LC Comm'r Glenn Eckhart Goes to the Dogs

My feelings about little animals are pretty much the same as about children - I like them if they're properly cooked. Ken Petrini, LVCI and Betty Cauler are much nicer. They've spotlighted a humanitarian resolution penned by Lehigh County Commissioner Glenn Eckhart, asking the state to reconsider Peaceable Kingdom's application as an animal control shelter.

Peaceable Kingdom, unlike the Lehigh County Humane Society, is a lot less likely to euthanize, and provides some old-fashioned competition. Until January 28th, Louie’s Restaurant (on 31st Street in Allentown) will donate 20% of your bill, excluding booze, to Peaceable Kingdom.

I'll have the veal. Or a hot dog.

    Another good deed from the blogosphere. Careful! You might earn a reputation of being a pretty nice guy!!!

    Thanks for posting on this issue - the monkey family is currently hoping to find a dog at a shelter to come be a part of our family. We'd never think of going to a breeder - shelter dogs make great pets. Kudos to Peaceable Kingdom and all those other shelters that help the helpless animals in our community. (And kudos to those who get the word out about their mission.)

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
