Animal control solution proves elusive in Delco

We used our editorial page today to take note of the continuing issue of animal control in Delaware County.

It is not going away, but the county's deal with a Chester County agency for animal control is.

The county's Animal Protection Board is terminating its agreement with the Brandywine Valley SPCA out in Chester County, which was brokered after the Delaware County SPCA got out of the animal control business several years ago, leaving the county in a lurch.

A proposal to build and operate a new shelter here in Delaware County proved too costly.

It's still being talked about in some circles, but come June 1 municipalities will be on their own in terms of contracting for animal control, although Brandywine makes it clear they will be happy to deal with Delco towns for animal control.

Here's our editorial.

Just horrible! Ppl need to start asking what these municipalities are doing with the animals!! Some could be using illegal or cruel means to dispose of them. Ppl need to look at all sides!!!

As what is being done with the animals!! Each town needs to be public about their "means of disposal"!! This is a very serious issue!!!
