See one attendee's notes here. Three squad cars dispatched to the Adversary Board meeting. Calling all cars! Taxpayers who give a thumbs down to hanging puppies on chokepoles participating in local government! Remember how we used to hear that the shelter staff suffered from compassion fatigue and they needed special classes to cope? Now they're … Continue reading Debunked: Memphis Shelter Advisory Board Meeting

Memphis SNAFU
Golly this is a wacky coincidence but we got word from the city of Memphis a little while ago that the footage we requested has been taped over. Oops. See they thought it was there and they thought it only taped over every 30 days and they said they were taking steps to protect the … Continue reading Memphis SNAFU
“News” Article Promotes Death for Shelter Pets
A paper in Davidson Co, NC ran an article Monday in the "news" section (not "opinion") which promotes the killing of shelter pets. The author, L.W. Shoaf, characterizes pet advocates as "zealots".

Oh my stars…
Another one... Also, it’s been off-putting to see a group of Caucasian activists investing this much energy on dogs in a majority African-American city with 40% of its children living in poverty.

“You can stand me up at the gates of Hell but…”
As some of you may remember, I started the ChipIn for pets saved from MAS at the suggestion of a reader. It seemed like a good way to have cash on hand for sudden expenses that occur when you are rushing to get a pet out of a killing facility. We were able to pay … Continue reading “You can stand me up at the gates of Hell but…”
Chesterfield Co Shelter’s Drug Records Indicate Teeny Pets
Where SLED may be in this on-again/off-again investigation remains a mystery but thank goodness Fox Charlotte is on the case. They obtained drug records from the shelter for the past year and compared those records to the number of pets killed: In May, $44 worth of Euthasol, a lethal injection drug was purchased from Webster … Continue reading Chesterfield Co Shelter’s Drug Records Indicate Teeny Pets
No, you haven’t accidentally clicked on The Onion’s site
Dog killer Michael Vick would like to get a dog. And HSUS president and dog killing advocate Wayne Pacelle supports the idea. Discuss.
You’re sending me to the pound? NOW?!
Arizona: - Hello Officer. This Pitbull isn't mine. Also she's not pregnant. Can you take her to the pound? - Gee, she looks really pregnant - and in labor even - but ok, if you say so. Fast forward 5 minutes: - Hey, that Pitbull's having puppies in the back of my patrol car! AP … Continue reading You’re sending me to the pound? NOW?!
