North Carolina Kills on Thanksgiving Week

A Shelter Pet’s reality during a Holiday week in NC. Most County Animal Shelters will close for of a total 4 days this week, which means Wed, Nov 21, 2012 many NC Shelters will KILL every animal in their facility. Why? As the staff does NOT want to come in to feed & water or clean their kennels. Welcome to North Carolina where you better pray you never lose your pet close to a Holiday as the 72 hrs. rule doesn’t seem to apply.  See how many dirty little secrets we hold in our Country Animals Shelters in NC, is this the state you want to move to, drive thru, give them your money or even come for a Holiday at? BTW, NC still believes in GASSING their animals to death, so hold tight to your little one while at the rest stop, the last place to want to misplace your family pet is North Carolina !!  We are a High Kill State, where about 14 of our Counties still refuse to report their kill numbers and more than 65% of them do NOT have a microchip scanner to even try to reunite these lost pets with their family before they shove them into a Gas Chamber. Again Welcome to North Carolina, where we put laws on the books that are unenforceable due to we place them under the wrong department. Example GS_130A-192. Looks wonderful on paper but it’s unenforceable as it was placed under the incorrect dept. which is regulatory and hold no enforceable power. Thank you Floyd McKissick Jr (Demo no less). For refusing to ever return a phone call or email on your own bill and correct your mistake that cost so many animals their lives every day.

North Carolina High Kill Animal Shelters

Saving one life from a County Shelter is more than most ever accomplish. God Bless and Thank You to those who fight on the front lines daily trying to save lives in a responsible manner. The cards are stacked against those in rescue due to the 72 hr. timeline and mass number of animals killed every hour in these County Shelters. Give what you can, do what you can do and again Thank You to those who take on this action. You’re a hero to the animals who walk out the front door versus being tossed out lifeless thru the backdoor. Never give up the fight for responsible rescue and to save lives correctly.

NC Gas Chambers to kill Shelter Animals must END!

 

Why are Flow meter’s not being used on the Gas Chamber’s here in the NC Animal Shelter System? When was the last state Inspection on any of these Gas Chambers? Why are we even in this day & time with the information we have today euthanizing our unwanted pet population in this barbaric way? It’s bad enough over 300,000 ( and that is a skeptical number as if you pull by County reports we sit  about 350,000 animals) that are being killed in the NC Shelter System every year with more that 50% being puppies and kittens which are 12 weeks old or under.

Yet still in NC over 19 Counties electively choose to kill via Gas Chambers. Yes, they electively choose to use Gas Chambers even knowing how barbaric it is and knowing that euthanizing via EBI would save their counties money. So what surrounds the madness in some of these NC Counties to still choose to electively use Gas Chambers to kill these sweet souls, well I encourage you to sit down and write a personal letter to each of these County Managers and ask them for that answer. And let’s see if in 2013 we can dispose of all remaining Gas Chambers here in NC and for this to happen we need YOU ! The animals need you to get involved, the animals need you to write heartfelt letters to these County Officials and help us turn this around. Being killed in a County Shelter at 12 weeks old is horrible enough but to be killed via a Gas Chamber is just unacceptable in this day in time.

 

North Carolina you can do better and as citizens of North Carolina we should all be embarrassed after all these other states in close proximity around us have stepped up to ban Gas Chambers at County Shelter’s all together. We don’t have to sit and wait for a State ban on these Gas Chambers, we just need to address each of these remaining Counties on a personal level.

 

I’m in are you?

Duplin County Animal Shelter fails State Inspection yet again Oct 25,2012

What does it take to understand that if you work in an Animal Shelter and you go by a kennel with an animal inside a cage and they have no water, you stop what you are doing and you give it water. Why would anyone need to have it in writting that you MUST GIVE WATER TO CAGED ANIMALS? If this is your staff then you need to fire and re-hire people with compassion and people who can think on their feet.

Duplin County Animal Shelter and Staff you are a disgrace, your excuse that you are doing the best that you can is a poor answer. Anyone who leaves animals with no water or a water bowl so high puppies cant reach it, feeds puppies & kittens hard food when their teeth are not developed yet to chew it, to allow animals no care over a weekend, well there is no excuse for this.

Revamp Duplin County Animal Shelter, get a new staff that has compassion and understands that caged aniamls need water and food. My heart breaks for these caged animals.
