MAS has capacity for 555 animals, per interim director James Rogers. Why are only 361 animals listed on PetHarbor today? And of those, why do 78 animals have no photo? Why are volunteers who offer to photograph and post the animals being turned away? With only 21 dogs and 18 cats listed as "adoptable", where … Continue reading Memphis Questions

Nola’s Killing at MAS: Firing One Person is Not Nearly Enough
Nola was not killed by mistake, nor was it an accident. She was intentionally killed after a series of negligent acts caused her to be targeted for killing by a system designed to arbitrarily snuff out the lives of healthy/treatable animals en masse.

No one can adopt this dog from MAS unless they meet special requirements because the pound has mislabeled her a "Pitbull". Let me be clear, I think it's ridiculous for shelters to have … Continue reading Take a little trip, Take a little trip
I just snorted milk out my nose.
Set your anaLIEzers to stun and see if you can count how many nose lengthening statements there are in this quote from MAS interim director James Rogers, regarding a puppy who was saved from a storm drain by a police officer and turned over to the pound: "A puppy like this, we pick it up, … Continue reading I just snorted milk out my nose.
