The Pennsylvania Game Commission is doing the double-talk two-step again, according to the July 20 Trib article by Gregor McGavin.

The Game Commission's latest directive is to dispose of orphaned animals discreetly by humane steps (shooting them or beating them to death) unless it will draw media attention.

If you take an orphaned animal to a wildlife conservation officer, the animal will not be taken to a wildlife rehabilitator. It will be destroyed.

The commission continues to follow its kill-everything-that-moves policy.

Bobcats first, then elk. Swans will be next. And now orphaned animals - if they can get away with it.
