This is horrible. Our shelter in central PA was struggling with some of the same issues. The community was able to put enough pressure for the director to leave. Exposing ongoing abuses was key. New management has already turned so much around with focus on getting/keeping animals into homes and removing prior barriers to better care in the shelter, hours open to public, open adoption events, removing breed labels, fair and respectful treatment of staff and volunteers and increased fostering and adoptions. It’s not perfect, but it has been exciting to see the positive changes in just a few months. It is possible and I appreciate all you have done to educate and help communities do better.

Again, thank you, Nathan -- will be sharing -- as to LA Animal Services staff who threatened to KILL 800 Dogs .. -- WHO do they think they are ?! — this is wrong & unacceptable — We MUST put an END to draconian, barbaric Animal Shelters.
