Companion Animal Alliance in Baton Rouge, LA has a troubled history. Although the pound's director resigned in December, it doesn't look like there have been any significant changes at CAA, at least not as far as pet killing and cover-up are concerned.

More Asshattery & Stupidity
MAS, for short. The two employees who watched dogs and cats being tortured and killed by three other employees (2 now convicted, 1 trial pending) are still on the job. They saw dogs being hanged, cats being stomped and other horrific crimes against animals and never said a word. This is not new information. And … Continue reading More Asshattery & Stupidity
