| ABOUT HAWC |
| HAWC is a volunteer, non-profit organization whose purpose is the prevention of cruelty to hooved animals from abuse, neglect or other means, through education, investigation, foster home placement and adoption to loving, responsible homes. HAWC is incorporated in the State of Pennsylannia and our investigating officers have completed the state mandated humane officers training courses. We work closely with our local Humane Society and other local organizations on livestock complaints in the Erie County. HAWC promotes the proper care of hooved animals through education aimed at 4-H Clubs and other related groups by making the public aware of issues concerning hooved animals. The Hooved Animal Welfare Council's purpose is to have: 1. Volunteer HAWC Humane Police Officers respond to complaints about cruelty and neglect of hooved animals within Erie County. 2. To rescue and rehabilitate abuse and/or neglected livestock and adopt them into caring, responsible homes. 3. Encourage and monitor the humane treatment of all hooved animals by educating the owners in the proper care and use of hooved animals by our Humane Police Officers. 4. Cooperate with the PA Department of Agriculture and any other organization responsible for the control and welfare of such animals. Please help us make a difference for these abused and neglected animals and improve the con- ditions for all hooved animals by joining or making a contribution to the Hooved Animal Welfare Council. |
