I wonder if taking animals from one kill shelter to another is nothing more than shuffling animals, er I mean merchandise, to give the appearance of good will. HSI is suffering from it’s own misadventures in animal sheltering, even currently endorsing on it’s website the killing of animals for population control (calling it euthanasia http://www.indyhumane.org/abouthsi/faqs.htm) so is it not a matter of time before 40% of these Rushville dogs will meet their demise at the end of a needle? Who will be monitoring the outcome of the fate of these dogs at the end of the day?
Would it have been so hard for the Rushville shelter administration to have taken it upon themselves to assure that the animals under their watch went to guaranteed placement organizations?
Thanks for the nice story. Let’s also also be sure we are looking at the big picture.
