The local Indy paper concluded a 6 month
investigation into the practices of our local
Indy Humane Society and the Indianapolis
Animal Care and Control, in regards to
euthanazia rates compared to other cities
our size (860,000).Our killing rate has gone
up 12.5 % since 1994. We euthanized over
22,000 dogs & cats last year alone. This is
unbelievable since the Indy Humane Society
controls a trust worth well over 14,000,000
dollars, but will not support low cost
spay/neuter programs in the city.The Humane
Society her is very high profile, and is
widely supported by the regular folks and the
very wealthy..I am so shocked and saddened
by this first of a three part series.I adopted my dog Buddy from the Humane Society,
and have taken many 'found' animals there
hopeing they would have a chance of adoption.
Now I wonder if I did the right thing by
taking them there...
