The Toronto Humane Society is reopening this morning at 11:30 a.m. after months of controversy and upheaval following allegations of animal negligence.

The shelter has been closed since mid-April, during which time the THS performed retooling and retraining. The closure was part of a court-approved deal for the shelter to regain control of operations.

The shelter was scheduled to reopen June 1, but a new elected board of officials decided to delay the opening.

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raided the shelter last November, which resulted in the closure of the shelter and charges being laid against several top officials.

I don't know. I wish they were shut down & taken over by another group.. These people have already shown how money hungry they are, is only a matter of time they do it again, or learn to hide it better

Are the same people still running it?

Well, I hope they will be checked up on often. Will the OSPCA keep watching them?

Jess, if memory serves, a number of the people who were the strongest protestors before are now in charge.

I imagine they will be under a microscope for some time to come.

Honestly I lost all respect for the place years ago (thats when I learned & saw what they were doing).. I don't think I can ever trust any of them, ever! They will never get my support.
