Mohawk Hudson Humane Society averts space crisis-- for now

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

MENANDS, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The space crisis at a local animal shelter has been averted, with 125 adoptions in the past week. However, Mohawk Hudson Humane Society officials warn the root cause of the overcrowding remains: a serious shortage of kennel space in proportion to the number of animals coming in. Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! When the shelter pleaded with the public for help last Monday, they had more than 400 animals in their care. One week later, that number is down to 297. CEO Ashley Jeffrey Bouck said it’s clear the community cares about animals with how they showed up to adopt, and enough donations have come in to allow the shelter to sponsor adoptions for the rest of the month. “It’s fantastic, but at the same point, it’s just one week. Our space crisis has been averted, but we’re constantly getting in new animals all the time from our municipal partners,” said Bouck.Officials said the shelter will help area mun...

Opinion: Refusing to teach preschool students with gay parents is cruel and evil

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila’s fight to turn some preschool children away from the schools under his control has no legal basis, no moral standing, and no foundation in the teachings of Jesus Christ.Would Aquila take Jesus’ words – “let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” – and add a caveat “unless they (or their parents) are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer?”The Archdiocese of Denver’s lawsuit filed against the state of Colorado is jarring. In 35 pages, the head of Colorado’s northern Catholic churches alleges that his preschools cannot teach LGBTQ children or the children of gay parents because it would violate the church’s sincerely held religious belief that homosexuality and living as transgender are sins.The dioceses responded to my question about how the school screens students for admission with a statement from Nick Reeves, counsel with the law firm Becket representing ...
