HSUS Takes 250 Animals from SC Home
We all know how much HSUS loves to put on their logo attire and grab an armful of puppies to parade before the TV cameras so they can yell RESCUE! immediately followed by SEND MONEY! And while I believe HSUS is a misleading, dishonest anti-pet organization who does the opposite of rescue, I do support … Continue reading HSUS Takes 250 Animals from SC Home

Three healthy orange kittens were killed at the Memphis pound on August 24, 2012 because, according to the records obtained via FOIA request, "space is needed for incoming animals".

Forgot Your Kitty Floss? NYC Pound Might Kill You in Order to Get Money from Maddie’s Fund
This cat came into New York City Animal Care and Control nursing a litter of kittens. NYC ACC has now placed her on the kill list due to "severe medical conditions". I read through all the exam notes to see what these major medical problems were. I was expecting to find something like multiple broken … Continue reading Forgot Your Kitty Floss?
