Someday, people who put animals down unnecessarily will be the ones facing reeducation.

The people who can carry out these atrocities against life aren’t human. They’re empty shells as far as I’m concerned. Humans show kindness and empathy, and humans don’t kill the weak and vulnerable; they destroy tyrants and bullies, not small animals.

I know. It’s disturbing and sociopathic imo They must get a sick thrill out of doing this because why would anyone do this? They aren’t animal advocates or a shelter! They are sick people. Murdering kittens for no reason. There was no reason and open kennels. This is spiteful and cruel.

u/griffonfarm APPROVED AMAZON WISHLIST Aug 29 '24

Yes, some shelter staff enjoy killing the cats. The Hillside SPCA in PA used to have two women on staff whose favorite part of the job was killing. They'd just pick cats each day they didn't like for whatever reason or perceived slight the cats made against them and kill them. Happily, one of the women died a long, agonizing death from blood cancer and the other one had an equally painful, awful death from stomach cancer, I believe it was, so I like to think in the end, they got what they deserved.

u/Monkittyruccia22 Aug 29 '24

πŸ’”That’s just horrible! And women too? WTF is wrong with people? If you hate cats/dogs or have the ability to kill them you are definitely the worst kind of person to be working in an animal shelter! They need love compassion patience and kindness! Not to be murdered at the hands of evil psychopaths on a whim! I’m glad they suffered horrific long drawn out deaths. That’s well deserved imo! They can rot in hell too Anyone that can murder healthy animals is a disgrace to the human race! πŸ˜”πŸ’”

That is horrible and inexcusable. I hope they both died alone and marinating in agony and regret.

Are there no animal cruelty laws to bring down on the heads of the people who run this "shelter"?

u/Monkittyruccia22 Aug 29 '24

Yes but they disregard There is a lawsuit going on though and reports in the making.

u/notmyprofile23 Aug 29 '24

I know. It makes me fear for how they are treated at the end.

u/Monkittyruccia22 Aug 29 '24

Me too! I think about that a lot. They are already scared to death in there and to be pulled out of the cage then carried off to be heart stuck with no sedation even! They don’t even have the decency to put them under first! Who are the real ANIMALS here? We need NO KILL now! I’m so sick of these horrible posts! Breaking peoples hearts!

So sad, these poor babies

Hoping the sadness we all feel can fuel our motivation to continue to try to save as many of these kittens and cats as possible!

Tilly looks so much like my sweet tortie I adopted from a shelter. It makes me grateful that my cat was taken in by a good shelter, and heartbroken for these cats

In a much worse way.

u/Monkittyruccia22 Aug 31 '24

Well, probably yes until we can get some serious STAFF changes and do what WAS initially intended We have to continue fighting and get this RIGHT. These changes are ridiculous and they know it They won’t get the last word though. Remember there’s a lawsuit against them.

The people who thought it was the right decision to euthanize these cats, should go to jail for 20+ years in my opinion.

Monsters. These are narcissists making these calls. Who the heck euthanizes KITTENS? Freaks. Is there any legal recourse to stop this slaughter?

RIP Beautiful kittens. I pray God provides you with all the love, joy, and care that humans never got a chance to.

I know. Fortunately it will be much less after 9/1/24 The guidelines have changed drastically. We will see what happens now

u/Creative-Platform658 Aug 30 '24

Oh, thank God! What's the point of a shelter if it doesn't even give kittens a chance? It's more like a death factory that just takes strays out of sight.

This is so disgusting. These monsters who kill these beautiful babies should be put to sleep. I keep asking myself how can these people live with themselves?? They are not people. They are literally the boogie man from nightmares. I am praying so hard for karma to get these creatures. To Tiki, Tilly, Paddington, and Zayn I am heartbroken for you sweet kitties. Not even given a chance. You were not given the life you deserved. We all love you babies. Words can not express how sorry I am the human race failed you. Please know you mattered and were all loved fiercely. You all took our love over the bridge on your last journey home.

It would seem these people or person gets Cash for Killing Cats. It sure doesn't seem like a " Shelter" its a DEATH HOUSE. The Cats don't even get time for an Appeal ! They go straight to Death Row. This isn't a SHELTER ! A Killing Factory ! How can this Continue at this place!?
