Help us tackle local animal cruelty:

   The Potsdam Humane Society's mission includes ensuring that
   animals in our service area are treated with compassion and
   care. To this end, we understand that the process for addressing
   animal cruelty cases in St. Lawrence County is seriously broken
   and requires community involvement, in conjunction with
   support from our locally elected officials, County Sheriff's
   Department and our County's District Attorney.

   The Potsdam Humane Society has approached our St. Lawrence
   County Legislators to request that an Advisor Board be estab-
   lished which will contain community members, legislative
   representative(s), and representatives from the Sheriff's office
   and the District Attorney's Office. The legislative board voted
   unanimously at committee to establish this advisory board.
   However, the process for setting this up has been delayed.

   You can help ensure that this Advisory Committee is established
   and given the support it deserves, please fill our the BioData
   sheet below and return it to Karen St. Hillaire at the 48 Court St.,
   Canton, NY, 13617 to express your interest in participating in
   this process and/or contact YOUR County Legislator and express
   your opinion about the importance of addressing animal cruelty
   in our communities. A link below will take you to the list of
   County Legislators. If you are unsure which District you are in
   you can contact the Board of Legislator's office at 315/379-2276
   to request this information.
