Why is this important?

Independent animal rescues are calling for the resignation of Dr. Jennifer Federico. A week ago, Dr. Federico authorized the euthanization of 60 cats confiscated in a hoarding raid. Both sides agree that the 60 cats were ill and were suffering. The independent rescuers wanted the cats treated, but if that were to happen, then 60 cats in the shelter would have died. There is not unlimited space and resources for the animals in our community.

We are all in agreement that irresponsible pet ownership and lack of regulation on spaying and neutering are to blame. Our hope is that we can all join forces to work against that, instead of working against the people who are cleaning up the aftermath of this animal-overpopulation epidemic. Instead of criticizing the shelter and its staff, we can save animals by volunteering, fostering, and donating to the county shelter. Please join us in standing with Dr. Jennifer Federico.
