Omg, that is horrible horrible conditions. I would have never thought I would see that at an American shelter.

I would talk to the mayor, print up some flyers, hand them out around your town, and see about talking in front of the town hall.

PUT IT IN WRITING if it is refused or you cannot get heard call the media, make copies of the pics copies of the proposition and the laws pertaining to their actual function and let it roll.
Perfect.

I am still shocked at the conditions.
