Pittsfield Pony, Rabbit Deaths Spur Move

HARTWICK SEMINARY – Following last Friday’s rescue of a horse and two cats from a Pittsfield property where a pony, three rabbits and a chicken had died, the Susquehanna SPCA today announced a hotline for people who need help caring for their animals.

The hotline is (607) 547-8111, extension 108.

“Over and over again, we are witness to horrific scenes of animals that have suffered unnecessarily and died,” said SQSPCA Executive Director Stacie Haynes. “We have seen this happen with domestic animals but more often, it is farm animals.”

The “Here to Help Hotline” is a judgment-free zone, according to Haynes. Information obtained from those seeking help to keep their animals fed and safe will remain confidential and the service is free of charge.

Those calling will be asked a series of questions to assess need and to determine the best course of action, including possible surrender of some animals.
