Did any of these dogs receive a veterinary consultation prior to being killed? Were they all medically hopeless and suffering?

Although we don’t see any evidence of a veterinary consultation via the webcams, that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I’m sure the mayor will release security camera footage to the media with a full press release if he feels these shots are giving the wrong impression to the public. Maybe we’ll get to see these dogs beaten with steel poles too.
If that little dog in the last series of shots was medically hopeless and suffering, why was he left to sit for so long unattended in a situation where any dog would be terribly frightened? And if he wasn’t medically hopeless and suffering, why was he killed without being given at least a chance for adoption? I mean, could they have offered him for adoption for like, two hours even – just in case somebody happened to come in and want to take him home? Is two hours too much to ask? Finally, how much longer did he sit in the cage after he was left in the kill room? Did he have to watch other cats and dogs die while he waited for his turn to be killed?
Memphis, please – stop the killing.
