‼️🔊WHY things have NOT changed in SBC shelters over the last few decades!

The state representative is James C Ramos, and state senator is Rosilicie Ochoa-Bogh. You’d think they would be involved in getting to a resolution in all this.

Please report any trolls, scams, or harassment to the moderators. All involved in caring for cats, whether it be pets, foster, caretakers, rescue etc. are loving, caring people who often have strong opinions on proper care practices. Some of these can be controversial.

I can tell you stories of how grand juries have been bought in California. It certainly seems beyond belief they can't smell or see the pee or the rotting animals.

People have complained about Devore for decades, not 2 years. Their 'inspection' consisted of posing as potential adopters, during public hours? So they didn't see anything behind the scenes like receiving, new intake hold, isolation/sick rooms, medical/surgery, records, etc? Special interest group's agenda? Like wanting fewer animals killed and better care to improve live release rates, not just equally as bad as other organizations and entities? Good grief.

I suspect corruption.

1000% & it’s all going to come out!

I wonder if the inspection was known in advance. When I worked in a preschool - we were alerted to inspections weeks in advance.

[u/Monkittyruccia22 → u/Fireflyinsummer]

Probably!

Is 45 percent euthanasia rate for Apple Valley including dogs?

[u/Monkittyruccia22 → u/Fireflyinsummer]

Lmao no

It’s 93% at Apple Valley Not sure what Devore truly is

[u/Thoth-long-bill → u/Monkittyruccia22]

For the month of Feb 24 alone the euth rate was 65% if I remember that testimony provided to AV TC by a speaker

I literally said wtf out loud. We must be louder than this. How can they not see how bad it is just by looking at these cats.
