...but please look. Then, take action. Because this dog has no voice except yours. Update: Some of us were concerned that the large dog in the small cage hadn't been taken care of since the dragging incident yesterday. E-mails were sent to shelter director Matthew Pepper to that effect. I wondered myself if the dog … Continue reading UPDATED: Hard to Look at…

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 just don't have the stomach to see it every time I click on the blog. So I'm posting today's group of shots on a … Continue reading Repelled. Repulsed. Nauseated.
MAS: You are in a Hole. Quit Digging.
Memphis Animal Services hasn't reached out to rescuers regarding dogs on the kill list in the past. Now they are, which is great. Except they seem intent on burning out their local rescues faster than rescuers can reach for their TUMS. Yesterday MAS sent out an e-mail plea for 7 coughing dogs on the kill … Continue reading MAS: You are in a Hole. Quit Digging.

I took the title of this post from the reader who sent in these screengrabs from MAS last night. The first two shots are 15 seconds apart and appear to show an ACO trying to get a dog on a chokepole into a bottom kennel. The third shot is 30 seconds after the second one. … Continue reading You Have Got to be Kidding Me

The Scars of Your Love
Thank you to reader Kim for putting together this powerful video. Let's spread the word: Memphis Animal Shelter's 77% solution is unacceptable. We want city leaders to make Memphis a no kill community. Note: Because there is a song attached (which Sony would like you to buy), Sony does not allow the video to be … Continue reading The Scars of Your Love
This is What Cowards Do
You know how cockroaches scatter when a light is turned on? When confronted with the exposure of their inhumane practices and needless killing, Memphis Animal Services staff could have stepped up, taken responsibility and worked toward reform. I would have respected that. Instead, they have opted to act like cowards and hide their wrongdoing. This … Continue reading This is What Cowards Do
