		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s animal control oversight panel that monitors a private contractor, handling stray animals at taxpayer expense, has lost two members who resigned recently after what some say was “bullying” by the contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc. And after a meeting last week, Girl Scouts who had questioned the shelter operations say they suffered racially-tinged remarks telling Black children to “go back to Baltimore.” At the same time, Cecil County Executive Tari Moore and her administration have stood by the Buddies group and current control of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC) by pro-Buddies allies. Moore has also indicated in her budget that she is not looking for cost-savings in animal control operations even though the Buddies’ contract expires mid-budget year. At a meeting last week, several Girl Scouts from nearby Delaware attended the session as part of their efforts to learn about and attend government meetings. Three of the young girls spoke, in child-like voices that could barely be heard on the official audiotape of the meeting, for a minute or less each to urge humane treatment of the animals at the taxpayer-supported Buddies shelter located at a rented kennel in Elkton.
