing.We took a walk down a gentle path to Grampus Lake where we saw a loon family. Along the way a pair of snowshoe hares crossed the path. The Dr. Ellis at the information center set us up with Keith, a forestry student, who gave us a tour of the lake in quiet, gentle electric pontoon.
