i just saw this on the news:
Lied re-opens, startling new reports released
“New figures reported in Friday morning’s Review Journal indicate that in 2006 an average of ten animals died each day at Lied Animal Shelter. That’s in addition to those being euthanized on a daily basis.
The Lied Animal Shelter re-opened its adoption center Friday, following a deadly disease outbreak.
The shelter euthanized more than 1,000 dogs and cats after an outbreak of intestinal and respiratory disease. That was more than half of the animals at the shelter. They were either sick or had been at the shelter for more than 120 days.
Lied officials say new policies are in place to prevent another outbreak. The shelter will no longer maintain a “no-kill” policy to help improve overcrowding and there is a new director to oversee operations.
A report obtained by the Review Journal shows the shelter euthanized 24,000 animals because of the medical or behavioral problems.”
and somehow they are open again? how many of my friends need to die before things will change? please get active and help us!!!!
luv,
