"It looks like the shelter operators could not handle the pressure. In January, they announced to county commissioners that they would retire at the end of their current contract. The commissioners then confirmed that pound seizure will be prohibited in all future contracts, and that carbon monoxide gassing of animals will no longer be allowed. Michigan animal advocates are currently planning a new shelter where the focus will be on animals' well-being—not on profits."

It matters to the one you save.

What GREAT NEWS!!! to read about.
When I read this it made me recall a previous employer where I worked in re-pack.
A couple of times I had to re-pack a puppy or it was young dog that was in fermaldahyde.
The box was damaged I had to get a new box to put it in.
I was sooo heart broken then I felt I had to give the fur kid some prayers,love and that was my mini version of the funeral that I felt it deserved!

Unfortunately the one remaining county, Gratiot, has a contract with the horrible man from R&R Reseach.
I think there's 2 years left in this contract. :(
A plus... their animal welfare group, Help Furry Friends, has done an amazing job getting their animals to rescues.
I know SCD has taken a couple from them..

I would love to see R&R put out of business.
