My Lord, how does he sleep at night?Originally Posted by AddieBee
I've seen video of how the Dog Warden does his job there... it is terrible!!! I think he enjoys choosing the animals and dragging them out of there.. once they are dead he drags them on the ground like a piece of garbage and tosses them into the incinerator. The video focused on dogs. Let me see if I can find it.
That was my impression, as well.Originally Posted by atinsley
I had to turn off the video. It looked like he chose that dog just because it wasn't behaving exactly the way he wanted it to. I understand that sometimes they need to do it but they don't need to take pleasure in it and disrespect the dogs
Oh I fully agree with you, Eithne. Infuriating to see how many animals ... cats especially... being dumped. People lie to themselves and tell themselves that their animal will be OK. At the high kill county facility we are trying to improve.. it is in the paperwork.... but no one reads it, I'm sure. And I happen to know that the people there, when they take in the animal, say, of COURSE we will try to find a home for Fluffy. NONSENSE.Originally Posted by icklemiss21
Maybe they should be taking care of 'Fluffy' themselves instead of leaving animal control to do it, my animal control gives you the option of paying for euthanasia & cremation (no ashes back) or paying a surrender fee and what happens, happens - it could be adopted, euthanised or anything else.
Not this place - that is among our top concerns. Sorry to go OT here. To generate money for the County's general fund, rescues were being charged the same fees as pvt individuals to adopt. They did amend that... but rescues still have to pay to get an animal out of there... depending on whether or not the animal is already fixed, chipped, has records of recent rabies vax, etc.Originally Posted by icklemiss21
As long as they are going to a registered rescue, our high kill animal control waives the fees and will even vaccinate and deworm the animals for the rescue, they will even call shelters when they get a super sweet one they want to save etc
