Secretary of Agriculture: Pennsylvania Dogs to Face Horrific Consequences for Legislature’s Inaction on Dog License Fee Increase
02/25/2021
Harrisburg, PA – Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding was joined by partners in animal welfare to bring to light the horrific conditions that Pennsylvania dog wardens prevent and report on a regular basis. Now, due to the legislature s lack of effort to increase the dog license fee that funds the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, wardens are being stretched thin and their services to protect the dogs of Pennsylvania are slipping. Pennsylvania s dog wardens are the eyes and ears inside Pennsylvania s kennels, where dogs are bred. Without a search warrant, no other agency is legally allowed inside, said Redding. Kennel inspections allow wardens to be the first line of defense for the dogs who live there.
