Many of you have asked about requesting additional security camera footage from MAS. Some suggested specifically the day after The Compassionate Chokepole training class. I thought this was a good idea - a chance to see the immediate effects with animals hopefully being handled humanely. The request was filed but unfortunately, the city failed to … Continue reading City of Memphis Fails Another Public Records Request
Two Business Days Notice for Kill Lists
I am opposed - in every possible way - to the killing of healthy/treatable pets in shelters. I do however acknowledge that it goes on and tragically, until all those who refuse to place appropriate value on the lives of shelter pets are forced out, the killing will likely continue. As such, I have a … Continue reading Two Business Days Notice for Kill Lists
Baby’s Got a Brand New Bed
Thanks to some caring pet advocates in Memphis, Mama Pibs has a super comfy bed to lie on tonight. I loves me some irresponsible public. Damn!
Updated: Shelter Pet of the Day
This senior lady Pibble (ID #238955) at the Memphis pound was submitted by reader Jody who writes: I saw her when I was at MAS. She is incredibly sweet. All that she wanted was to be petted. She would close her eyes as if she was in pure ecstasy, as I rubbed her face and … Continue reading Updated: Shelter Pet of the Day

Misery in a Photo
The troubled pound in Floyd Co Georgia lists animals on adoptapet.com. With each listing, there is a mission statement from the pound which begins: The Animal Control department controls the stray population of Floyd County by code enforcement, capture of strays, and education of citizens. We also strive to provide comfortable temporary shelter for those … Continue reading Misery in a Photo
Work Ethic: Just Doing My Job
I grew up with the understanding that whatever my job, I should do my very best at it. Anything less would be unethical. If each person does his very best at his job, we are a country of greatness. If some slack off, we are only as strong as our weakest link. I work in … Continue reading Work Ethic: Just Doing My Job
Dear MAS, You Guys Scare Me, ha ha. Love, The Spanish Inquisition
Warning: bad language, not suitable for kiddies or those offended by swear words. Yesterday, a caring visitor to MAS saw a mama dog full of milk with no puppies. The visitor was concerned and expressed same to someone at MAS but was blown off. Still concerned, the person contacted me and sent me photos of … Continue reading Dear MAS, You Guys Scare Me, ha ha. Love, The Spanish Inquisition
UPDATED: MAS Impounds Stray Mama Dog Without Pups
This mama dog was impounded by MAS yesterday. She appears to have a live litter on the ground somewhere, most likely in the area where she was picked up, which is unknown. That MAS would impound this dog without her pups is unfathomable to me. Where are the pups? This dog may have an owner … Continue reading UPDATED: MAS Impounds Stray Mama Dog Without Pups
Things That Make You Go “Hmm”
The troubled Spartanburg pound in SC spent $17 grand on lobbying last year according to the group's 990 tax form (page 10). The Spartanburg pound has no lobbyists on the payroll to my knowledge so I presume they gave the money to one of the large national animal groups who does. The form doesn't state … Continue reading Things That Make You Go “Hmm”
