Repelled. Repulsed. Nauseated.
I am too disgusted by the seemingly endless killing and inhumane treatment of pets at Memphis Animal Services to put more webcam shots on the front of the blog today.

I have written to Memphis city leaders expressing my general concerns over the abuse and needless killing at the shelter. I have written separately to advise of the abuse of a cat in labor at MAS, to question if dogs and cats are made to watch other pets being killed, and to inquire where dogs … Continue reading Mayor Wharton Sort of Weighs in on MAS Concerns

Submitted by reader Lindley who writes: This is my absolute favorite cat at the shelter. I truly love him. I call him L'amour because that is exactly what he is, a love. He has to be the sweetest cats at the shelter. He only wants to next to you and I don't think he could ever tire of getting … Continue reading Shelter Pet of the Day
