Companion Animal Alliance in Baton Rouge, LA has a troubled history.

Caswell Co Pound and Transport
The Caswell Co pound in NC has a website that's rather, uh - brief.

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
