The Niagara County facility had poor record-keeping, so it’s
possible Ms. Carr did not receive the invoices. Some have expressed
concern about why all documents weren’t turned over during Ms.
Carr’s investigation. Others have also questioned if Rompun, even in
large concentrations and doses, are enough to make an animal
unconscious.

2 On Your Side contacted the SPCA Serving Erie County. Although Ms.
Carr was unavailable, we were told she based her report and
conclusions on the information that was provided to her and the
interviews she conducted.
Maybe if there had been more oversight and transparency at the
animal shelter, none of this would have happened.
At least in Erie County, New York, there’s finally some sort
of accountability.
Animal shelter vet resigns from board
Last month the Niagara County, NY SPCA
fired its executive director; this month
one of its board members resigned.
He is a veterinarian, and he oversaw the euthanasia that
a report by Erie County, NY SPCA
said was improperly applied.
He claims that wasn’t so, because the animals were anesthetized first,
and now invoices for the anesthetic have turned up.
