Shelter Director fired for excessive euthanizations

[Catherine]

I know that story about the dog being euthanized. She had called and talked to the shelter, but when she arrived the next day, the dog had been killed. (I can't find the article either)

Shelters are only safe if they are "No Kill" shelters. Their definition of adoptable is much broader. They also use foster homes for damaged animals to give them a chance to recover. Euthanasia is a last resort when no other option is kind and merciful. I understand that my local shelter actually reviews all euthanasia cases afterwards just to make sure that the euthanasia criteria are acceptable.

I think a lot of shelters are moving towards a No Kill standard. Certainly the shelter in the article is moving towards being a no kill shelter. This wholesale slaughter goes totally against what she was hired to do. 147 in 9 days. What vet would put up with that.
