The Henry County Humane Society shelter at Newcastle stands accused in the media of animal cruelty and mismanagement by a former employee and others. An allegation of inhumane euthanasia of dogs using intra-abdominal injection has been made. The shelter manager is accused of mismanagement of money, personnel and resources. Move to Act attended the shelter’s monthly board meeting on June 25th and has been assured that steps have been taken to avoid such problems in the future. No shelter is too big or to small as to not warrant timely review and improvement in it’s policies and procedures. Move to Act expects prompt address and resolution of these allegations in Newcastle.
