1316.0. "SUFFERING IN PUERTO RICO" by NRADM::MARINO () Fri Apr 29 1988 21:14

    Has anyone out there heard about the pathetic situation down in
    Puerto Rico?  I know some people who have travelled there on business
    and vacation and said that it is really awful.  Cats and dogs are
    dying of disease and starvation due to lack of money and concern
    in the state.  Are the humane societies in this part of the
    country doing anything about this situation?  Is there anything
    we can do?

    Yes there some stray dogs and cats but-the average (read
    Non-Deccie,Non-military)family in PR is well below the poverty
    level.
    This is typical of most poorer countries. I am one of the most
    devoted animal lovers in the world but people do count also!
    
    Incidently some of the strays etc. have been caused by American
    families on TDY who do do the old dump the pet trick-or adopt one
    and than leave.
