On Tuesday night, under cover of darkness, a flock of 7O pink flamingos descended on East Stroudsburg at 353 Prospect Street. You heard right, that was SEVENTY/7-Zero/70!! You may need reminding but when our flock of flamingos arrived in the Poconos about 6 weeks ago, they numbered 24/TWENTY-FOUR! What the flock is happening? Have the beautiful birds sent out word that the Poconos is a migratory hotspot! As our crew of wranglers struggled to deal with the increasing size of the flock, they took the opportunity to ask Dr Sammie of East Stroudsburg Veterinary Hospital for an explanation. While the good doctor was quick to point out that she is by no means an expert on flamingo trivia, the reason was quite simple. Overpopulation was due to the perfect breeding conditions this spring and summer with warm days and plenty of rain?? Stated another way, the rapid growth in the animal population in the Poconos could be traced back to the lack of any sort of Low Cost Spay Neuter Alternative within this portion of Monroe County. While there has been a lot of activity at the recently opened Spay-Neuter Clinic run by EPAA/Eastern Pennsylvania Animal Alliance in Brodheadsville Option,the rest of Monroe County will benefit from the opening of a Low Cost Spay-Neuter Clinic at the Monroe County Animal Shelter on Godfrey Ridge Road! Watch for details to follow!
