Fifty-Three
You may remember on August 26 when some "people" at MAS thought it was very ha to put a stuffed monkey in front of one of the webcams.

You don’t have to say anything.
You don't have to say anything. I already know all of it. I can not personally save every pet on every kill list in every pet slaughterhouse in the country.

Snapshots from MAS
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the images from the MAS webcams. This is one of those times. So many pets who appear to be mistreated and needlessly killed while lifesaving options exist. I know that MAS isn't going to go no kill tomorrow. I'm a reality based person. But I sincerely wish they would at … Continue reading Snapshots from MAS
