News Journal, Mansfield, O. Sunday, June 26, 19B8 4-g Focus: people, Senior citizens' Aspirins work for pets, too Pets -p Deborah Lawson Zd The purpose of hunting sometimes is said to be the culling of weak and diseased animals, though critics point out that the person with the gun doesn't give the animal a physical before it is killed. Many states spend a healthy percentage of hunting-license fees for planting vegetation that attracts animals to be shot at, or for burning, defoliating and flooding for the same purposes. The original goal of the hunter food has long since been lost to the sporting aspect, and millions of dollars now are expended on guns, ammunition, hunting attire, camping equipment and licenses. Hunting is a big and growing business with a powerful lobby behind it.

As Leonardo da Vinci wrote, "The time will come when men will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men." Knlght-Rlddir Ntwtpaptrs Aspirin has been called a miracle drug, and rightly so. In addition to being an analgesic, or pain reliever, it can lower fevers and reduce inflammation. A study released in January indicated that an aspirin taken every other day can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack in adult men. And we now learn that it can do as much to help canine and feline coronary problems. Dr.

James Ross, of Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, says, "Aspirin does the same thing in dogs and cats that it does in humans. It makes it possible for the blood to flow more freely and prevents clots from forming." A study published by Ross and Dr. Cecelia Helenski found that aspirin reduced blood clotting in cats with cardiomyopathy, a disease that affects the heart muscle. It also can be beneficial in treatment of heartworm, Ross said. The the toxicity of chemical products used around the home, particularly for people with pets and children.

So I pass along, courtesy of the American Kennel Club Gazette, a fascinating recommendation for a nontoxic way to rid the garden of moles. The suggestion is from Lynne Jensen, an Airedale fancier who lives in Down-ingtown, Pa. First, don rubber gloves to mask the human smell; then stuff unwrapped sticks of fruit or spearmint chewing gum down the holes. Jensen says the moles gobble the gum, are too stupid to spit it out when they are unable to swallow it, and choke to death. This is supposed to work overnight.

Incredible. In 1986, the 50 states issued 15,773,190 hunting licenses. Pennsylvania had the most licensed hunters, with Texas was second, with 1,130,630. The Wright Sisters women's support group, The Center, 741 Scholl Road, Mansfield, 7 p.m. Emotions Anonymous, The Center, Mansfield, 7:30 p.m.

Ashland County Senior Citizens Center, 615 W. 10th mm wsm 9 m- tar.v jm- BPS heartworm parasite can cause formation of blood clots that break off in the circulatory system or lodge in vital organs, with fatal effects. Aspirin helps prevent such clotting. Ross cautioned that aspirin can cause side effects in animals, such as severe stomach bleeding in cats, and should be used only under veterinary supervision. The dosage should be carefully measured.

It also is vital to avoid aspirin substitutes, such as Tylenol and other drugs containing acetaminophen. Aspirin substitutes can be lethal to cats and, it now is suspected, very harmful to dogs as well. There is increasing concern about the program. Anyone single, widowed or divorced is welcome.
