REWARD – Missing Dog **Found**

Santo has been reunited with his owner. Safe and happy at home again!

In Memoriam

I would like to honour the life of a cat whose name is unknown, the whereabouts of his/her home is unknown but who was tragically struck down on a dark and rainy morning this week on Quadra Street.

“This beautiful creature did not suffer long but the sadness of the family and driver lingers on…..”

A donation has been made to honour his/her life.

thinking….

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less
precious than that of a human being. The
more helpless the creature, the more
that it is entitled to protection by
man from the cruelty of man.
