VDT incorporates video into animal shelter tour report
Guess they thought a good time to start in-line YouTube video
was when they could show
kitties and puppies.
Hey, if that gets the VDT doing video, I’m for it!
As promised at Tuesday’s Lowndes County Board of Commissioners
meeting, the Lowndes County Animal Shelter (LCAS) allowed the public
the opportunity Wednesday afternoon to get a behind-the-scenes look at
the facility that has recently come under fire.
Employees, both past and present, have accused several shelter employees
of inhumane treatment of animals, the mishandling of tranquilizers and
illegal operating procedures.
“I think that there’s a lot of questions that need to be cleared
up,” said Haverkamp. “The commissioners need to clean house and
do their job. As far as how they keep this place, I’ve never heard
anything bad, that part’s good. I’m just curious about the timing
of this walkthrough. It seems kind of strange. The allegations really
have nothing to do with the shelter itself, but more to do with the
operators. Taxpayers pay these salaries and we have a right to know
what’s going on here.”

At least two of the speakers at the commission earlier in the day
took the tour:
Jessica Bryan Hughes
and
Judy Havercamp.

Thank you for keeping any eye on this.
