Animal Shelter - Who is running this mess?
Animal Shelter in Long Beach for animals
How come nothing has been done? My shelter has to have a Veterinarian. Its the law. Who looks at all those animals and gives them medical care. Do they just sit there and rot until they are euthanized? I feel sorry for those animals. Animals need shelters to keep them healthy and safe. These animals are probably put into worse situations than they came from. I have plenty of friends that would love to have a job with animals. How can they apply? I wounder if the shelter hiring people do not have the fund to pay employees. I know volunteers would come in and help. Maybe they should start a volunteer program. Abuse and neglect. That is horrible! I think the SPCA should be ashamed of themselves. How can they not see these things? I have been to this shelter. It is beautiful. The poor dogs on the shelter side were really dirty and some were shivering. I couldn't even get in to see the cats. They had the door locked. What kind of animal shelter locks animals up behind closed doors. Shame on you Long Beach Shelter for Animals!!! SPCA should turn you in. Please someone email me and give me information so I can apply to there and help.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!

The department thinks Kristina Vet tech sent out her report and that guy Victor will probably been fired for the incident. The department now can say, "We reprimanded this employee" The person responsible is Wesley Moore. He hired Sgt (SP), who watched the dog being mishandled and did nothing. We are so disgusted. I think the city council would love to know that the shelter animals are without medical care with the absence of the vet techs, who are both gone. Here is another animal abuse/neglect story. Another animal suffered neglect and abuse in the euthanasia area. A cat was brought in 3/27/08 and "apparently" euthanized by Lt.Quig late afternoon. The Cat was said to be "suffering" by MQ, who is not a Veterinarian. She left the cat in the carrier with the impound card on top of the carrier. The card stated she killed this cat with some type of put to sleep medicine. The cat was found alive the next morning in the same carrier in the euthanasia area ( 6-7am) 4 different employees had seen the cat and the card on top of the carrier and told other employees about it. The cat was still alive and starving in the morning. It had a severe case of mange. The cat had suffered all night long with no food or water and a "irremediable" medical condition. The impound card is missing now. I wonder what happened to it. Poor cat. Maybe the cat was not suffering at all like the card said. Who is she to decide that. Is she a Veterinarian? No ? Why are animals put to death because she thinks they are sick or injured? She should be charged with animal cruelty. Why are employees at fault for cruelty and supervisors can get away with it. 4 + people seen this cat in this situation but do not want to speak up because they will be punished. Who actually euthanized this cat that morning after it was found? Wesley Moore? Did He do it and cover it up like everything else? I would not be surprised. Shame on you Wesley Moore!!! Ignore this issue like everything else. Please Mr. Report sender guy. Send this to your contacts. You really have some good ones! Lets see if they fire the person who impounded this cat to blame someone.
