A gifted writer. An unwavering voice for compassion. A strong and powerful advocate for the environment and the humane treatment of animals. Someone who never gave up. Ever. Big hearted. Caustic. A watchdog. A passionate educator. That was Walter Brasch.
Walter is irreplaceable. Walter will be greatly missed by all of us at Humane PA.

I was unaware of these columns and this talented writer. I will be reading more.
It does occur to me however, that perhaps animal advocates, of which I consider myself one, could take a page from the NRA’s playbook. Shouldn’t we be giving grades to legislators?
I know that we can review their voting records but a quick glance to see an A or a F would be great! While I am a strong proponent of compassion, I see nothing like wrong with having state legislators fear animal advocates a little.
Beautiful tribute to Walter. I’m sorry I didn’t find this post until today. He will be missed by many. And thank you for the links to Walter’s articles on Dandelion Salad.
