McAllen Animal Control seeks 60-day moratorium on picking up opossums
McALLEN – McAllen City Commissioners recently suggested a 60-day moratorium on picking up opossums. McAllen Animal Control wardens collect stray cats and dogs, as well as opossums and delivers all animals to the Palm Valley Animal Shelter. There, the shelter works to prepare the cats and dogs for fostering or adoption; opossums are generally let loose into rural areas by the shelter.
