Ariz. Humane Society changes policies after cat killed

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

7. Read the next paragraph,

Pearson acknowledged Scruffy's injuries were treatable but said they were so significant that clinic staff could not return the cat to Dockery without treatment. She said the staff also could not let the animal go without treatment for 24 hours.

They wouldn't treat the cat and they wouldn't return the cat so he might take it elsewhere.

Sadly asshole bureaucrats see some of the worst animal cruelty occur within agencies supposedly in the business of caring for animals.

A number of years ago a dog my parents were attempting to adopt was put down because some asshole manager took her sweet time coming back from lunch and a 1:00 adoption deadline was missed even as my parents sat in the lobby with a leash, collar and kennel.

There was no reasoning with anyone, the "vet" was there to kill a dozen dogs and nobody on site had the authority or more likely was just too fucking lazy to go downstairs and get the dog.
