The never-ending question for me is why there are always so many psychopaths and straight up animal abusers working in shelters to "protect" animals??? Don't they have to undergo a psychological evaluation before they are hired? Or better yet, turn control of these hellholes over to the rescue groups, who not only have experience in stretching limited funds, but would make these places what they truly should be: a haven and waystation for the lost, discarded and traumatized animals whose lives have value and importance.

I just do not understand how intelligent, educated, people like Assemblymember Donna Lupardo, can still turn a blind eye to helping shelter Animals — think of all the happy Animals who’d benefit — the large Animal “protection” groups like HSUS, ASPCA are NOT doing their jobs — If SARA were to pass, everyone would gain and there’d be NO losses — I don’t get it — I’m shocked.

Damn so much here. IMHO they are not Shelters if they are killing healthy and treatable animals and needlessly piling up dead bodies instead of collaborating with rescue groups to save lives. Our tax dollars at work. Maybe there is some hope for reform if we tie animals suffering in cages with people suffering in cages. If so-called progressive politicians are truly committed to police reform then it should have an impact on also holding animal control agencies accountable since they also fall under law enforcement in municipal hierarchies.
